Starting with a twisted box for interesting geometry then mapping boxes to that surface. Then creat-ing a curve faces from the intersec-tion of those box surfaces from an offset surface which radiates at 45 0 from center. Extruding those surfaces back to make them solid surfaces again leaves an interest-ing result of the starting twisted box.

Some of the surfaces generated were not generated for some reason, leaving large patches in the bake that were empty

I was trying to create a staircase from a klein surface base. However I was unable to resolve the line work to generate sur-

faces.

These were all generated from the same definition working with polar offset points and interpolating a curve between them. More logical patterns were generated from multiples of 11

This simple operation on a script function with differ-ent number variables can simulate a branching tree at different instances.

This formed the basis of most of my work in prototyping and Part C. This script takes a geometry and aligns it to surface panels generated on a surface formed from 2 curves. It allows for rational and scale con-trol of the geometry on each plane so there is a good amount of control. This was very useful in manoeuvering panels and aligning them to see results

This was an attempt at generating the base surface for the dome structure we were trying to create in Part C. The structure is anchoring to cor-ner points and using Kangaroo Physics to let the dome settle on an optimum form. We eventually learnt that our material (the spokes) was forming a natural curve anyway so generating an ideal form was not necessary.

The result made here was a mesh out of triangular faces, looking like a lightweight cavern, it was still unsuccessful however as there was no way to generate the desired deformed pyramid geom-etry on its surface.
