Curling landscapes

Reverse engineering Ari Weinkle

A generative design project to push computers graphics in a direction of using algorithms to generate organic patterns. By adjusting any of the algorithms variables new shapes evolve forming a variety of different landscapes with natural growth traces.

Process

The projects main challenge was to break away from all traditional workflows by introducing a full Python language scripting approach. Many experimental approaches were tested to build a fast system that can generate various versions over a short period of time without reducing complexity.
