grasshopper contour tool

Below are images of a project I have been developing at work to create a sectioning tool with the rhino plugin grasshopper. The model generates a contoured model of any object with the grain of the contours determined by a control line. Gaps between contours are also part of the model logic.

3D DEVELOPMENT

These latest series of renderings have attempted to incorporate our graphic strategy into three dimensional representation. Each of these "exhibits" attempts to recreate the sensory experience created when immersed in a museum atmosphere. Each exhibit attempts to condense a hyper real condition within a finite space through layering and composition of several 2d representations of 3d space. This style of representation was born out of the biological forms from earlier this semester which were derived from fungal and amphibious precedents. Each species is here shown in its natural environment as opposed to within the indexical vacuum of taxonomy.

Parana Redefined

Landscape cells have now eaten away at the landscape, creating a new system of canals, pools, and islands.
