For task zero I wanted to create this ovelay effect and only connect the edges to the points given. I like the organic shapes and created one free form with rounded edges and lots of movement over a more stable circle. I used the stippled lines to enhance the point on the paper edge and used different fills to differentiate the shapes from one another, as well as trim the edges to create the overlap effect.
For task number one I chose the curve I wanted to use. I wanted to create an organic shape and decided to use the long edge of the geometry as a back edge to connect to the curved edge on the bottom. I extruded the edge to the height I liked and seemed reasonable for 3D-printing time and then I used swipe to connect the two sides. The complicated part was to connect the swipe to the bottom surface.
For task number two I picked out the shape i wanted to use and used offset to create the different layers. Then I trimmed the edges of the letters so that these would not be part of the ortography. The alignment was not perfect because of the print size of the paper was smaller than the digital drawing and therefore the lasercut, which i should have put into concideration.
For task number three I wanted to extrude the letter O into a curved shape. This was the first task I used grasshopper for the execution. I used Curve to create the curved edge and rail to form the O shape. I did the same for the inside circle and then connected the two with Sum.
For task number four I also wanted to create a curved shape and some wire connections.
