A. 03 TARTAN PATTERN
In the tartan pattern task I used mathematical definition such as series to add more details of the geometry. I used item list to document two series of points and created arcs in between and then connect arcs together to create a woven and interlocking effect. I also find the panel tool is extremely helpful to record data and serve as a reminder of what is happening and what should be done next.
A. 04 ATTRACTOR POINTS One Attractor Point
Two Attractor Points
Attractor Curve
In the attractor points task, based on one attractor point on a 2D grid. I deployed two attractor points and an attractor curve to increase the complexity of the grid system. In order to achieve that, I had to analyze the relationship between the individual element and search for the pattern underneath the geometry. It is a process of sorting of rationalizing the thinking of my design intend and feeding back on the design. This task also inspired me regarding to the LAGI project which I can use this definition to develop the relationship between circulation, solar trajectory, view framing, structure organization and geometry.

B. 02 REVERSE ENGINEERING
The algorithm demonstrate the linkage to the fabrication, considering the logic and sequence. I found it is important to manage to simplify a complex form into managable components. By breaking a big chunk into smaller groups, data can be more easily sorted and the algorithm is more clear and can be referenced to in the fabrication process.
B. 03 Technique: Development
A rectangle sweeps along two rails (two parallel curves) on the surface to create a strip which keeps vertical to the surface.
