Assignment 2 - Repetitive Bay System

• To model structual elements with dimensional control
• To explore design possibilities inherent in geometric transformations

Resource information about structures

Geometric Transformations & Regular Patterns

I. Create the original:

1. Find an example of a structural bay system which has enough information so you can draw elements to scale.
2. Model key components of the system (columns, beams, panels).
3. Assemble the components to create a single bay.

II. Make 3 Parametric Variations:

• With attention to grouping possibilities, use scaling operations to transform the bay. Try finding new alternates that change the reading of the components.

III. Post it on your Web Page

1. the original bay
2. your 3 variations

Use Fetch or FTP to put the image into your Web page.

For the ambitious:
Explore how your bays can be combined to create a larger structure.
