algorithmic modeling for Rhino

05
On the occasion of Designers' Saturday 2010 in Langenthal we enriched the spatial potential of the Zipshape principle from bent to twisted geometries. We set up a parametric model that is able to construct a developable straight strip along any given spatial curve—just like the bending behavior of a straight paper strip that got manually twisted. The resulting «ZipSculpture» is a continuous, developable ribbon assembled from eight elements with 300 individual tooth geometries and a total length of almost 20 meters.
