Week Three
Reading: Kolerevic B. 2003. Architecture in the Digital Age
Kolerevic described three fundamental type of fabrication techniques in the reading. Outline the three techniques and discuss the potential of Computer Numeric Controlled fabrication with parametric modelling. (150 words max)
The three fundamental type of fabrication technigues explained in the reading are subtractive,addictive and formative. The subtractive techinques is use for removing the specified volume of material from a solid. The addictive fabrication techinques is an incremental forming by adding material layer by layer. Lastly, the formative techiques is the process involving mechanical forces, restricting forms, application of hheat and steam to creaye a material in a specfic shape.

Week Three
Surface Creation
Using scripting is much more easy to create different iterations of surface. We can adjust the number slider to create different iterations of surface.

Week Four
Panels & Waffle
One of the surface are constructed with 3D pyramids, and the other one are constructed with 2D panel with different size of hollow.
The waffle structure are twisted along x-axis. It got a hollow stucture in inteior. It create a interor space for human to pass through.

Week Four
Laser Cutting
By unrolling the surface of the panel and exporting the curves of the waffle stucture, lines for laser cutting can be exported.
5
Week Five
Using scripting make the process of creating different iterations much more easy. As different iterations can be created by changing the numbers of points.

Week Five
Isometric
The solid are created by subtracting the octagons. The subtracted area created are level different of the celling and created are open space for light direct into the space. I think it can be an installation that can be place inside the waffle structure. The solid can act as a chhair or table.

Task 01 Matrix I have choose thhe last version of the surfaces. Because the two surfaces is like parallel to each other, the can create a uniform shape of the waffle structure. As the surfaces is parallel to each other, the created waffle structure is like twisting along x- axis. It can be a tunnel between two buildings, people can pass through it along the interior space of the waffle structure. Therefore, I created a hollow celling and a lot of openings on both of the panels.

Task 02 Matrix I have choose the last version to develop my idea. Because the last version create much more variable of size of octagon, that can create a signifucant pattern on the surface. It can act as in installation that can put in the interior space of the waffle stucture. The solid can be a chair that provide space for people to relax..
