Radiography
Personal Role: Scripted exploratory codes using voxels with Monolith to determine the most porous array. | Designed the script's behavior, and fabrication directions for the selected concept for this noise reducing object.
Medium: Rhinoceros | Grasshopper | Monolith | Photoshop | Illustrator | VRay | 3D Printing
Main Challenge: 1. Designing a porous, yet simple design concept that could be fabricated by folds using a water jet, and a robotic arm. Such design, should not block the double height's natural light, and visibility thoroughly
Unraveling: 1. A reduced population of voronois. The script is simple, the output is both porous as a set, and as a unit.

Noise from the espresso machines at Architecture West’s coffee shop in Georgia Tech can well be heard around most of the building, including the classrooms. Thus, the need for an acoustic softener. However, this cloud needs to be light and rugged enough to break away sound waves. Therefore the “crystallized” aesthetic solves the problem without hindering natural lighting and visibility from the void.
Design Iterations
Three iterations were generated using Monolith, a Grasshopper plugin that uses voxels as a way to render morphological behaviors. A point cloud was selected as the best solition since it is a simple concept, and can render the desired porosity better than the other two iterations.
