(n)certainties – Columbia – Fall 2007

The alternatives…. The two versions are the same system, with the same parameters using a different lofting cross section.  The one on the left was from the most recent presentation.  The one on the right is updated, attempting to reveal the slabbed nature of the project.  Both have good qualities…  thoughts?

Here is the most updated version of the Agritect project.  Need to determine how to make a balance between the smooth, explicit extrusion on the left; and the open, rigis system on the right. 
(The left uses 1 curve to loft each node.  Middle: 1 curve each node, then a curve of same height between.  Right: 4 curves tight to create extrusion, creates tight corners)

Also, in an attempt to start interconnecting multiple seeds, a strange folly appeared.  Instead of connecting the edges, the seeds began to merge into a larger single seed.  It doesn’t fit with my story, or the ‘reality’ which I have created, but it is still very provocative.  Something to look at after the fact…

Here is an early rendition of the large construction robot.  To be honest, I hate it.  I need to take a step back and look at the construction of the structure a bit.  The construction robot should be a single massive entity.  Right now, most of this robot is entirely arbitrary.
