Framework Form
For this project, I wanted to provide variations in overall form as opposed to variations in structural patterns on the same form.
Variations in plan
Constraints
The spline that controls the form of the extrusion always stays the same. A dynamic plan profile extruded along a static spine with unchanging bends tests the strength of variations of the tower's form against unchanging bends in its shaft. While a primary axis rotates consistently, a secondary axis is simultaneously changing its relationship to the primary axis. At times, two of the spikes of this star-shaped plan are close to one another, and at other times they are far. I came in with the preconception that the tower would be strongest when two spikes would come close to one another underneath the shaft's greatest bend.
Variation 1.) Rotation parameter = 0 degrees
Variation 2.) Rotation parameter = 70 degrees
Variation 3.) Rotation parameter = 140 degrees
Variation 4.) Rotation parameter = 210 degrees
Variation 5.) Rotation parameter = 280 degrees
