DIGITAL DESIGN 3D PRINT FABRICATION

Parametric grasshopper techniques, 3d printed. Heavy masses can be seen supported by thin joins, creating gravitational illusions through the use of a cantilever. Clear thresholds have been defined through the define d edges of the mass. Compressive and open spaces can be seen throughout the shape as the Mass utilizes light to create a variance of space and function through the use of shadow and time. The cantilever provides shade and protection, whilst also connecting to the external spaces. The shape offers a variety of affordances for occupants.

Heavy masses supported by thin joins, plays with gravitational illusions to create cantilever

The solids left behind can be seen as massing

Mass utilizes light to create transient form through shadow

Complex geometry contrasted with smooth finish internal space created through geometry joins, creating areas of compression and enclosure thresholds developed by massing edges. created by cutting down original Boolean mass
