What happens when you are given a brief to design 500 housing units, a site in the East River between Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn, and 20 minutes to model your idea from scratch? You try to come up with an awesome idea!

This project was completed by Dave in early 2005, prior to the formation of CASE, but it represents one of the services that CASE will offer firms that are dealing with complex geometric rationalization for design and fabrication.

These Scripted Flower Vases were completed by Steve with Jon Kontuly in 2006, as their final project for a computational design class taught by Chris Lasch of Aranda\Lasch at Stevens Institute. The goal of the project was to design a series of vases that demonstrated the algorithm used to generate the vases, didactically through their form. This was as much an editorial process, as a generative one: identifying the elements that best represent the algorithm, while still maintaining the form and function of a flower vase.
