Design Computing and Digital Fabrication
Wentworth Institute of Technology
Department of Architecture
Fall 2009
This course will focus on designing and constructing algorithms, in both analogue and digital forms, to explore potential design solutions. Students will learn to use scripting as a tool: for solving specific problems, and for generating un/predictable results. Laser cutting and 3d printing will be the primary prototyping tools used for translating digital design information into physical models. Theoretical and pragmatic approaches will be interwoven throughout the course. Rhino will serve as the primary platform for modeling, scripting, and preparing fabrication geometry.

This design machine interests me in the fact that the process shows a disintegration of the object through the operation performed. The tower's composition emphasizes this process by looking as though the material melted from the top creates the solid cups at the bottom.
ReplyDeleteI admire how your rhino model and physical model work off each other. Each model benefits from the other instead of having the digital model only be a rendering of what exists.
ReplyDeleteThis particular design machine is really interesting because there was a rigorous set of rules. The bottom cups are the less melted, and the further up you go, the cups have been melted longer. I really appreciate how the top cup has started to burn, showing a proper end to the algorithm (the algorithm could not go any higher.)
