As a consultant the responsibility was to come up with such a script in
grasshopper that when used it takes just a modulated surface as an input.
The script generates the final design with a few flexible variables and also unrolls
each and every piece with their particular tags.
3d printing not being an option , the complete dependency was on laser cutting.
Each installation consisted of almost 100 geometries and each geometry consisted of 36 pieces.
Thus 3600 pieces for each installation was suppose to be unrolled and tagged to get
the laser cutting done.
A single geometry. Profile is of Hexagon.
For tagging purpose all the pieces were given a particular name, to make it manageable in layers.
There are - main surfaces, upper surfaces, internal connectors, overlapping connectors. and triangles.
The range was of hexagons,
Chart explaining the order of tagging.
Diagram explaining the order of tagging.
First layer. Installation made out of mdf.
Second layer : A layer of putty applied onto it.
Final Output : Artists from the regional parts of India creating motifs and patterns on the structure.
Position : Computational consultant. Responsive facade.
Office : Open Ideas.
Site Location : Residence in Surat, Gujarat, India
As a consultant on the facade, the responsibility was to come up with an
interesting hexagonal composition for the coverings on the walkway and
the upper volume, which was achieved by a logic of point attractor
callibrated with the directions of sunlight.
After a lot of iterations with mdf models.
This prototype was made with MS sheet, to understand the mechanism better.
This movement is suppose to be controlled by a light based sensor through an arduino board for this prototype.
Later a circuit board with more strength is suppose to be made.
The facade on the central volume was finalised to be a controlled facade with arduino based mechanism. which opens and closes alongwith the movement of sun.
