The fabric weave that reflects the built grain of the site is deformed to contours.

Software : Iso-surface

Useful link to elective run through Columbia on Digital Fabrication. Explains the a form generation methodology using Iso-surface which creates form from cross sectional images. Not too sure how to use it yet. A more detailed tutorial here

Particles and Fields

A tip here on parenting fields to particles
This would allow a field (force) to dynamically move through space following the trajectory of a particle. Another way to do this would be to use the script which generated cuves from particle trajectory then animate along a path.

Personal Interactive Devices

MIT Tangible Media Group. A website catalogue devoted to the design of digital/spatial interactive devices.
One element of my project to be the design of personal navigation devices that negotiate the encounter of visitor and the 'living museum' of the point nepean site. Thanks to R&Sie museum project for the idea.

Deformable Grids

Setting up a deformation lattice in Maya might be the way to simulate Eisenmanns process of deforming grids and creating nets. Link here to an explanation of how the lattice works
