Description

For this assignment I started Part 1 with the twisting tower and the rounded triangle profile. Then I started changing different parameters, eventually deciding to use Dynamo to change the rotation of the middle profile. I was surprised with the effect this had on the metrics.

For Part 2 I played around with trying to make a few different profiles and had varying degrees of success with actually lofting a form from the profiles. Eventually I decided on a seven sided profile, and changed one of the sides to an arc to make it a little more interesting. I like this profile because of how unexpectedly the shape changes with changes to the parameters. I then put this profile in the twisting tower and used Dynamo to alter the rotation and depth (one of two parameters controlling the size of the profile) of the middle profile. These produced lots of interesting results and shapes.
