Digital-Explanation-Profies Digital-Explanation_Form-Creation

This family of objects is the end result of an exploration in digital  form-making. My partner and I explored the way Grasshopper interprets a given input and the formal possibilities within that interpretation.

In short, when given a curve as input, the variable number of sample points used to reinterpret this input creates a spectrum of different curves which approach the original as sample points increase.

From this spectrum, we algorithmically  selected curves to arrive at 4 profiles for each of 6 objects. To create the objects, we treated these curves as the profiles of a revolve.

This exploration continued as we sought to express our concept through means of fabrication. See Part 2 Final Forms_render 4 glossy
