Inspired by the elegance of Persian ewers, this work explores the intersection of historical form and computational design. Using Rhinoceros 3D and its Grasshopper plugin, a generative Voronoi pattern was developed and mapped onto a freeform surface.
A rectangular boundary defined the working area, while Populate Geometry identified the region for cell placement. The Voronoi mesh was refined through Weaverbird’s Picture Frame, Mesh Thicken, and Catmull Clark Subdivision components, producing a delicate lattice that responds to the ewer’s contours. Further refinement involved components such as Split Brep, List Item, Mesh, Mesh Join, and Mesh WeldVertices, merging the patterned surface seamlessly with the vessel’s form.
Bubbly Algorithm
Inspired by Persian Ewers Created using Rhinoceros 3D and its powerful plugin, Grasshopper, to develop generative algorithms and models.
Construct Domain, Isotrim, and Populate Geometry were used to produce points on a band and on the object/brep. Sphere, Random, and Construct Domain components were then applied to create bubbles of varying sizes on the band. Solid Union components were used to merge one or more generated bubbly bands with the initial brep/ewer. Parameters were adjusted to produce a variety of bubbly mesh variations.
