Erwin Hauer II Printed Model Second generation Hauer panel, in this one i introduced the fluid curves. Was a little tricky getting the vectors on neighbouring cells to meet, learnt a few interesting bits about grasshopper tree structures. I started cutting out the Makerbot scaffold material, but liked the effect of leaving the edges, enhances the flowing form. I have now cut out the rest, but haven't taken a photo yet.

Erwin Hauer I Printed model This model was printed a few weeks ago, but im a bit behind uploading, so doing it chronologically. Printed on a Makerbot.

Facade Model Illustrates nature of concrete coffering on underside of floor slabs for rigidity. With raised flooring to provide services and guarantee an even floor plate. Hard to see but embedded within the concrete are electrical cores and piping (triple use; circulating thermal mass, heating and emergency sprinkler system)

Weekly grasshopper workshop I have organised and running with two friends, due to many student requests for lessons. We had to create two different classes, to accomodate the amount of people wanting to attend. This document is just a brief overview of what students will be taught in the first two 3 hour sessions, (along with many not-so-pretty definition). All money raised from the workshops will go towards purchasing a Reprap 3D Printer.

3D Mesh model created from photographs. Test for my architecture thesis project. Scanning my prototype fabrications against the computational model for accuracy. Then calibrating the script for expected material tension and concrete expansion. Fairly impressed with results, but a more rigorous process will need to be created for thesis scanning
