Ideation & sketches

Conceptual skectches

Think of uploading your hand-drawings, "frankenstein prototypes", pictures with notes, everything that shows your thinking process and initial development of your personal project. Giving inside in your process, will help the mentors to assist you further in your development.

research papers can also be linked through an online link or when optimised, PDFs of research papers can be added to your repository and credited to the writer or researcher

First Paths

The first requirement I encountered in my project was how I was going to translate data to transfer it to Grasshopper and work with parametric design, and what were the best options for measuring it, as well as the best software to use.

With one of my most direct references being Margrét Katrín Guttormsdóttir's “Moving Shapes” project, I realized that it was possible to do it from Grasshopper since that was the way that worked best for her.

However, I realized that this would not work for my project because it involves being live, and recording in an aqueous medium would result in a complexity that would prevent me from optimizing my time for parametric design.

I decided to work with a previous video to get the necessary data, this is an example of video to make the first test and also, this helped me to undestarnd the best way to record a video, with contrast colors, clear background, clean enviroment, etc.

So I researched more thoroughly what tracking meant and how I could use it just to gather information. And I found the KINOVEA software that is useful for athletes who want to see the trajectory of their movements, which was very relevant to my project. So I decided to use this software, which is very easy to use, and with the help of videos, I was able to synthesize and clarify the data for Grasshopper.

Afetr too many intents, i decidad to combine two techniques to generate some ondulations in grasshoper, with the below video help.

Next steps

Design & Fabrication

once you start designing and fabricating your first tests, you can link both at the bottom of the page with footnotes

"This step of the process was important because i learnt to draft my own pattern digitally. The first tests of this can be seen here on the right, find half- or test-fabrication files here¹"

Prototypes

prototypes are your first step towards shaping your final piece, product, material et cetera

Mentoring notes

Mentors in all sessions may share with you their comments, notes, advise, projects and technical equipment to check out. This is good place to share those, so that you can find them later on when you need them the most!
