Initial Sketches
- Initial Sketches were simplified slightly in the final model, but the main idea and shape remained.
Description
I first started by creating 3 lines, two being the end and anchor lines to the ground, and the third being an adaptable curve at the peak and/or center of the shelter. The base lines and can be adjusted by height and length. The central curve can be adjusted by height and curviness, location in the x direction and y direction, as well as adjusting how far down the curve extends to the ground. Limits are placed to require a certain amount of coverage across the middle and to keep curve elements above ground. Beams are placed arching throughout the structure, with the ability to be any number of them. The panels are aligned with the adjustable number of beams that span the width of the shelter, and the number that span perpendicular to the beams are adjustable at will.
