Digital_Dress_Project

Dome_One

Brep_Dome_Defintion

Dress_Maker_Definition

A grasshopper definition for the Digital_Dress_Project. An array of lines are projected though a brep. Two neighboring lines are divided then triangular surfaces are generated. Using the shift component surfaces can be tweaked. Baked surfaces are then joined into strips, unrolled and ready for laser cutting. Stay tuned for the first dresses. 

Kimono_Tile_Pattern

Oculus_Dome_Definition

A parametric tool for the creation of domes with oculi. My own build after seeing the definitions and made by Chris K. Palmer for his Digital Design and Fabrication course here at CU. Check out his amazing work at DigitalFabricationCU. Stay tuned for laser cut models using Chris K. Palmer's powerful slot tab script.

Parametric_Wall_Tiles, Master Molds

MDF master molds I milled on a 3 axis CNC. Ken Roberts and I are exploring plaster and concrete for casting tiles.

Parametric_Wall_Tiles, Digital Models

Bezier Motif

Sin
Motif

Computer models of two tile motifs created using the surface_box definition in grasshopper. Tiling geometry is carefully designed and modeled. This model is then tiled on a larger version of its self.

Digital_Dress_Project, Mannequin Assembly

This is the second mannequin Sean Hauze and I have designed and produced for our Digital_ Dress_Project. Isaac Oaks helps us assemble the laser cut cardboard pieces. The mannequin was designed in Rhino then processed with Chris K. Palmer's ribmaker script.

Welcome to ON_THE_BOARDS

This blog will follow my current experiments and projects in the fields of architecture and design. My name is Tyler Whaley. I'm currently a senior in the College of Architecture and Planning at the University of Colorado, Boulder. I'm interested in prefabrication, rapid prototyping, parametric modeling, performative design and CNC technologies. Feel free to comment on the posts.
