MAN HIN MA - BENV2426: Assignment 1 – Modelling

For this first very first assignment, I illustrated the letter M using Grasshopper 3D. At first, I attempted to recreate a simple box geometry of the letter, but due to construction methods like using 3mm plywood, it was hard to realize the model in a form which had resolved perfect edges (edges meeting at degrees of more or less than 90 degrees were an issue).

Therefore, I decided to give sectioning a go. The structure of the letter 'M" which I've designed in grasshopper consists of 4 frames that overlap one another, and include this voroni like structure inside, which was created by adding a randomized set of values to determine divison points on the lines, which were connected as if they were lofted. Additionally, I did something that is mostly commonly known as 'piping' except I did it with sweep1 in order to create a rectilinear surface for the sweep.
