I'm working on the interior renderings of the performance hall we are designing. Here is the first pass....
This unfolded drawing shows the complete interior surface of the performance hall we are designing. The black lines will be steel channels that house all infrastructure and the surface panels will be acoustically transparent, perforated aluminum.

Slicer is a script I’ve written that cuts random angles into any form. Variables adjust the range of angles, the location of projection, and the quantity of cuts.

From Pecha Kucha:
“The Sound Dimension”
In the early Oughts, the ubiquitous access to three-dimensional visualization technologies liberated designers form the limitations and legacy of two-dimensional representation. Architects feverishly took to these advancements applying them towards spatial applications, and with these tools, critiquing data and reinterpreting form and surface quickly became old-hat exercises in the initial, more free-wheeling schematic design process. These technologies nurtured a significant advancement in building a more multi-layered, responsive, and dynamic approach to visualization.
Not content to stop at 3 dimensions designers are exploring how to integrate in their creative vocabulary and toolset new elements for representation. What elements of inspiration are now begin explored, adopted, integrated? Specifically how is visualization inspired by other dimensions and senses such as sound and in particular music? In what ways can the immateriality of sound influence and translate into the world of physical design?
Pecha Kucha #10 will serve as an exploration of how sound, a seemingly visual abstraction (or distraction), can serve as the foundation to informing, visualizing, or connecting to architectural and graphic space.
