Assignment 3 Introduction

After the two assignments, the concepts developed from ‘fence’ to living organic vine where the architectural elements are shaped with the language such as path and wave which imitates the nature. After all, a strong directional movement is created emerging from the ground pointing to the sky like a stylized stem. The surface of it is just like a boundary which comes with entrance at the base and exit at the top or vice versa connecting the building.

For the modeling techniques, to simulate the wavy natural curvilinearity, NURBS are used extensively with modifier such as ‘twist’ and ‘FFD’. Moreover, ‘path deform’ is applied to the vine shaping the building which allows easier control of the movement. To define the boundary(façade), boolean operations take place to create insets and break down the massive piece of it.
