Digital form finding studies by Adam Orlinski, based on the Kigumi principle featuring reciprocal linear profiles.
The basic concept of interconnected lines is used as the main parameter in a series of physical simulations. In digital models set up in Kangaroo Physics for Grasshopper 3D different combinations of forces and constraints are tested to explore formations emerging from a dynamic process.
In his studies Adam used the “Kigumi” design system that was developed in our various experiments on interlocking wooden profiles, to survey structural and space defining potentials on a more abstract and general level.
