Module 4 - Rise or shine

Overview:

For this project, I created a shelter structure that can be modified/adapted by the user. I decided to map one of Monet’s paintings of the “Falaises d’Etretat” -close to my hometown- as shown in figure 1 below.

Results:

The following section shows the results I obtained for this assignment. Figure 2 is the normal image mapped onto my structure. Figures 3 and 4 show both the debossed and embossed surfaces. Finally, figures 5 to 7 show how the panels adapt to the sun's directness.

Figure 7: Adaptive panels based on sun directness at 4:30pm - high panel density

Modelling approach:

The following steps describe my modelling approach for this assignment.

Step 1: Gather user input and start creating guides for the structure

Step 2: Create guides for the structure (continued)

Step 3: Panelise the surface and import + orientate the image

Step 4: Define the panels and assign colours to mimic the image

Step 5: Adapt panels according to the sun’s directness
