Individual_Task_00

Mountain landscape created with lines in Rhino 7. Several commands were used (Line, Polyline, Curve, Polygon, TextObject, Trim, Offset, etc).

Individual_Task_01

Mountain landscape created with lines in Rhino 7 and 3D-Shapes made in Rhino and Grasshopper, printed using Creality Slizer and printed on Ender-7.

First, I chose to extrude the 2D layouts that were shaped like lakes, as well as the shapes forming my initials. To do this, I used Grasshopper and utilised number sliders to define the extrusion height of each shape. I carried out multiple tests and created several Grasshopper scripts/graphs. I printed some of the shapes, but I could not 3D print the largest lake, in which made a hole. I tried twice but could not manage to print it. For the other shapes, I had no issues.

Then, I wanted to create a more complex 3D shape using Grasshopper. I aimed to extrude a shape with a different height for each vertex. To achieve this, I created a Grasshopper graph that was a bit longer than the previous ones.

Individual_Task_02

Mountain landscape created with lines in Rhino 7 and 3D-Shapes made in Rhino and Grasshopper. Some of these shapes have been printed using Creality Slizer and printed on Ender-7, and other ones have been created with the laser cutter (such as the biggest lake or the hut which have been printed with several layers).

Individual_Task_03

The largest form was created from surfaces and meshes.

The first two forms are a kind of pavilion created with surfaces, with a complex roof created with meshes. They are based on the lakes created with curves for the previous tasks. However, the complexity of the roofs in relation to the small size of these shapes did not allow me to print them correctly. The second shape was printed but not entirely as you can see from the photos. For the third shape, I wanted to try out the ‘Loft’ component in Grasshopper.

Individual_Task_04

Roof structure created using Grasshopper, covering a passageway and a space for resting, sitting etc.

General dimensions: Length: 60m, Width: 6m, Height: 4m.

I used Pipeline in Grasshopper to give thickness to the columns and beams, so the elements have circular cross-sections, although some of them are represented in wood on the visuals. For the next task with Karamba3D, I will consider these elements either as circular-section elements in metal, or as rectangular-section elements in wood.
