ITERATION 2.0
Iteration 2.0 uses a Copenhagen wind data map from the month of March 2014 as a base curve for this 'graph controller' sketch. Iteration 2.0 addresses the brief in the same way that iteration 1.0 uses wind data to create a design that connects to the site, the need for an energy production to influence and be a factor of design. It may potentially use kinetic energy by collecting travelling wind through openings in its curvilinear form and using that wind to generate a power source. The interesting shapely form communicates the potential for a structure that could work in a range of ways, such as a system of dispersed pods or as a single homogenous form, therefore, making this iteration flexible to build ideas upon. If fabricated,tests may be conducted to see how different wind pressures would flow in and around the sculpture. To explore how iteration 2.0 could be fabricated the form was adjusted through the grasshopper definition. By using an interpolate curve, lofting, setting the loft to a brep, then adding a mesh and lists, the original form was transferred into a surface that has potential to be unrolled into sections/strips, successfully sent throto Fab Lab, and constructed in a manageable and logical manner.
