12 Iterations AND 3D Print Model

Final Grasshoper Definition

Progress Update 3

Upon consultation with Jeremy I have refined my design to incorporate the initial ideas generated from my proposal report. Initially I found difficulties in finding the required grasshopper definition to create 3 towers that respond and deform dependent on attractor points located on plane x,y & z.

With the help from Jeremy I have altered the form to correspond to similar attractor points for each individual tower. See below images;

Creation of the panel to be morphed on surface

Progress Update 2

Initially I wanted to develop a skin that would be of light material and display a fluid motion molded onto the built form. However due to complexities in understanding of the grasshopper program and time constraints I have decided to create a voronoi diaphragm that is morphed on to the surface of the towers for the reasons of laser cutting or 3d printing to be completed in time. I have also experimented in creating 2 base towers that held a main residential form spanning all the way across as an alternative configuration.

Images below illustrate the morphing;

Progress Stage Update 1

1. Created a grid to show dimensions of site = 184 x 60.

2. Created Points where residential towers will evolve within constraints of the grid.

3. Utilised a cylinder object to deform and create towers.

4. From the 3 deformed towers and the base, I have created with the help of Stephen an attractor to reduce parts of the base form closest to the center point of the cylinder which resulted is as slopey base.
