SHELL FORMS
As we looked through slides in the lecture of examples of laser cut models, The shell caught my attention straight away. All I could think of was using the waffle system to form the outside curves all around a spiral to get it looking something like the above photo.
I had used the sin function to create a spiral through grasshopper, managed the spiral, but the outer curves I just could not figure out.
I then attempted to try out something like the picture above, but something a bit more hollow.. the same thing happened and I just could not figure out how to do it.
I chose the shell form though because the natural shape of a shell is very curved, and spiraled, which is a great system of curvilinear geometry to form a model so organic.
I had decided not to choose the shell in the end.
