ALGORITHMIC STUDIO AIR SKETCHBOOK ZIKAI WANG
week 1 The idea behind my cup is a circle and a star shape lofted together. The star is the result of a boolean difference operation with triangles along its perimeter. The spacing and size of these triangles for a degree of variation.
week 2 The star motif for this Islamic-inspired modular wall is created from arcs between polygon vertices.
The extruded star shape is subtracted from a cube, and using the twisted box tool, the result is mapped to a gridded surface.
The resulting modular wall was rotated using the series component.
The below shows the various star shapes that can be produced from polygons of 3, 6, 7 and 8 sides.
