Current Model

I've finally created a final design in grasshopper. The geometry itself is a vertical tower consisting of many different circular rings along the vertical axis which serve as floor plates. These floor plates are then connected together by four columns that follow the curve and height of the tower. A series of pipes arranged in an X also follow the curvature of the tower while a hyperbolic helical geometry runs the vertical length of the tower. The amalgamation of these four geometries create the bulk of the whole tower.

Experimental Iterations

Some of the iterations I went through before reaching the final model!

Assignment 3 Experimentation

I've experimented and created a diagrid pattern with the help of a tutorial. The aim here is to wrap this surface around a helix tower.

The tower in question looks like this:

I'm aiming to replace the dots that form the triangles in the diagrid with the points in the helix tower.
