Task 1 Using grasshopper loft create a suite of drawing exploring a surface that wraps around a part of h

The grasshopper used to create the wraps

1 set showing 5 versions of lofting with 2 curves.

The purpose of this wrap is to hide the facial expressions. So during the refining process, the wrap becomes more organic (So more suitable for humans face).

At beginning, the five sense organs is hidden, then slight adjustments are applied so that the user can see, can breath can hear and can speak. The purpose of hide the facial expressions is for the time when people want to relax, in other words, they do not give too much reactions to the outside world, it can keep humanity.

The grasshopper used to create the wraps with 3 curves.

1 set showing 5 versions of lofting with 3 curves.

Rotate the line from vertical / horizontal The purpose of this wrap is to keep personal space so people wear this wrap ( can wear it sleep) and the surrounding space cannot be approached. So for the five versions, at beginning is really simple; for version 2 to version 3 i tried to make it more soft (Which suit for human body) and make it more wearable ( it can sit on user’s shoulder).However, it too complicate so it is simplified in next version. For version 4 to version 5 it shows that the wrap can be folded; so users face is not hidden; therefore it really convenient for user to decide hide face or not.

The grasshopper used to create the wraps with 4 curves.

1 set showing 5 versions of lofting with 4 curves.

The purpose of this is to test a changeable wrap for head so that people can enjoy silent in this small space. For version 1 quick test for lofting between 4 curves. As 2 to 5 version shows that the process of wrap cover the entire head.

The reason why curve used is that to provide more space for user to breathe so that it become more comfortable.

Task 2 Experiment with 3 triangulation tools as per the tutorials.

The grasshopper used to create 3D Voronoi.

8

3D Voronoi

Once 3D geometry has been created in Grasshopper, the baked in the Rhino model is divide into cells therefore it is possible to adjusted each one can create complex and interesting geometries. For me it can works for pavilions, it easy to create a shelter and intertsing space

Surfaces 1 Use box Morph to array the geometry to the lofting surface

6 KPI’S Safety: can it ensure the safety of the users Comfortability: is comfortable? like soft? worm?

Appearance: is it good looking? look cute? cool?

Wearablity : can user to be easy to wear it without drop from body Flexibility: can user wear it can still conduct other activities) Fabrication Possibility: is it easy to fabricate?
