Knitted Pattern Generation Algorithm
for Sustainable Architectural Builds
Phase I
Knitted Globe 3D Conceptualization
Flattening Surface Geometry in Rhino
Algorithmically Generated Knitting Machine Instructions
Knitted globe produced by algorithm’s surface flattening
Algorithm:
Computational Design & Surface Flattening, 2024 Designed to flatten 3D CAD model geometries into machine knitting instructions
→ for manual & computerized textile production
→ towards research in sustainable architecture materials and production methods
Developed in collabration with Dean Bogner, Yu Nong Khew, Sonia Roberts
Softwares: Python/OpenCV, Rhino, Grasshopper
Materials: Cotton, Nylon wire, Mycelium substrate
Phase II
Mycelium growth on knitted build
Growth: phase I
Growth: phase II
Work towards Soft Robotics and Knitted Sensors Research Lab, ongoing
