![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgFitNR8_mr9YSVYPGy4h0Q6OaulbBap6A611rbXene5mcGmjlRcn5_VWL7qppBTCw5C_p4g55d2P61ndZQVJ1LE7U77aY9tbiyicuA9StSW5q3VqbWyF_BiFfJy0P2WeThi-kj602toU/s320/parametricdefinition.png)
The other part of this definition is the weaving part, created by Alireza Akhoundi on Grasshopper3D.com's discussion boards (http://www.grasshopper3d.com/profiles/blogs/weaving-patern-on-surface), which creates the weaving pattern facade on the tower.

The 2nd part of this definition was added by me, based on the example in the Grasshopper Primer 2nd Ed. called "Uneven Surface Diagram". What this part does is to make the distribution of the threads uneven, essential creating an illusion of the threads bee "zoomed" in an out at parts of the surface.

Bamboo weaved into a chair with a backrest.
Using different materials and thickness of the threads different objects can weaved. From using linen to make a tablecloth that can capable of wrapping and revealing the object beneath like a skin to using strips of bamboo to make a chair that is capable of supporting weight.

Task 2 - Research - Tutorials/Guides.

The idea that one object can be used to create so many different forms depending on positioning and binding is interesting. From the stack of wooden boxes seemingly dumped onto the ground from a high place to create a sense of chaotic mess to the bound and stacked boxes to form walls and passages which forms order.
