Part A- Introduction W1- Vase Design W2- Pavilion

Vase 1 - I Began with a basic design in grasshopper by applying 4 circles and ex-truding them to diffferent heights then applying the loft command.

Vase 2- For this strategy i used a polygon command with 6 sides (Hexagon)and inserted a stack effect then applied a divider that created a sequence of the same shape.

Vase 3- For this strategy I used 2 cirles and connected them wiht the use of a shift list command that created a diagonal connection between the vertically distanced circles.

Vase 4- For this strategy i used a variation of curves and slider options altering

the radius and height of the vase.

Vase 5- For the final strategy i used a variety of ploygon shapes ranging from 3 sided to a 7 sided ploygon through the manipulation of the number slider to obtain differ-etn stacks and radius sizes.

Week 2

Pavilion

This week’s task was to cre-ate a 20*20m pavilion in Merri Creek, that responds to changing chracteristics. This was obtained by using Rhino and Grasshop-per through the attractor field with the change being of natural causes (e.g. sound). Once the first pavlion was made three material applications were added in grass-hoper, by the use of a weaverbird plugin. As a result 3 different fin-ishes were observed as seen be-low.

Side Task -Data Trees

This week’s side task was to make a data tree and explore the pos-sible variations possible through the use of a short list, long list, and cross reference. The diagrams above show a mixture of short, long and cross referenced lists.

All 3 types

These diagrams show the implimentation of the short list com-mand on the data tree.
