INSTALLATION

This installation was design using Kangaroo, a live physics engine for interactive simulation, form-finding, optimization and constraint solving. The addition of behaviors to a base geometry allows the Kangaroo solver engine to deform and transform the geometry accordingly. A myriad of iterations can be generated using the same code with minor changes in the forces applied.

BASE GEOMETRY

A simple geometry that can be easily modified.

Variation in Mesh Subdivision

 

PSEUDO CODE

The script was developed using the process below.

GRASSHOPPER CODE

BEHAVIORS

A variation in Anchor Points and Loads results in the following deformations.

CATALOG OF ITERATIONS

The following iterations were generated by changing different parameters.
