Experiment 03 [Voronoi]

Model 01. Voronoi (Randomized points)

Added two curves each from front and side view + sumsrf to create a surface based on the shape of those two curve. The curve surface is then placed directly above the voronoi base in order for the 'project' definition to work.

Adding thickness/volume to voronoi lines.

Model 2. Serendipity {Using the same voronoi definition + pipe]

Experiment 02 [Sine Curve]

I've thought about fabricating the terminal roof as the main feature of the building; manipulating the users' experience in the space as well as incorporating natural lighting into the building.

From Experiment 01, I decided to further develop the analysis of psychological tension on a surface (Experiment 01 was on a 'line'). A series of sine curves along y-axis generate an evenly distributed undulating surface.

Model 01. First attempt to generate the surface using sine curve and cosine curve alternatively along y-axis to create amplitudes.

Model 02. Definition allowing for sine curve amplitude to be adjusted via 'number slider'.

Model 03. Curvature analysis pattern on Sine-curve surface. From model 2, curvature analysis pattern was inserted to create series of circular holes along the surface. [in thoughts: Allowing natural lighting to penetrate through circular holes.]

[Added 'curvature analysis definition'] The series of circles gradually increase in size as the surface it situated on increase in degree of curve.

However, I was not able to maintained those series of circles as I started extruding the surface. [Need Help!]

Another alternative was to add a boolean definition for the circles to cut through the surface. Unfortunately with this definition, circles generated by the curvature analysis definition [because they overlapped] do not allow for boolean to work. Hence, long story short, I had to split those circles so that it won't overlapped and the surface ended up looking like a swiss cheese!! [still need to work on it].

Experiment 01 [Tension]

This experiment explores the personal space of the users in the airport. Human behavioral use of space changes as the condition/environment change. As crowding occurs, the violation of personal space increases tension levels.

Using grasshopper to translate this movement into 3d forms, I've decided to create a primary line that by using a number slider ranging from 0 to 1, would change the straight line to rougher randomized curves as number(tension) increases. The extruded form is generated by an additional curve/rectangle/pipe linking via 'sweep1' to envelop the primary tension line.

Gradient of tensions = As the violation of personal space increases tension levels, the roughness of form increases.
