view of positive

view of mold that considers connection, and room for rebar, also consits of more reasonably scaled voids.

this iteration details the use of the 2 inch foam. bases, and pour direction have been designed into this mold. having trouble modeling the positve. this iterion has the movement and aggression the halfscale pour lacked. the tooling would be in the direction of the patterning, also this method allows the wall to be turn in any direction.

B+E>>proj 04 [iteration 05]

This iteration is done with the idea again of 'tiling', except the whole piece is meant to become a tile. We assembled a series of curves and swept them; those were then copied and rotated 90 on the other side to create intersections with the paired forms.

B+E>>proj04_004[iteration04]

after meeting with curt during class, we refined some of the iterations we had contributed. after seeing the more voidal approach curt used, i changed my procedural logic. instead of focusing on the random occurances of voids, i synchronized my profile curves to plan for areas of voids. as seen above, the planned iteration not only acheives the movement of the initial iterations, but also creates planned moments where the two molds will interact to create voids.Thickness of the mold is now the next thing to overcome, as of now there are few moments(if any) were the wall is 3" thick. since the stock will be 2" or more for the foam, a planned area of over 2" should be used instead of a default 3"(1.5" for each half of the mold).

ELEAZER>>proj04_003[iteration03]

this iteration takes into account the disturbance by combing ideas one and two. this account creates the moire by causeing interuptions accross two axis.

ELEAZER>>proj04_002[iteration02]

this iterations follows the same logic as the first but with the frequencies follwing a more horizontal motion.

ELEAZER>>proj04_001[iteration01]

This iteration deals with a similar frequency effect. the same patterning but with slight differences to create the overlapping moments

BERG>>proj 04_003 [iteration 02]

This is the second edition, where I pushed and pulled the control points and tiled them 2x2 on one side, and 3x3 on the other side. I then set them in towards the center of the pour 1/2" and cut off the peaks and valleys that protruded past the 3" envelope. Still having a little trouple subtracting the differences bewtween the two facing polysurfaces. 'Split' works to an extent, but not completely.

BERG>>proj 04_002 [iteration 01]

This is the first stab at the MOIRE. Essentially I am creating two contoured sides with similar contours that have a "sweep2" command applied. Having some troubles 'subtracting' the two polysurfaces where they are overlapping, i.e., creating gaps in the solid pour.

Blog is up . . .

The DMP blog is now up and running, and will need a few modifications in the next day or so for fine tuning. We are planning to post individual efforts by the start of class on Thursday, and collaborate during class to post our combined efforts by the end of the period.
