Conical Booleans_Geometric Orders

One of the Trajectories taken by our group this week was to start to bring some "order" to the method in which we were booleaning.  This is in response to the desire to both set up a method for paneling and joints, but also to control the final boolean operations in an effort to think more about opening/light/sound and other atmospheric conditions.

To do this we look at a variety of different geometric configurations to use as a baseline for our boolean operations.  The idea is to set up a grid through geometric configurations and then use that grid to generate a point grid.  The point grid can then be used as the center points for cones/hyperbolics which can be randomly assigned to these points.

Above is the final grid made out of a "flattened" icosahedron.  (3D shape with 20 faces)

For the moment, the cones used in this trial are only placeholders.
