In Development

Below are images for a project in development. I have used grasshopper in Rhino to create a weave generator tool that can be applied to any surface. As of now the pattern consists of a simple over and under logic but can be updated to allow for different methods of woven structures.

origami surface

This builds on the last screen exercise. The grasshopper definition generates a folded surface consisting of planar pieces with local hinge connections. A dynamic cut sheet is also generated to allow for easy transition to fabrication. By changing the distance and position of vertices between the two control surfaces, I can create a screen of variable depth and directionality. I am hoping this can become part of a deployable system that can rationalize complex surfaces into easily fabricated and installable structures.
