Change of idea

After much stress and fiddling around with grasshoppper i found it really difficult to grasp my desired concept, hence having to change to something more simpler considering i am still new to this program and 3ds max (architecture student).

My new concept

Vines- a plant with a weak stem that derives support from climbing, twining, or creeping along a surface. i have always found vines to be very interesting as when they intertwine etc. new spaces are discovered, hence through this experimentation i will grasp certain areas of the vines to explore possible spaces that can be related back to architecture.

There are many different types of ways they grow as shown below-


i want to focus on the intertwining method around a central focus such as a symbolistic branch.
i dont want to keep to the more cylindrical shapes of the vines, rather i want it more prism like along with the middle branch to further relate it back to architecture and keep it more industrial like and more abstract. A quick sketch below illustrates my idea, hoping to imitate the drawing as much as i can within grasshopper.




I hope to capture the randomness of the vines within the forest, showing its unsystematic nature, intertwining, overlapping, twisting have no set direction. Below are some inspirations for my theme that i hope to base my model around.
