W07. COMPUTATIONAL COUTURE¶
I'm so excited to start this new week. Very challenging, but so stimulating. Working at the boundary of DIGITAL & PHYSICAL.
CHECK LIST
-
-> Document the concept, sketches, references also to artistic and scientific publications on 3D printing and parametric modeling
-
-> Design a parametric model using Grasshopper3D and upload the rhino file + grasshopper files
-
-> Learn how to use a 3D printer and document the step-by-step process and settings
-
-> Document the workflow for exporting your file and preparing the machine, Gcode and settings to be 3D printed
-
-> Print file and document outcomes
-
-> Upload stl file
INSPIRATIONAL WORDS¶
"Disciplines as programming and electronics become highly interconnected."
"Data becomes Beauty, Interaction becomes Emotion"
INSPIRATIONS¶
1. BMW & MIT's Self Assembly lab
2. 3D printing on fabric
3. 3D printing on fabric
