Lasercut Tower

For this project you'll work in teams of 6 people. Design a new tower composed of an assortment of units, each different from the other. Take your design from concept to physical model, with enough structural integrity to stand on its own. Organize yourselves and decide who will be responsible for which parts of the process. Laser cutting sessions are scheduled for Friday, March 25, at Radlab.

Process
Designing (sketching, writing pseudocode and modeling)
Scripting (writing Rhinoscript to generate geometry)
Converting (breaking down the 3d digital model into 2d parts)
Fabricating (laser cutting the parts out of 1/16” chipboard – 2 people per group)
Assembling (constructing the physical model from the laser cut parts)
Documenting (collecting and distributing the final script(s), rhino model, and photos for your group)
