This modeled landscape is based on a national park in Tasmania. Using a 10 x 10 square grid, I created 4 different panels to create an curved surface mimicking the movement of the piece of land given to me. Using Rhino to construct the 3D, I used attractor points to vary the heights of each panel. Each panel was then unrolled and laser cut to be folded and assembled to complete the model. 

​

The placement of the panels is to imitate the movement of water over the curve of the land, pooling with heavier panels towards the bottom of the piece. This creates movement both of the land and on top of the land.
