Raycounting, Subterrain, Monocoque

by Neri Oxman presented at the “Design and the Elastic Mind”, MoMA Museum of Modern Art, NY, 2008. Materials used, Resin SLA, Nylon SLS, Laminated wood composites, liquid plastic.

“Raycounting is a method for originating form by registering the intensity and orientation of light rays. 3-D surfaces of double curvature are the result of assigning light parameters to flat planes. The algorithm calculates the intensity”
