What do you call this pattern?

apricot

Have been pretty detached from parametric design for a while. 

Is there a name for this kind of pattern?

I kid. It looks like a sliced form that applies supports in a running bond.

it's called "looked better in the renderings without those supports"

without supports it'll be called contoured lofted surface?

Should have used 3" thick plexiglass intermediate layers so that you didn't have to have supports

3"-thick cornstarch based translucent layers with 1/4" holes drilled at angles following the trajectory of the sun on the day of installation.  It's the perfect type of material, heavily labor intensive (installed at the low, low price of free student labor) but very cheap raw material cost.  Plus, it includes "parametric" design elements and "solar"... I mean the word sun, so it's "green", sure to get an A in any studio-esque 3-credit hour elective

Those supports make it interesting and provide the brickpattern like shadows imho. I'd give you an F ;)

You'd give me a C at worst or else I'd complain to the dean and you'd lose your adjunct position teaching 3-credit hour classes... but honestly, you'd give me an A, because after your first crit, where I got the flow of what you liked, I'd just grind out ungodly amounts of renderings and models of your pet ideas until you decided to take one and present it as your own idea at some art gallery in an attempt to gain tenure.
