Week 01Week 01

Experimenting with lofting, I produced 3 iterations with different settings for the loft options, creating 3 surfaces which have different formal qualities from one another, varying from organic and fluid to more rigid and sharp forms.

Triangulating the surface created an almost virtual-landscape like shape.

Week 01Week 01

Using the same lofting algorithm on vertical curves resulted in some interesting shapes. The straight loft almost seems like a construct composed of segmented levels, while the curved loft resembles an object being twisted.

Week 01

These are several iterations of running a rectangular prism through the voronoi algorithm while changing the number of cells per point. Deleting certain cells resulted in the creation of a multi-surfaced arch; something which could almost be an installation in a public domain.

05

Week 02

Testing out smoothing with two sets of geometries. The smoothing process creates a sculpturesque object. Leaving the top and bottom ends of the base geometry open creates a hourglass-shaped object. This could become useful in exploring forms.

07

Using the same surface from week 01, I experimented with orienting geometries onto the surfaces.

The pattern created with the extruded hexagons are quite interesting, being reminiscent of a roof structure.

Week 02

This set of surfaces was created through extruding and intersecting curves with a base geometry. The resulting contouring effect creates an interesting aesthetic, almost resembling a ripple.
