Grasshopper Paneling Systems



For this exercise, I was very interested in seeing how thicknesses in the module/geometry affected how the different shapes meshed together when transformed into a surface. I explored these controls using the V-Count and the size of the shape of the module in order to yield various results. As expected, the middle ground between an appropriate V-Count and module size showed the most legible and expressive results. However, I came across a "happy accident", in which I got the shape I made to overlap itself in a gradient that was applied to the surface, and I chose to explore this idea further for my final project (top row, 4th image).
