Cycloids, baby

The Bartlett, University College London 2017

Brief Description

Mathematics and Art - how do we combine the two and explore the hidden properties of 2D cycloids in 3D space?

The project looks at Cycloids - the curve(s) traced by a point on a circle as it rolls along a straight line without slipping, however, it is done in a unique Arts and Sciences kind of way in the Bartlett School of Architecture.




Project Presentation can be found in the video below.


More information

The project was made as a part of the first year Project X module, allowing students to explore their own topic of interest for the entire two terms.

Cycloids, baby attempts to look at the intersection of geometry and arts through a comedic and light-hearted point of view, resulting in mesmerizing 3D prints, dancing robots and groovy algorithms.

As usual, please refer to the full portfolio embedded above to find more information.
