Parametrics

Final Presentation

Group Members: Junyu Cao, Wanting She and Qiao Ding

We have started to assemble tesseracts.  1/32″ chipboard is more rigid (not flexible) than we expected..

Here are photos of our CNC milled test.  Still a work in progress!

My napkin rings have arrived from Shapeways.  Below are a few quick snapshots.  They were printed in white and metallic plastic.  More pics to follow!

Screen Presentation

Finally figured out how to apply an attractor curve on the tesseract screen..

Museum of Sound –  Interior Design Studio

Louvres – curve attractor to manipulate the angle of the louvres and point attractor attractor to manipulate the opening rotations.

Resonating ceiling – Delauney triangulation and the edges that hold them are “pipe”-d. Simple but effective

Wall – Cull pattern!

Divide curve -> Orient (shape) -> Rotate (about the central axis)

My screen is still in progress!  I originally wanted to create a wall surface with triangular openings similar to the images and sketches below, however, I was having a difficult time achieving that result.  Instead, below is what I currently have along with the definition.  I created a panel of triangles, offset them, and subdivided each triangle into more triangles. I will keep trying to see if I can get to the original design intent and post my progress.
