assignment 08 - powercopy knowledgeware


Concept rendering derived from multiple intersecting instances of the randomly generated array. Multiple instances of the randomly generated array yields interesting intersections and spatial configurations. Here visitors gather around a bonfire inside the desert pavilion.


This powercopy makes use of a random number generation excel spreadsheet to control panel variation. A multi-section surface between three lines creates the fabric-like facets seen above. The middle curve of the multi-section surface operation is variable through a user-defined ratio parameter between the three curves, and is controlled through the design table / excel random number generation. Additionally, this middle curve is also extended by a global parameter acting as a weight / influence. The most tame condition is seen in the retracted state, while the highest is seen in the most vibrant state (values between .01 and .5...  anything higher than .5 precludes the functionality of the multi-section surface). Imagine sun shading panels for a building facade or a small pavilion.
