MINIMAL SURFACES

For the privacy screen assignment I’m interested in using minimal surface forms. I’m more so interested in the shape of the privacy screen itself rather than the pattern produced within the screen. I’m trying to get inspiration from the triply periodic minimal surfaces as well as some organic handmade models. I’m not too sure how this is going to work but I’m going to look at some kangaroo and pufferfish tutorials and see if there is a way to create parametric minimal surface meshes.

This is the 1st iteration of Privacy Screen Project. Apparently, it looks a little more organic than the precedents I’ve found from the previous post, therefore I should consider going back to more fundamental geometric shapes to make the output look more relevant to those studies.

The next step will also involve manipulating data to confer asymmetrical qualities to the screen.

Shapediver was not working for some reason. As much as this project relies heavily on it, it should be resolved as soon as possible.
