06:S1:02: Pattern Modelling

The Material_Organization workshop started with the pattern selection based on individual’s preference and investigation throughtout the body motion mapping. Taking pattern as a generic field, we will reproduce the 2D pattern into 3D by extrusion or lofting. With creating simple rules (2 or 3 for each pattern) and think structurally the pattern will be transform into a much more control and stability structure.
Pattern_selection: The selection of the pattern is based on the quality of flexibility, adaptability and dynamic (body mapping).
Chosen_pattern_Pattern 3: The chosen pattern from the initial is Pattern 3 as below. It is an opt-art creation by Bridget Riley-Shift, 1963. The pattern are so optically active that which seem to shift and change all the times. It create a dynamic feeling within its frame.

Pattern _Analytical _Diagram
The analytical diagram is to study the operation and organization system of the chosen pattern. Through understanding of these basic rules, it will allow the growth and control of the pattern when it transform to a bigger scale or a more complex structure.
Operation & Organization system
The pattern operates with few basic rules which is:
- start and end with the perpendicular triangular
- change its direction when it meets the perpendicular triangular (transition point)
- additional fold/invert line to transform the 2D to 3D and giving more structural ability to the pattern

Pattern_Study
These study is based on the operation and organization of the origin pattern. It is intend to understand the behaviour of the pattern. With modify and introduce more information to its organization it generate a different outcome. In fact, the operation of the profile would be change as well.
With introduce fold/invert line to the pattern and modify the transition point, it generate a different profile.
Transition pointThe ‘transition point’ is the main generator in the pattern. It divert the direction of the pattern when it meets the transition point (perpendicular triangular). With more transition point, the pattern create a more dynamic feeling.
Surface
The more transition in the pattern, it create a more surface within the pattern.
Folding
The operation of the pattern become obviously with folding it together. It became more structural. The fold/invert line give a strength and stability to it. The transition point change the direction of the pattern growth. The single surface pattern became multiple surface with the structural ability.
