Geometry
I first drew a circle, a square, and a square-circle combo shape as the three base shapes. Next, I offset each base shape twice to create more complex forms. Finally, I used the loft command in Rhino to transform the 2D shapes into 3D structures.
After generating the 3D basic structures, I explored various combinations of these shapes and used commands like loft, revolve, and surface to create more complex structures.
Pavilion Design
Building on previous geometry experiments and incorporating the concept of a Chinese knot, I designed a pavilion, created a 3D model of it, and placed it within the Carnegie Mellon University campus site model.
Illustration-Style Renderings
Taking inspiration from
Duque Yvan’s illustrations, I created renderings of the pavilion that imitate Yvan’s style.
