We decided that out of all the entrances the interior design floor has, the least attention is given to the bathrooms, an area with a lot of traffic flow.So we are designing a nicer entrance and exit to the lavatory. Our main issue right now is being able to select the mesh rather than the negative space the holes leave.
with an option of having 3 openings..
This diagram is an image that Alex & I have discussed about before Spring Break– we imagined the “movement” we spoke about previously to be captured and shown through this project. The image represents iterations of what we spoke of.
We started with the form, with the idea of the skin being suspended from the ceiling and attached to the wall/door. I created the basic skeleton of curves in Rhino and took it to grasshopper to loft > mesh > weaverbird. But Ben’s idea of a free standing form, during the class discussion, was interesting and cool and we are working on it. 
Group- Myself and Ajitha.
I came up with this idea of a Parametric Threshold- A THRESHOLD THAT DEFINES THE MOMENT OF TRANSITION. Ajitha’s idea was of parametric skin light clusters. After the class discussion we zeroed down on the Threshold idea.
My inspiration for the pattern on the skin was from the traditional Indian ‘Jali’ system- Latticed screen, usually with an ornamental pattern constructed through the use of calligraphy and geometry. Extensively used in Indian and Mughal Architecture. 
I started on working out the parametric trusses with what we did in class and the help of the tutorial . The grasshopper program worked with simple offsetting, filleting and creating the planar surface. But once i started working with the attractor point and area… Boom! The program doesn work.
