Task 9 -

The above description defines the geometry to be laser cut.

The above description is a waffle description that was created by Victor Leung and posted on Grasshopper3d.com's forum. the post title is "A solid waffle for laser cutting."

What I try to emulate with this Grasshopper description is the form of a fish. Base on the sculpture in Barcelona (1992) by Frank Gehry and his Fish Dance building in Kobe, Japan.

The base for this description is the parametric tower I used for the 1st assignment. By removing the last few components and adding addition rotating and scale components I can manipulate the shape and size of the geometry. Using number sliders in Grasshopper is rather restrictive in terms of controlling the overall shape and the way scaling works, so I have opted to use the graphmapper component to achieve the curves.
This geometry will serve as the base for further experiments for the 3rd assignment. The experiments will mainly focus on the facade/cladding that will be applied to the geometry.
