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 find yours very interesting. There is an immediate undertsanding the forks can be easily assembled, no matter how much each one had been modified. A great, cheap, easy to repeat design machine.
ReplyDeleteConmsidering the lightness of the physical model it seam quit structurally sound.
ReplyDeleteThis project is pretty interesting. The use of the forks and the manipulations made add character to the overall design. The form itself is intense. Utilizing the force of boiling water appears to have created different affects to the forks. An interesting algorithmic sequence.
ReplyDeleteI think the more interesting idea to be looking at are the shadows created by the forks. The images offer an interesting idea about how shadow can be manipulated.
ReplyDeleteTne unit itself it's very simple, but I like how applying a certain amuont of heat deforms it differently each time. It seems like the deformatin happens only in one plane axis which makes the whole thing quite more interesting. Great job.
ReplyDeleteEach piece is different because of human element of how they were made. Its beautiful!
