Week 1

FIG 1: THREE SIMPLE CURVES DRAWN IN RHINO AND REFERENCED INTO GRASSHOPPER, LOFTED IN GRASSHOPPER. GRASSHOPPER DEFINITION BELOW

FIG 2: USING THE SAME DEFINITION, CONTROL POINTS IN RHINO ACTIVATED AND MANIPULATED TO ACHIEVE CHANGES TO THE LOFTED SURFACE

SKETCHBOOK 5

FIG 3:USING THE SAME DEFINITION, CONTROL POINTS IN RHINO ACTIVATED AND MANIPULATED TO ACHIEVE FURTHER CHANGES TO THE LOFTED SURFACE

FIG 4: USING THE ORIGINAL GRASSHOPPER DEFINITION, THE SURFACE WAS DIVIDED INTO POINTS AND A VORONOI 3D COMPONENT ADDED

6 SKETCHBOOK

Week 2

FIG. 1: ARC CONSTRUCTED FROM POINTS, DIVIDED ALONG A CURVE AND SURFACE LOFTED

FIGS. 2 & 3: SURFACE WAS THEN EVALUATED AND INPUT INTO THE GEODESIC COMPONENT TO ACHIEVE GEODESIC ARCS, AND THEN LOFTED. THIS WAS DONE IN BOTH THE X AND Y DIRECTIONS

FIGS 4 & 5: GRASSHOPPER DEFINITIONS FOR GEODESIC ARCS

SKETCHBOOK 7

FIGS. 6 TO 9: CONTOURS DERIVED FROM A SURFACE, MOVED ALONG A TRANSLATION VECTOR AND LOFTED. THE DIRECTION OF THE TRANSLATION VECTOR WAS ADJUSTED TO ACHIEVE THE DIFFERENT ITERATIONS. THE RANGE OF TRANSLATION VECTORS CAN BE SEEN IN THE GRASSHOPPER DEFINITION ABOVE
