This project was concentrated on the idea of pass through pavilion. Using Kangaroo to create a 4 openings to pass and experience an intimate space for people to have a quiet space.

---

The Opening’s X and Y direction can be changed: meaning the different width of the openings as well as how extreme the top’s openings can be.

---

I did change the BouncySolver to ZombieSolver for shapediver but it did give a very cool effect!

---

The overall structure contains two forms: one which is the skeleton and support of the pavilion, and the other one which is the skin of the form. Below are the different versions and combinations of colors between the skin and the skeleton.

Inspiration for Product Families

For this project, I wanted to create vases that contained voids so when you would place a small candle onto them, it would light up with different patterns.

I started this assignment by creating simple vases through curves that would morphed into one another. I could then used this in order to shift forms.

Using a base, I had populating modules using Voronoi (wanted to keep playing with Voronoi script within my objects from my assignment 01). I then projected the pattern to the different vases.

My final project’s grasshopper script

100 variations of the different forms of vases

Once I create my 5 vases, I used the plug-in Human to be able to create light sources. This allowed for the my vases’ patterns to be reflected onto different surfaces to project how the products would work in real life.

Below the individual products and its effect with the lights. Last image i all of them together!

For my 2D Patterning experimentation, I wanted two different mechanisms to work together in which, modules would interact with one another.

When I first started to explore, I began with three different modules that could morph into one as you moved up and down. The final product for that experiment can be shown below with the shapediver QR code.

While I do like this, and it did teach me how to interact with different modules together like I wanted to. This grasshopper was more of a happy accident. To continue, I wanted a to just interact with 2 different modules that can have the similar forms. That when I learned about voronoi (Also because of other students’ projectss :p)

I wanted an intersection line that can change size and move throughout the plane, interacting with the second module.

To make my GIF, I interacted with the different toggles to shift the movement of the void, the size of the curve that cut through pattern A1, and how much did I want to populate the base (and the void).

Here are the individual takes and patterns that I played with.

Here are some AR pictures I took: I think it is a cool experience when you point it to the ceiling instead of the floor :)

Here is my final project shapediver’s QR Code to try it!
