Oscillation Building

Advertisement

The idea on the left came from visualizing half a sin wave due to my recent research on trigonometric equations. In my previous slide I have experimented with oscillations and created buildings from them. I have been inspired by oscillations and simple thought what if I rotated an oscillation 180 degrees, therefore producing a new structure. It's simple but effective.

When I started to visualize the building in 3 dimensions, I realized I don’t want to intertwine the buildings but rather produce a façade, when in reality separating the buildings. This does not change the buildings shape in the elevation plane, but it will in the three-dimensional plane.

The structure on the right was inspired by my favourite oscillation I created on the previous slide, but it's just a representation of how such a structure could be created in a model. The structure on the left is also an oscillation inspired from the previous slide but is just a visual representation of how such a structure could be created in a handheld model, when making it you had to produce a lot of support on the lower ends as that is what holds it in place, the model came out wonky due to all the weight accumulating at the bottom of the structure in the future I need to make it with better material and not paper. The procedure I took was cut stripes of paper and wrap it around my finger, layer after layer increase the size until 5 stripes have been produced.
