DESCRIPTION
CREATE
Blue whale in August is an art work created by an art designer for the hotel lobby. In the way of programming parameters, simulate the volume and swimming dynamics of the 8-month-old blue whale, integrate the texture of marine coral and stars mapped in the sky, and carry out accurate parametric coding construction.
UNDERSTAND
Blue whale is the largest animal in the world. Its huge body swims freely in the vast sea. Blue whales generally live to be 50 or even 100 years old. Its life span is very similar to that of human beings. Blue whales are about 7 meters old and about 15 meters long when they are eight months old. "Eight months old", the designer believes that it is just like the human eight month old baby period, which is the transition period from baby to child. It is the most beautiful season to start learning various skills independently. Through the research on the shape of blue whale and coral texture, we can see the stars and sea through its body. So as to create a close experience between people and whales and call attention to the mysterious marine ecology.
CHALLENGE
Function programming to generate polygons freely and disorderly; Edit the dynamic curve to generate the undulating structure of high and low inertia; Coding, each face is unique and connected with each other. Construction of parameter module, idea perception and process mechanics.
Designer: Yuefei Zheng
With the parametric design, it explores the perception of human and emotions, the experience of space and walking, and the interpretation of nature and parameters. With refined parametric modal logic, it has reconstructed the reading mode between humans and space.
