Books to Bricks 2

For this week, I created the framework and the actual bricks that will be put into my final studio project. Though this is a start, there remains to be some concerns. First and foremost is the geometry these brick arches create, which is currently impossible/unbuildable without permanent shoring. This however can be fixed via the way the initial spline is set up, with each arch landing at a specific point where the load would be transferred down to columns or other vertical supports. Second, the UDF surf file for each brick is set up in a way where the lateral dimension changes depending on the steepness of the line. This prevents the bricks from overlapping, but creates a wide range of lengths, which would not be possible under the strict modularity I am proposing. Going foreward, I will focus on greater control over the brick dimension and spacing as well as playing with vertical stacking to create structure.
