Kinetic Lighting Fixture

Parametric Design and Digital Fabrication - This course was taken as an elective course and focused on introducing the idea of parametric design, through the use of softwares such as Rhino and Grasshopper. After a set of warm-up exercises, the final project was a kinetic lighting fixture designed using these softwares. A scaled model of the same was then fabricated using 3D printing technique. Here is a Video of the Kinetic movement of the lighting fixture.
