Pushing on
Almost there with the first A2 half of the fold-out drawing:
Hope this is beginning to give a clearer picture of what I'm trying to do. Progress is a little slower than I had hoped, as it's tricky to find the right balance between the two previous versions (the repetitive one vs the much wilder one), but it should be in place for tomorrow. The second half is quicker as well. Just remodeling the new envelope as we speak, then need to add a structural 'x-ray', and pull out the primary corners I'm looking at. Along the way, I'm making drawings such as this one, to explain the steps (this shows how the corner can be modulated through bifurcations into 2-6 points with respect to structure, openings, and enclosure):
I probably have to remake this a little later on as some of the examples are a bit wonky, but I reckon it's good enough for now.
Next is just a quick sketch (nb: not even a drawing yet) of how the 'sinews' might grow into column-like structures. These are too thin, but give an idea. It quickly becomes very neo-gothic when the corners are concave, which can be interesting in places, but I like the previous convex version better, so will try to rework this into a version that is primarily convex, with some concave moments.
Now just workingworkingworking to get things done for Wolf. I'll try to blog more final versions later on, though it takes a bit of time to do this, and now I just want to push on and get this running faster than it knew it could run.
