Further Development

Developing the same concept of a melting structure, i took the advice from tutors and and the shape of the structure follow an interpolated curve which was made using the series node. By moving the curve on a graph-mapper, the curve of the line can be altered which in turn alters the shape of the structure. This not only develops much more interesting shapes, but also gives the user much more control over the final shape of the structure by only having to move a few sliders/graph mappers

The above image shows the development from the previous submission. I have also added a hexagonal pattern to the entire structure to add another element to the overall appearance.

Assignment 3 Progress

Having chosen Surface Architecture and Salvador Dali as my two inspirations, I have decided to make a pavilion-type structure that captures the abstract qualities of Dali's artworks. Drawing main inspiration from his famous artwork 'Persistence in Memory' i have tried to create a structure that has the effect of melting on itself (like the clocks in the artwork)

The final Tier 2 submission for Assignment 2 showed the development of this idea.

The general concept can be seen in the structure above, however this model lacks interactivity and is fairly rigid (in the sense that moving sliders in grasshopper doesn't provide interesting/different iterations)
