Terminal Line Theory | Emergence | Mobility



Terminal Line Theory

Terminal line is phrase used to describe "a curving line that coincides with a temporary loss of smoothness in an undulating surface." With this definition in mind, I wanted to make use of this relationship with the use of public and private spaces and make it succinctly clear that there is a disruption in a smooth shape. These series of screenshots are a collection of unique forms focusing on the heavy use of the Kangaroo Plugin in Grasshopper. This freeform shape defined by curves mould a smooth structure, however, within the centre is the distinct divide of the continuous smoothness of the form, paving way for a public route from one end of the side to the other.

Emergence

I've understood 'emergence' as a system that adapts to its changing form which effectively presents itself as a whole. By adjusting the graph mappers, the lofted surface produces an altered form that is still read as one entity. Realistically, this form requires a structure to support it, which is where Lunchbox came into play and the purpose would ultimately provide both shelter and the ability to collect water for showering.

Mobility

Mobility can be defined with the help of morphogensis, in that it has a "biological process that causes an organism to develop its shape." In relation to this definition, I understood this concept as one that a specimen would begin or have a common start, but has the ability to develop into a completely different (or yet quite similar) creature/object depending on the circumstances. Here in this case, I present to you a collection of one model in 3 different scenarios, where the only factor that separates them is the way in which the graph's definition is shown. As a result, each version would yield a different purpose.
