Key Contributions
As part of a collaborative group project, I developed permutation and combination algorithms to explore innovative timber interlocking techniques, establishing design rules for creating stable structures. My role also involved integrating Unreal Engine to design an interactive voxel-based game, enabling multiple users to collaboratively customize their spatial configurations. Additionally, I made presentation video. I utilized Grasshopper scripting to automate design processes for timber interlocking patterns and produced V-Ray animations that visually demonstrate the assembly, disassembly, and manufacturing process.
