Rhino Grasshopper Investigations
this definition :
1) controls
a) a rectangle’s length / width/ fillet &
b) the radius and z-height of a circle curve
c) lofts the two curves to form geometry
which is then…
2) is paneled along a surface
a) user controls the number of UV sub-divisions the geometry gets applied to the surface
* one thing to be made aware of is the bounding box deff is driven by the components outer most curve, which can be from the inner or outer creating curve. compare the 1st structure to the 3rd to see what i mean.
Cell Forms
A series of investigations based on cell structures. Designed in Rhino and 3D printed at different scales.

Transforming Light Studio – Serious Play 2008
I co-taught the Transforming Light Studio at Serious Play 2008, hosted by Art Center instructors Dan Gottlieb and Penny Herscovitch.
I shared my knowledge of non-linear folding techniques with the students whom collectively created dynamic forms and reinterpreted lighting fixtures.
About the studio:
Open your eyes to the power and poetics of light. Using paper, tyvek and other simple supplies, participants will invent a range of lighting solutions. Some elements will be inspired by the work of Conference speaker Robert Lang.
