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.

I can see that you put alot of effort into making sure that each series is manipulated slightly differently from the one before (more bent around the steel ball). I still question, however, how these could be assembled into a whole that meets the 10" minimum height requirement.
ReplyDeletegreat design, each time the metal is bent you can start to see the form of the ball. Over the course of the process the ball really takes shape
ReplyDeleteI like the process you used to manipulate each unit. Each unit is uniquely different. I wish all the units could have come together though. But in all nice project.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very interesting design machine. I wonder how the mesh and metal would be affected if you used different size balls?

ReplyDeleteThis is a great way to introduce change to each object and how they are effected by different forces
