Experimental investigation into various representations of a bottle of laundry detergent. The bottle was initially measured with a custom measuring tool and the resulting data then transformed in both AutoCAD and Rhino with custom scripts that explored the weaving/lofting of surface geometry. In addition to digital representations, parts of the bottle were also cast in mixtures of rubber and foam.
CAST DETERGENT BOTTLE : Bottle segment cast in a mixture of rubber, foam and wooden sticks
 
CAST DETERGENT BOTTLE : Bottle skin segment cast in soft rubber
 
BOTTLE WEAVING PT I : Accidental geometries created by mistakes in AutoLISP algorithms
 
BOTTLE WEAVING PT II : Initial series of mistakes spawned a new round of investigations into weaving lines together using various algorithms
 
WEAVING III : Presentation board showing various weaving and lofting strategies
 
WEAVING III : Detail from board

BOTTLE DATA : 3d Model using lines only to represent volumetric data
 
PHASE 2 - SURFACE ANALYSIS : Custom drawing tool to investigate manual raytracing of light beams penetrating multi-layered ETFE panels
SURFACE ANALYSIS : Excerpt from presentation board showing Grasshopper implementations of manual raytracing algorithm in combination with rotation around surface normals.
