At the beginning of this course, I chose three themes which were tree branches, fractals, veins in a leaf. I started to research on images of each theme and I thought ‘fractal’ will be the most interesting theme to make on it. As the task ask to show the geometry of the theme and I thought ‘fractal’ will be the best theme of my choice which also brings all different types of iterations. As the Grasshopper program is not familiar with me so I started to follow up most of recommendation tutorials and I chose few tutorials which can help me to create the form of ‘fractals’.
As I studied the theme of ‘fractal’, I saw lots of fractal images and the ‘ice crystal’ seems interesting which has a high level of extractable geometry and it also brings the complexity to base on my model making on grasshopper. While I studied on ‘ice crystal’, I found the beauty of the snowflakes which are the conglomerations of frozen ice crystal which fall through the Earth’s atmosphere.1 Snowflakes are coming in variety of the sizes and shapes which can be form due to the temperature and humidity. One of the most interesting part that I researched on snowflakes was all the snowflakes are nearly unique in structure even though they are in the same condition.
Most snowflakes are not completely symmetric. It grows changes dynamically and tiny changes in temperature and humidity affect the way in which water molecules attach to the snowflake. On my iterations, I try to show the change of the snowflakes form which is very depended on the temperature and humidity. The growth depends on exactly how water vapor molecules are incorporated into the growing ice crystal. As the humidity gets higher and higher the shape of the snowflakes gets more complex and while simpler shapes at lower humidity.
