Tile Evolution

In this iteration of the tile I wanted to take the rotational form of the original tile and extend it in the z direction in order to capture more space. I felt the first tile was somewhat flat in its physical construct.





This tile also evolved from the original tile but rather than extending along its central axis I scaled it, which created the nautilus like form. I then explored two different arrangements. The first simply just copying over the unit, forming a striping pattern, and the second that rotated the unit 90 degrees, creating a more sinuous and integrated pattern.

Pattern Patterns

For the tile pattern I began with a spoon like piece that I cut from the fender area of the car. I First began by trying to place the pieces in a next to each other but I wasn’t satisfied with the outcome so I tried other things. I finally just decided to revolve the spoon around one of its point to create this circular pattern.

This is one of my previous attempts.

Matrix2

Here is a second version of the matrix study.
In this attempt I took two different portions of the hood bumper area and played with reversing the direction of the curve.

Versioning: Evolutionary Techniques in Architecture

Versioning – A means of designing, not copying.
Versioning promotes the process of design as an evolutionary process rather than simply mimicking a historical model, and advocates incorporating design tactics from other fields such as cinema, culinary arts, and fashion.
Through the use of vector based applications, compared to pixel products, a design is more fluid and capable of accepting change, evolving. An example given is the automobile highway. The highway system can be broken down to essential parts, i.e. loops. But no two loops are alike, they each respond to differing circumstances in terrain, traffic speed and size, each a version of other loops. Design and execution both influenced by external forces specific to the context. Architecturally this means that our design process should incorporate the building process and be able to move through differing scales. By understanding the means of fabrication we can understand its fluidity.
