This project started as a collaboration with Wanqin Nong, a New York City based artist. Inspired by Séquin’s video "Topology of a Twisted Torus," the artist created the concept of a room-sized walk-in Möbius Torus that could be explored on foot. Nong also specified that the torus should display an elegant elongated, egg-shaped geometry, with some important proportions expressing the golden ratio. In this report, we describe the techniques we used to construct such a geometrical model, which is suitable for both architectural visualizations and 3D-printing.
