During this module we were introduced to the Grasshopper Parametric Add on in Rhino. Using this we experimented with waffling, paneling, and void shapes. As a result, 2 physical models were produced. The first being the laser cut waffle structure with folded panels on top. The second, a 3D printed shape void model. 

​

My intent for the first model is on one side looking at how the panels can form apertures that are different depending on the angle you approach the model, creating a dynamic visual relationship between the inside and outside. On the other side, its looking at how the panels can mimic and emphasize the curve of the waffle surface, therefore there are no apertures, but panels of various heights to create the illusion of movement.

​

The second model is looking at the transition between two shapes (a dodecahedron and a sphere), and the void shapes created by their intersection. When investigating the spatial qualities of the model I found that the light and shadows that entered the spaces took on distinct shapes based on the different shaped apertures. Furthermore, the middle space has the intersection of the dodecahedron and the sphere resulting in a mix of hard linear and curved spherical forms.
