grabbed a small portion for laser cutting and vacuum forming

tried different methods for visualizing the sleep cycle data; voronoi looked the best so I decided to go with it for laser cut

first, created a graph of two weeks of sleep cycle; y indicates the time; x indicates the date

Screen resolutions can effect the how people experience webpages. 

Taking the screen resolutions data from 2002 to 2011 and Voronoi tool, 

I created this pattern.…

Here I am

This is a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge that I took from Point Bonita. In this process I wanted to see how much of the sky color is inside the water.

By cropping out a section of image and measuring the amount of color from each pixel, I fed those numbers into rhino and was able to further experiment the results in grasshopper.…

with this project, we have to input some statics or numbers.

therefore i though global warming will be a good topic to do this.

here is the graphic i got from the google image.…

Parametric Strategies in Civic and Sports Architecture Design

Originally published in 2009 as part of the ACADIA conference, this peer-reviewed paper describes the parametric strategies being used on several NBBJ civic and sports projects

Just getting started on a new project: Complex 3D Swarfing and Assembly.

We are recreating the Aalto Vase using 5-Axis Swarfing to cut both the inner and outer profiles in a series of slices, assembling into a compound curved object. This will lead to more difficult and interesting applications of 3D Swarf tooling. More to come soon.

The dome is owned by Design Miami’s founder Craig Robbins, who restored the piece in anticipation of Art Basel | Miami Beach and Design Miami 2011. After being contacted by Dan Reiser and John Warren, who fabricated the original dome prototypes with Fuller, and the Buckminster Fuller Institute, Goetz was eager to participate in the project. “The challenge was to renew the piece, but keep the spirit and the…

Hello everyone, I use and design with Rhino every day at my work.  I mainly do custom patterns for inflatable products. We cut these patterns with a tangential knife CNC and assemble them with hot air welders.  Check out my photos page for some examples. 

A 56-foot-long aluminum sculpture leaps into Sacramento’s new airport.

Whether they need a reminder that they’re late (for a very important gate!) or welcome a distraction from the hassle of modern travel, visitors to Sacramento’s International Airport will not miss Denver-based artist Lawrence Argent’s Leap sculpture. Completed last month in the new Corgan Associates-designed Terminal B, the 56-foot-long red rabbit is suspended mid-jump in the building’s three-story central…
