“Rose window” is a 3d parametric model in Processing (version on Open Processing has the keyboard keys, since there was a problem with uploading the sliders on the screen). It’s rendered with P3D and exportable into a .dxf file. Seed of life was an inspiration for this particular piece. Interaction with the model happens via sliders on the screen.

It’s basically a developed attempt to create 3d parametric models available online, so that non-designers can create their own forms. Of course, the forms are “their own” only to some extend, since the “abstract form” is predefined by functions and interaction programmed. In other words, you can only customize the form, if you play with programed interaction.

However, there is a slight chance that with Processing, parametric forms are a bit “more open”, since if you know basic programming, you are able to interfere with the “abstract form” (you can simply reprogram interaction or generative functions).

Some stills from the program running are above and underneath you can see some stills from it’s development: 3d outcomes with just one row of the cubes proliferation…

…and here the cubes proliferation in many rows.
