Assignment 2 | From Flat to Form

This time I am still committed to the 'World Game Stadium'. By simplifying the way of controlling the planar grids, introduced the central angle of the circles instead of filled cellular small circles with the grids. As shown bellow, the circular skeletons are divided evenly by the radiance and the every central angle is made as reference and edited with formula too.

Division of the Circle

By changing the central angle-the only parameter, the whole grid system can be changed in a more specific subtle way, along with the skeleton geometry.

The next step is to apply elevation variations along with the planar grids, and relate the two to each other so that a diverse spatial form may emerge.

Since there are two directions of the segments composing the grids, two different groups of height variations are played with the grids here.

One group of splines are laid vertically, connecting the end points of a sequence of segments along the curve skeleton(as shown bellow). The height of the curvature of the arches are changing according the changing lengths of the segments in the planar grids.

A group of points are introduced in the 3D space on the spline arches, dividing the arches by ratio. Then link those points with another (blue) spline which will be use to create multinational surface in the next step.

Do the same thing of creating arches over the planar grids in the other direction.

Repeat the height changing principle and draw another spline in the space.

Constructing a complex spatial surface by lofting the two splines and the grid skeleton outlines(as shown bellow).  

Split the surface by extruding circles from the plan and cutting with each other.

Variations are shown bellow to demonstrate a undulating surface changing height constantly.
