Week 2 Algorithmic Sketchbook

Task set by tutors: Wind speed and direction of wind for Copenhagen was used as the data set to develop points. The data collected was set to 3 parameters. Theses being months (the first six months) which was set to the X coordinate, average wind speed to Y and average wind calm to the Z coor-dinate. The figures then generated points which I then lofted. This task proved to be very useful in practicing generating design using data analysis.

To experiment on the methods introduced in the Creating Gridshells video, I made my own curves which I then divided and inserted a geodesic curve component through to produce a gridshell which I then played around with the parameters to see its outcome.

Patterning ListsA pattern was created by a surface which I divided into cells with the voronoi component. Then I played around with the parameters and made my own cus-tom pattern.
