For this assignment we had to create a vase of a maximum of 30 cm using an alluminium sheet as material. In order to do so we first had to experiment with ideas and shapes on Rhino and after having achieved the desired result unroll the various shapes of the vase so to create an outline that could be then printed and used as a guide for tracing and cutting the shapes on the alluminium.

I firstly experimente with Rhino which shape I wanted my vase to be. I then printed the outlines and did a first model with cardboard in order to see if it worked and if I liked the result.
After this I started working on the final model made out of alluminium, slightly cutting the material in places where I wanted angles to be and adding a border to the pieces in order to better secure them to each other.
