University of Edinburgh 2024: Grasshopper Explorations
software: Rhino 3D, Grasshopper, Kangaroo
material: elastic yarn, 3D printed PLA
role: material researcher, fabricator
timeframe: ~6 weeksIn the spring of 2024 I embarked on a semester long exchange at the University of Edinburgh in civil engineering and architecture. I researched and developed three major projects focusing on learning the Grasshopper add-on to Rhino:
1) an exquisite corspe tower
2) 4 pieces of a seperate exquisite corpse tower
3) a hypothetical tensile hanging protostructure made from elastic yarn stretched over cardboard dowels
Overall, I grew immensely as a computational designer and learned additionally how to redistrubute myself when projects went south.
