Assignment 03.03 – Surface layers

Select two patterns, which you think are the more appropriate for this assignment. You may choose among all your patterns’ transformations.

Draw your two patterns in Cad-2D and insert them insert into a 12’ x 12’ ft. area/face/surface grid (6x6 modules of 2’x2’ ft. each). Scale 1:1

Explore and dismount layers of your patterns, de-construct relationships between primary and secondary lines. Isolate 2 or 3 layers within the patterns’ geometry. Work with solids and voids. Consider cuts through selected parts. Hatch the selected voids. Modify and review, if necessary, your pattern.

Print one 11”x17” page for each pattern’s exploration. Scale fit to page.

Start to think about façade openings.
Your patterning investigation is now enabled by façade applications.

Import the 2 (two) surfaces/patterns in 3DS.
If you are working with 3 layers: extrude with a thickness of 4”, 2”, 0” in. your first, second and third layer.

If you are working with 2 layers: extrude with a thickness of 2”, 0” in. your first and second layer.
Add boolean operations to show voids/cuts.
Render in color and print an axonometric and a front view of each 3D pattern. Print one 11”x17” page for each pattern’s exploration. Scale fit to page.
