Stage 1 - Rise and Shine (2 units) Part 1 - Use Image Data to Adjust the Color of Surface Panels

Mt. Fuji World Heritage Centre, Shizuoka, Japan

Inspired by the Japanese culture of having Mt. Fuji designed on the wall in the local community’s huge hot tub. Parametric design enables searching for an acceptable picture resolution.

Parametric Value Parametric value 1: panel (arc’s radius, starting angle, ending angle, and the height of panel).

Parametric value 2: number of panels in UV direction

Parametric value 3: flip and transposal

Clear steps

Step 1 - Create an Arc-Shaped Wall Surface

Step 2 - Panelize the Wall Surface

Step 3 - Read an Image File and Sample the Image Data

Step 4 - Map the Sampled Colors to the Wall Panels

Other thoughts: Low Resolution due to insufficient machine power; value 3 cannot be >50. This is the same issue when actually making. Applying color restrictions can make it constructable. 2 hours to make.

Part 2 - Use Image Data to Adjust the Height of Surface Panels

Parametric design enables searching for an acceptable picture resolution.

Parametric Value Parametric value 1: panel (the length, height, number of waves of the wall, and amplitude of wave)

Parametric value 2: number of panels in UV direction

Parametric value 3: flip and transposal

Parametric value 4: height of each panel; brightness or hue

Clear steps

Step 1 - Create a Serpentine (S-Shaped Wall Surface)

Step 2 - Panelize the Wall Surface

Step 3 - Read an Image File and Sample the Image Data

Step 4 - Map the Sampled Colors to the Wall Panels, Use the Sampled Colors to the Set the Heights of the Wall Panels

Other thoughts: Low Resolution due to insufficient machine power; value 3 cannot be >70. 1.5 hours to make.
