What patterns and structures emerge from chemical, biological and mathematical processes? Select an organic form or process from nature, and develop it into a physical 3D surface using waffling and stacking techniquestechniques.

Materials: 1.5mm Grey Karton

Tools: Laser cutter

Software:

• Tinkercad

• 123D Make (Waffling and stacking/slicing techniques)

• Illustrator

• Processing (Processing and Laser cutting)

Observing

• Investigate further biological, chemical or mathematical form generation processes

• Develop a mood board (sketches, photographs, material examples)

Making

• Iterate the form generation process with physical models
• Creating an animated material using the zoetrope
• Updated mood board to display on project/processes
