Terrible 3D Ideas from a Dead Soap

For my pattern at the moment, I had a trouble time thinking about patterns we see in our daily lives, and in the back of my mind I had a thought for origami paper. Looked at a bunch of different designs for some of them and started mocking up one, until it gave me a bunch of troubles and it wasn't lining up as I hoped for. And so after thinking of an alternative way of using origami paper, I thought about how far I can take the scale for this pattern and I thought about the pattern that our city gives. Thus I looked up at the road works and the pattern it gives. and then from there decided to mush the two ideas together and have it as one. But along the way, had alot of difficult times rendering the hatches for my designs, my computer crashed alot of times and at times the split I wanted to do ended up freezing the program or taking 15 mins to complete the command. But here are some images that I have for it and hopefully I'll be able to upload another post later on during th

I did not know how to start this project, but after pondering for a while, I thought it be best to go out of the conventional views of a castle and with that also to push myself and see how complex and detail orientated I can get. Thus begins the ideas for a floating sci-fi castle/keep structure with a side of painful waiting times and struggles for the past 4 days. Started off with a couple of sketches as to the shape and the form I want to end up with. I wanted to keep some aspect of a castle so I decided to take up on some gothic architectures for the arches. [Initial sketches of how I want the Castle to feel and just getting down general sizing and proportions] After Sketching, I started working on the first layer of the keep. For this bit, I used Polar Array, Bend, Extrude Curve, Extrude curve along curve, handle curve, boolean union, boolean difference, & mirror. Took a while and struggled with handle curve and extrude curve along curve, but after a
