TABLE LAMP XX BUTTERFLY

 

Nature and math is an ocen of inspiration. The organic pattern contains three structures (plus butterflies main lines) and each of them is based upon Voronoi diagram – one of those mathematical oddities (like fractals) that turns up frequently in the world of nature.

The head of the lamp is made of Senegalese gourd. Its diameters are 27 and 23cm.

Thickness of the gourd is about 1cm so the structure is quite deep and it is carved on three different depth levels.

Height of the whole lamp is 48cm.

The diameter of the base is 28cm and it is finished with dark brown jeweler waxed string.

The end of the base is carved from wood.

On the top of the lamp is closing part locked with little magnets.

Remember when (not so long ago) this kind of thing was really difficult?

This "Stone Fossil" seeks to capture a moment in time when a leaf or insect is captured in a brief embrace with the forming rock and they each imprint on each other.

 

This lace rock (NZ schist) is made from 100% cotton thread which has been crocheted into lace that seamlessly encapsulates the rock.

 

Each rock dictates the form of the lace as the tensions and curves pull the lace into a unique shape. There is a beautiful contrast of soft and hard, earth made and man made, nature and art.

 

Each rock/pebble is a unique one of a kind piece which can be used as a paperweight, outdoor tablecloth weight, wedding table decoration, centrepiece or gift. The smaller ones can be secreted in a pocket as a personal talisman.

 

They look great in random small collections either grouped in a loose display, or together in a stunning bowl.

“Cellular Tessellation” is an architectural installation that transforms your urban experience as a pedestrian. This softly glowing, geometric form responds to your movements, creating an ever-shifting space of patterned and immersive light.

 

The impact is both spatial and aesthetic—you can be “inside” the space of the pavilion, as well as experiencing the project visually. As you move through and around the pavilion, you can manipulate the lighting effects—watch how the intensity and colour of the illuminations change as you interact with “Cellular Tessellation”. The artwork “reads” the proximity and number of inhabitants inside the pavilion and feeds this information back to you by adjusting its light output. It’s as if the pavilion comes alive as more people flock inside.

 

“Cellular Tessellation” uses innovative, “computational form generation” techniques to create and resolve the shape and componentry of the pavilion. The geometry of the artwork is a complex surface comprising an organic array of cellular “Voronoi” shapes, cut from flat sheet materials, folded, and aggregated to create the pavilion.

 

The pavilion is CNC-cut from flat sheets of high density polyethylene—recycled plastic milk bottles. Each “cell” contains an array of LED lights, driven by Arduino micro-processors and motion sensors.

 

The artwork has been developed by a team of three design-driven academics from the Soheil Abedian School of Architecture of the Gold Coast’s Bond University, who have developed the project to research emerging possibilities in architectural form and construction.

 

Chris Knapp is an Assistant Professor in Digital Design and Discipline Leader of the Architecture Program at Bond University. Chris directs the architecture office, Built-Environment Practice, which investigates design at the intersection of technology and culture.

 

Jonathan Nelson is an Assistant Professor of Architecture in Digital Fabrication and founding manager of the Architecture Fabrication and Research Laboratory at Bond University.

 

Michael Parsons is a Teaching Assistant at Bond University and a Master of Architecture candidate in the program, where he also received the Bachelor of Architectural Studies degree.

Here we take a similar pattern to our Voronoi tessellation from before, and modify it- we can't just keep extending the pleats from the region on the right, as that won't fold flat in the manner that we desire. So instead we have to modify it a bit and create a new set of pleats. This is a little tedious but it yields a wonderfully clean result.

 

If you look carefully, you can see some circles I drew at various important points- in the final collapse they all come together nicely to create a single point (and thusly a single circle). well, they would if I had more accurate folding + drawing skills, anyway.

 

This is a particular topic that has been bugging me for a few months now, and I sat down today and spent a few hours really fiddling with it to try to figure it out. I think I've got most of it understood, now.

After drawing a tabletop shape, setting the height and weight, the multi-objective optimisation grows a number of objects which can serve as the basis for further evolutions. The table system outputs data for the laser-cutting and the CNC bending machine. For assembly, stainless steel and brass cells are bonded with metal adhesives. Three exemplary objects were fabricated as proof of concept and exhibited.

A pretty demo of a "limitation" of my globemaker phenomenon I've encountered. The phenomenon is best summarized as the following puzzle:

 

Can you peel an mandarin orange in one piece and then when you squish it flat on the table, it overlaps?

 

Bonus Question:

 

Can anyone figure out the "rule" that governs why the x shaped wedges are taken out of the 3 o'clock piece, and why a parabolic curve is taken out of the 4 o'clock one?

Lace Hill in Yerevan, Armenia by Forrest Fulton Architecture for International Business Center competition

 

forrestfulton.com/lace-hill-over-yerevan

 

Lace Hill stitches the adjacent city and landscape together to support a holistic, ultra-green lifestyle, somewhere between rural hillside living and dense cultured urbanity. The 85,000 square meter (900,000 sf) proposal is a new model of development for Yerevan and Armenia that supports a resilient, high-value spatial fabric, dense with overlapping natural and urban phenomenon.

simple mash up of a few different sketches: circle packing to seed voronoi regions, then draw bezier flowers in each region for a marimekko inspired pattern (using palette from colourlovers)

Created for teaching the mini-course: Introduction to Generative Art and Scientific Visualization (github.com/yue-sun/generative-art). On the second day of the course, in the "Voronoi Art" session, I taught making image art using Voronoi tessellation/Delaunay triangulation to the class.
