Fall 2023 Product Families assignment

The Fall 2023 Product Families assignment can be found here! We’re trying a different format this year: a quicker design exercise (4 weeks) with an extended window for physical print delivery (by the end of the term) to allow students time to iterate with the printers on campus

20231001 | Assignment 01 – 2D Patterning | Fang-Ting Lee

For my 2D patterning project, I decided to create a modular wall with hexagon shaped pieces that can rotate at different angles. I adjusted the patterning and materiality of the different hexagon pieces to create the following 50 renderings.

My script consists of the following components :

  1. Hexagon grid (base)
  2. Parametric Rectangle Outer frame (calculated to wrap around the hexagon grid)
  3. Vertical Pipes (also based on hexagon grid)
  4. Hexagons (Rotate along vertical pipe, rotation angles, size, materials can all be adjusted)
  5. Hexagon Patterns
