Experimenting with Variable 3D Pattern
Custom Variable with Point Attractors outside of the grid.
Custom Variable with Point Attractors on the corners of the grid.
Custom Variable with Curve Attractor.
Final Model
The use of one point attractor and five different modules creates a flow between the modules which can be percieved as symmetrical and balanced. It is inspired by the coral reaf and how it flows in the water, moving in different sections and directions.
Unrolling Shapes in Rhino to Create Templates
Final unrolled modules.
Prototypes of folding panels.
Process
Prototypes unrolled, printed and ready to cut.
Decided on five different modules that work best with my terrain.
Carefully assembling and gluing the modules together.
Final Model
Perspective photograph to show the way the terrain folds, and how the different modules interact with each other to create the “wavey” flow of movement.
Second perspective photograph to show the back of the terrain.
Angled view to show texture and shadows.
