Elk 2.0 Tutorial
Similar to the software ArcGIS, Elk reads OSM data (Openstreetmap) and displays information on selected cities. OSM data can be downloaded by cropping a region and exporting. The downloaded OSM is read by information type. Selecting one data type allows further selection of subgroups. Example: Selecting the type...
Shading Structure Prototyping
The previous solar shading device was adapted into a pavilion, requiring its own form and spatial definition. Switching to enclosed reference curves allowed the shading structure to morph into a more spherical shape. The lofted shape was exploded and broken down into triangular panels. The edges of these...
Solar Shading Progress
The solar shading device is constructed using steel framing and canvas (light malleable materials). The design relies on solar apertures that open and close depending on solar positioning. The original concept utilizes bird-like motifs for the apertures – folding, fluttering to shade or expose the building. The current...
Lantern
The images above are several shots of in-process and completed lantern. Despite several obstacles in assembling the lantern, the overall process was persistently enjoyable and rewarding. The main issue with building the physical model resulted from the chosen material’s rigidity, and lack of area for units to connect...
Light Modulation
These paper and digital explorations helped me develop the lantern further. Transferring the forms generated from the paper and preliminary rhino designs proved challenging. Paper experiments continue to prove beneficial, with the added benefit of guidance from the “paper folding techniques for designers” book. The grasshopper plug-in lunch-box...
