Tiling Experiments
With the stated goal to explore 2-Dimensional tiling patterns, I took it upon myself to explore variation not only in X and Y, but in Z as well.
I started with a straightforward 2-Dimensional tiling pattern that varies linearly in X and Y. I generated it algorithmically in Rhino using a simple RhinoScript that I wrote.
That completed, I decided to experiment with both vertical and color gradients to begin exploring the space of what’s possible with geometry and scripting. I looked at 2+ Dimensional tilings that both left gaps between the members, and patterns that were continuous. Some of my results:

Ron,
Thanks for taking the time to format some of the work so that it can be clearly understood. I think the option that you have explored with creating gaps in-between the shapes are interesting and should be investigated further. You should work with Nicole and Felix, and explore Nicole’s tiling patterns with the script. Of the images that you have posted, I think it would be interesting to have a few more posted of the option that have the gaps, but looking form a above and seeing more of the variation of gap patterns that reveal themselves from certain vantage orientations. If you can post two three more screen shots it would be helpful to see the effect of the patterns. At your earliest time, can you also post a few of the spiral structures that have been generated by the spiral script? We should try to interface with geometrical strategies that emerge based on some rules about performance of the vertical form (twist, taper, spiral with three forms the lace together). I know I am asking for a lot, but try to get as much done before the end of Monday please. I would like to push your group into taking some of the scripts that you have written and explore a few more options. Thanks
