Hear is a sample of our geometric patterns in full scale.

Here are some pictures of our group putting together the 1/4″ scale model of our project. After we put it together it seems that is not holding by it self and we had to tape the bottom parts to the table. We are going to address this fact in class to discuses how we are going to fix it.

Here we are looking for a shape that could work for our mesh of our “form found”. It came from the hexagon shape and cutting out the triangular corners. It has the organic shape that could help us with our form. On the back it has the taps for the connections. Is still in process, but is something to consider.

The form finding parametric project presented is the creation of different ideas collected in our group. When we brought together our ideas we end up generating an enclosed space where in one point of the installation is upright from the floor and other points are suspended from the ceiling. The first shape created simulates a canopy allowing the spectator an underneath seating experience. The second shape created, the canopy is modified to create a more enclose area using arc shapes and creating a center hole experience for the spectator. The second shape is situated on the corner of the room and two of the arch openings are attach to the walls to enclose and create a cave experience. The third shape delivers from the second shape using the arch forms and cave experience. This shape is altered and modified to form two arch openings, one is located on the wall and the other one is the entrance of the parametric cave. We also created a hexagonal patter to apply to our form found surface. Each hexagonal shape will have different sizes and each orientation will be rotated. The goal is to create a gradation of cut-out sizes using an attractor point and randomized the rotation pattern. The union of the hexagonal patter and the shape of our installation will create a playful light and shadows enclose experience to the spectator.

Here are some ideas for the location and form for the canopy. The main idea is to create the canopy by tension in some points and other points let them loosely to create waves.

This is one of the ideas of our group. Here is shown how the canopy can simulate waves by hanging some specific points and let other points to drape down. This way by having the surface with openings of different sizes it will allow us to create underneath different shadows.

Here we wanted to show a suspended ceiling installation simulating a cocoon. We want to create a feeling of enclosure in space.

Here are some ideas for the Form Found Project for my group. Tomorrow in class we will present the combination of all of our ideas.

I continue the Truss Assignment on the Offset Curves by Distance to Attractor Point, but I don’t think it suppose to look like this? (the is no void in the middle of the triangle) I unhidden all the parameters and hide them one by one but still can figure out what is wrong?

Here is my development of the Truss Assignment. First, the truss demo is different from the file that we got on class. I try to change the process of Grasshopper so it looks the same to the demo. But for some reason I don’t understand why the Rhino projection of the inside triangle are not in a void, it looks that is a complete surface instead?? Can some one help and tell me what I did wrong?
