WEEK 1 Attractor point + Extrude

STEPS: RECTANGULAR GRID | CIRCLE (SHAPE) | POINT | DISTANCE | MATHEMATICS

VARIATIONS: - RELOCATING POINT - REDEFINING VALUES - REDEFINING RADIUS AND SHAPES - MATHEMATICAL DEVICES


NOTES: Other than parametric volumes, the algorithmic definitions can produce interesting patterns too. The red lines captured from plan view illustrate this and these could potentially be employed into a design scheme as well.


WEEK 2 Multiple attractor points + Loft

STEPS: RECTANGULAR GRID - ATTRACTOR POINTS - DISTANCE - MATHEMATICS - INTERPOLATE CURVE - LOFT


VARIATIONS: RELOCATING POINTS / REDIFINING VALUES / REDIFINING CURVE DEGREE / MATHEMATICAL DEVICES


WEEK 3 Controlling collection

STEPS: CURVE / SERIES / OFFSET | PERPENDICULAR FRAMES | LINE / POINTS / VECTOR | VECTOR ROTATION / AMPLITUDE | DECONSTRUCT / CONSTRUCT / ARC | MERGE / LOFT / GRAFT / SIMPLIFY

VARIATIONS: - REDEFINING VALUES - MATHEMATICAL DEVICES - ATTRACTOR POINTS - ROTATION


NOTES: Patterned forms are easily varied and achieved via this series of algorithms. Desired shapes can be manipulated by relocating points on curves or by introducing attractor points. Overlapping modules could be transformed into interlocking elements and then fabricated into a selfsupporting structure.
