Sculpture Design
Carlo H. Séquin · Virtual Systems and MultiMedia · 2001
The roles of computers, multi-media, virtual environments, and rapid prototyping in thedesign of abstract geometrical sculptures are explored. The techniques described in this paperare the outgrowth of a six-year collaboration between Brent Collins, a wood sculptor, andCarlo S?quin, a computer scientist. They are particularly applicable to abstract geometricalsculptures, where precisely defined and highly optimized shapes follow a clear underlying logic. The use of these techniques has resulted in several sculpture families, represented by virtual displays, many small physical maquettes, and by a few large-scale sculptures (Fig.1).
