Parametric Translations
MA Personal Project
2018

 

Inspired by the transformative nature of M.C. Escher’s Metamorphosis series, this work explores how rudimentary, basic shapes can evolve and mature into complex compositions through the subtle adjustment of various parameters. When reading the piece from one end to another, it is possible to follow how the pattern transforms over time. Similarly, the work aims to translate the immense potential of algorithm-aided digital design methods into something more visually tangible, expressing the inherent relationships between different forms of generative pattern-making.

This M.A. Personal Project was done as a collaboration between designers Jenna Ahonen and Hyoeun Park primarily through the parametric modeling program, Grasshopper.
