4 WEEK 1: SWEEPING & Lofting triangulating 2d surfaces triangulating 3d objects

contents

lofting, sweeping, triangulatingweek [one]

Lofted State One: - Floating roof like structure- Fluid/No sharp edges- Could be further developed into a shelter/canopy etc.- Spatially quite sheltered and protected..

Lofted State Two: - Open and more inviting than Lofted State One- Folding edge rising upwards on left side juxtaposes and balances the downward reaching angle on the right side. - Explores balance

Lofted State Three: - Could be like a suspended bridge structure- Tensile- Dark corridors/open breezy pathways- Peaks vs. Troughs

Lofted State Four - Sculptural- Main peak/Focus of attention- Explores shadowing/exposure

Lofted State Five - Horizontal/Vertical focus and the contrast between the two- Soft arch, could be a ‘gateway’- Disguising/Opening viewports- Controlling scenery and controlling movement throughout a space with open and closed areas

Lofted StateSix - Explores folding and the shading that occurs from this.- Tensile structure through elements that reach the ground- Could be an exhibition space, large open space in the centre with a canopy overhead.

OcTree Ramp - Looks like a floor plan or master plan layout- Used to create variation in square/rectangle

Voranoi Triangulation of Rectangle - Ability to generate random shapes- Ability to cut out shapes to create entrances etc.- Light and Shade- Massing

Triangulation Irregular Surfaces - Creating a geometric pattern to transform a fluid lofted surface to a geometric one- Patterning- Regular equilateral triangles

understanding geometry, transformations and itnersections

EVALUATING FIELDS

original algorithmic definition

EVALUATING FIELDSTaking one divided element from

the original Biothing Pavillion and pushing the limits of the

spin curve components.

Changing the graph type also changed the patterning of the lines

Graph Controllers

Taking a singular curve from series 1.

Voronoi surface, scale voronoi to create two curves for each shape

Apply unary force in Z direction to points in the middle of shapes

Failed “pressure’ force

Fixing failed ‘pressure’ force

Varying the pressure of forces and the length

voissoir cloud

Stopping the toggle before the force has completed to get a reduced shape

Removing sections of voronoi to create a holed surface

Using less force and less length

Removing all holes and decreasing the radius of the second voronoi

Using Weaverbird Loop

week [seven]

voissoir cloud

Combine with Weaverbird inner polygon subdivision

Turn off other meshes, leaving only the inner polygon

Combining the catenary curved mesh with the base mesh to create an enclosed shape.

Weavebird Loop

Culling naked points

Decrease culling of naked points, increase pressure

Pressure component on mesh with Vorronoi

Loft between the two

Culling patterns to release side of pavilion

Decrease rest length of it.1. Add anchor points in the middle

of the mesh on the ground

Weaverbird Catmull-Clark Subdivision

Triangulate mesh

Pressure component

Culling pattern of points on mesh to true, false, true, false
