project_01: paneling

This project explores the use of the paneling tools plug-in for rhino as a means to digitally generate a surface structure as an aggregation of smaller units that can then be directly translated into a series of parts for physical assembly.

image_01: boundaries for surface construction

image_02: creation of hyperbolic surface

image_03: point array over surface domain

image_04: point array offset along z-axis

image_05: series of units constructed and attractor points selected

image_06: units arranged within array as a variable field defined by the two attractor points

image_07: individual units unrolled as flat surfaces for laser cutting and assembly

image_08: assembled surface structure

image_09: unit variability within model
