This project explored how clay 3D printing can bring about emergent physical and aesthetic properties that were not pre-designed. This was done by exploring various toolpaths parametrically, along with changing robotic arm speed and extrusion rates. I took inspiration from existing knit structures and attempted to mimic their morphology by scripting a tool path of points and loops which differ in x, y, z positioning, in size and in repetition. At the end, I produced a series of visually distinct towers, each using the same looping tool path strategy, but differing in the aforementioned variables.
