PATTERNING LAB: Parametric Patterns and Digital Fabrication | 2012 August 18-19
PATTERNING LAB was a two-day workshop on the topic of Parametric Patterns with Grasshopper for Rhinoceros. In a fast-paced and hands-on learning environment, we experimented with the materiality, craft, and effects of patterning through the distribution of simple and repeatable material events (the cut, the fold, and the perforation). Coupling Parametric Design and Digital Fabrication workflows, we iteratively tested our patterns while learning best practices for use of a large-format Laser Cutter. Prototypes ranged in material palette (fabric, paper, plastic) based on participants’ interests and were used to discuss issues of craft, detailing, and the assembly process.
