assignment 02 - from flat to form

The assignment is to drive 3D form from 2D constraints. Variations in the geometry are controlled by a rotational circle in the center. Distance between this circle and the perimeter box drive the height of the up-folded members.  A standard unit is modeling in real life to study aggregation potentials and drive future iterations.



Ideally, this unit will be copied across a surface and be driven by global attractor parameters. The ambition is develop a set of completely unique panels, each with an ID, unrolled, and ready to be fabricated. Additionally, I hope to work in more complexity to the geometry as the semester progresses, including material thickness compensation as well as attachment points for bolting the aluminum panels to an underlying steel structure.
