3.0_3.1 to 3.4.5_9/10/2007


3.0 Site

3.1 to 3.4.5 Our objective was to anaylze the sit by identifing certain activities within a two block radius from the site location. Using these points, which were plotted on a map digitally to form"point clouds", we used rhino to create "logically" nurb curbs, lofts, meshes, and triangulated meshes. Further, we used our "point clouds" and different nurb curbs to create phenotype relationships.
