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 think your project is really creative, I found it amusing that you chose to use crayons. Did you try stacking them to meet the 10"? I think it would have been really interesting to see. But awesome job, it looks like fun!
ReplyDeletePretty interesting project. I honestly thought the crayons were balloons. Maybe the use of different balloons, or the insertion of these balloons into some form to make the balloons conform to make a final shape... a 3d puzzle in a sense.
ReplyDeleteI really like the materials used. The way the crayon held the shape of the balloon and conformed to the wrinkles created a nice texture.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jillian, this project came out very cool and it would have been great if they were stacked and molded to each other vertically and not just horizontally.
interesting choice in materials, it would be nice to see multiple layers of this machine placed on top of eachother to create more height and more morphing of the balloon shapes.
