Design Process – Iterations
In terms of design, we aimed to design curvature, not just along the vertical faces of the panels, but along the horizontal planes as well to add more dimension to the structure. Our goal was to create curvature in both dimensions for a more dynamic structure, which we iterated upon below.
Final Design
Our Final Design is a structure comprised of three elements. The main panels, with curvature in both horizontal and vertical directions, as well as the supporting structural elements. Dowels running through the main panels, and a base board for holding everything upright. Vertical panels run through and lodge themselves within the base board for further support.

Full Grasshopper Definition
The full script is organized into five major components. The script for the main panels, pipes, base, fabrication drawings and animation, with the full geometry highlighted in purple as well.

Fabrication Drawings
Fabrication Drawings are constructed in order to show how the main panels of the design can be made using the cnc. Curvature of the exterior lines of the main panels are captured as well as the spaces where dowels are running through them for post cnc assembly.
