P02 | Canopy Inspiration

The task is to build an installation based on our own definition of "diaphanous membranes". As a team, Loreta, Aaron, and I decided to bring the outdoors in to create nature-inspired shadows with an indoor canopy. The canopy will have a main structure that acts like the skeleton and has extra elements attached to it that will create different shadows. Ideally, the extra elements will be green, yellow, and orange (a range of fall leaf colors) to create more playfulness in the shadow colors.

The structural module will have a "boomerang" shape and the extra element will be an asterisk, which also looks like a leaf and can be made with different colored materials. We have also been working on the Grasshopper definition, which has been a slight headache since there are three of us on the team and there is no easy way to work on the files simultaneously.
