Concept&Description

I decided to make a vessel for a pine cone I have.

The repetition of geometry is the crucial characteristic of the pine cone in terms of form. The form is derived from the first assignment which mimic the pine cone. The final prototype abandoned some of those similarity and represent it in a more abstract way. The pine cone is supposed to sit on top of vessel.

The main goal is to experiment with different patterns to mimic the form of blossom. And eventually creates a flower vessel.

Steps:

1. Create two curves on Rhino, open grasshopper
2. Drag two curves blocks from “parameter”
3. Set two curves blocks on curve.
4. Drag Resolve surface, connecting to the curves
5. Drag Hexagon block from “Panel”
6. Drag two number sliders.
7. Set one number slider to 5, another to 6
8. Connecting 5 to U, 6 to V
9. Drag “Preview”
10. Bake
