Reflection
Inspired by the resources Marcela provided on the website, I decided to make two connected linear patterns with curves because I wanted to implement this in the final project. I started with a small scale and asked Marcela for help to code it in Grasshopper. I printed it solid and I found the sound and waving motion is better than hollow ones. This pattern I tried to make aligns with our jellyfish concept and could be implemented if added motions to it.
One problem of using solid 3d printed materials may be its heaviness. So to use it for the final, I may want to use another shape that is of smaller size. Besides fluidity, one special point about this design is the sound, so this is also an important aspect I’ll try.
