The process of triaxial weaving illustrated Different variations of the component, controlled by the parameters in grasshopper. Image showing the component applied on a surface. The division/ application on the surface can be varied parametrically using law curves. The variations on the surface illustrated Photographs of the weaving pattern tried with 1″ wide strips of [...]
The method of construction of triaxial weave: ‘Sparse triaxial weaving uses three sets of parallel fibres, known as the warp, the whug and the weft. The whug is not present in conventional rectangular weaving. During construction it acts very much like a second warp. The warp can be laid down in simple parallel lines. The [...]
I feel this is a parametric form more suitable for the technique used.
Some improved images of table design mentioned in http://blog.asd-ddrs.org/deepthivijaykumar/2009/12/09/parametric-table/ Jonas mentioned that I need to improve my graphics – suggestions pls!
As suggested by Jonas, I was trying out designs for a table, using the aforementioned pattern. I did try to make it completely parametric, but the file gets really heavy and crashes [tried on a couple of systems]. So I had to go back to the method used in previous posts. A trial having 3supports. [...]
A concept for pavilion… Still need to develop a lot further – but at this stage itself, a message pops up saying ‘out of memory, will close now’…!?!?
Just abusing the newly discovered tool – VRay for Rhino The actual coponent is a rhino model, but I have applied it onto the surfaces using grasshopper – ‘semi-parametric’ if you will!
