1.1 Loft
Using Grasshopper I created a series of arc’s, this was created by joining two individual points (in Rhino) and the line component. A point on a curve slider in conjunction with a move component in the vector Z direction creates the third vertical point for the arc. This was repeated to form a series of 7 arcs which were lofted together. Adjusting the sliders allowed me to create a lofted surface which resembles a simplified form of the Yeezy. I also experimented with different loft options to create smoother more free form and more jagged and broken forms.
1.1 Loft
4 Curves, referenced from Rhino
Then Lofted within Grass Hopper
I experimented using an array around curve component to decorate the roof of the Cabano with a series of Yeezy Boosts 5 Curves, to resemble a Yeezy Boost
Used a move and rotate component within GH to attach it within the building fabric, attempted to make the cabins cladding resemble the lines across the Yeezy’s base.
1.2 Triangulation Tools
2.1 Addition to the Cabin
Created through using the cabin as an input and smooth meshing the surface, deconstruction of this mesh and then lofting the curves together. This series of iterations were based encapsulating the Cabanon within a protective cladding. The new creative ideas that were exploration within this series is using the cabin as an input to form an addition external skin for itself. The qualities that this parametric algorithm produced was encapsulating the cabin but in most cases still leaving the door and window sections open and accessible. With further adjustments and refinements this can lend itself to creating an additional layer to the cabin whilst it maintaining its functionality This practical sketch extends from the research because of its ability to yield unexpected and inconceivable geometry created through parametric thinking and design. Similarly this series of sketches illustrates how both a compositional and generative
