Today I researched ways in which I can generate parametric designs. I have come across a few different types of software, with some seeming to have a steeper learning curve than others. I am hesitant with using parametric design for my installation, as it will mean trying to learn a new software in such a short amount of time. 

Today I followed some tutorials on Youtube, using Blender (specifically Sverchok, the parametric plugin).  After following the tutorials, I decided to attempt to ‘represent’ the sound of a space using a parametric box.

I took some recordings of claps in my kitchen, and used audacity to convert these recordings into numerical data. I then selected numbers at random and used them to drive the parameters of sverchok.

This is a very loose way of representing space, and it didn’t really work so well. I am going to have to figure out another way to represent space, or else I will just have to skip this part of the design, in order to build something before the exhibition.
