The Squid!
Customizable and practical, “The Squid” addresses two earlier concepts to regulate circulation and create a central element for the IMA exhibition.
The base of the structure provides niches for plasma displays, a projector, and seating areas while phalanges entice visitors into the shadows.

Rhino Scripting (Intro)
Wednesday’s tutorial on Rhino-scripting provided some of the basics of Rhino-scripting, but most of us are still unsure how to construct a complex script. An exercise in scripting however, we set to the task of editing and combining pre-existing scripts.
Starting with the fractal script, running a series of consecutive scripts tagged onto the original script modified the end resultant drastically.
The first experiment included the original script plus a self lofting command to loft the resultant curves. The parameters need to remain quite small to construct the geometry efficiently, but the end product results something similar to crushed paper or plastic wrap for some flowers.
The second experiment modified some of the parameters for the fractal script to increase the number of recursions before splicing a pipe script into the fractal script.
The final experiment utilized the varying radius script changing the original (12) variable to 50. The varying radius reflects similar growing patterns of vegetation – longer spans reflecting a wider diameter.

Revit Training - Jan 18th, 2008
“Revit® Architecture* software works the way you think, so you can create naturally, design freely, and deliver efficiently. And because it is purpose-built for building information modeling (BIM), any change you make—anytime, anywhere—is automatically coordinated throughout your project. Designs and documentation stay coordinated, consistent, and complete.”

Lord of the Rings Motion Picture Trilogy – The Exhibition
Ended U.S. tour at the Indiana State Museum
Oct. 6, 2005, through Jan. 3, 2006.
Indiana State Museum
650 W. Washington St.Indianapolis, IN 46204
317.232.1637
“This touring exhibition has been created by The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, known as Te Papa, who were granted exclusive rights by New Line Cinema to produce an exhibition based on "The Lord of the Rings" film trilogy produced in New Zealand and directed by Peter Jackson. Since closing at Te Papa, this exhibition has toured to some of the world’s major cities, including Boston, London, Sydney, and Singapore, and visits Indianapolis Oct. 6, 2005, through Jan. 3, 2006. Te Papa thanks the New Zealand Government for supporting this exhibition.” Indiana State Museum
Architectural exhibition features:
- A large entrance display extends the exhibition out of the gallery space
- Signage advertises the exhibition to the passersby
- Large exhibits are featured around the perimeter while smaller displays fit inside
- A single partition module can be combined into three different configurations
- Featured exhibit in the center of the back wall
- Exhibits are divided into categories from modeling to costume design.
- A large graphic and smaller text provides extended information for models, videos, and interactive exhibits.
- Signage suggests counter-clockwise circulation, but it was not regulated
- Interactive displays provided extra circulation space
