Rhino ++ Grasshopper – Plethora Project

It aligns with the "show me your screens" motto of the TopLap live-coding group attempting to get rid of Obscurantism in digital design. Directed by Jose Sanchez Contact me at : jomasan@gmail.com Bio: Jose Sanchez is an Architect / Programmer / Game Designer based in Los Angeles, California. He is partner at Bloom Games, start-up built upon the BLOOM project, winner of the WONDER SERIES hosted by the City of London for the London 2012 Olympics. Tutorial 6 - Brick wall. Introduction Result of this tutorial This tutorial will be about creating a curved brick wall using a 'stretcher bond' brick pattern that consists of bricks of the same size laid from the mid of each bricks above and below.

Tutorial 6 - Brick wall

In this tutorial you will you will use mathematical functions to generate the wall and will use the dispatch function to achieve the 'stretcher bond' pattern. The Design As said before, the task of this tutorial is to make a curve brick will with a 'stretcher bond' brick pattern. The wall height the wall lenght the brick dimensions the vertical and horizontal distances between the bricks. Antonio Turiello. WooJae's Blog. A technology publication created & maintained by case.

Plethora Project. Gil Akos. Interactive Prototyping is a process which strives to empower the designer – giving them the ability to build and prototype ideas in a more fluid and cost effective manner.

Gil Akos

About this Workshop: It is without a doubt that the design process encompasses many things. From ideation, 3D modeling, programming, and manufacturing to material testing, marketing, life cycle assessment, and cost analysis; the designer is often confronted with many challenges. Prototypes give the designer the ability to test or simulate how a given set of parameters will affect a particular design.

Prototyping is inherently iterative in nature and we’re constantly searching for faster more powerful ways to build better prototypes. This workshop will focus on hardware and software prototyping techniques; primarily focusing on a wide range of sensing and actuation modalities and the creation of custom built tools in order to create novel interactive prototypes.

Template:Grasshopper Data Tree editing

Grasshopper. For designers who are exploring new shapes using generative algorithms, Grasshopper is a graphical algorithm editor tightly integrated with Rhino’s 3-D modeling tools.

Grasshopper

Unlike RhinoScript, Grasshopper requires no knowledge of programming or scripting, but still allows designers to build form generators from the simple to the awe-inspiring. What is Grasshopper? Example of a grasshopper model to design a sun shading system Grasshopper (GH) is a programming interface for designer. Instead of using programming languages, it uses a lego-like interface. Development. ModeLab. Rhino ++ Grasshopper – Plethora Project. ARCH794 Parametric Thinking & Non-Linear Design. Beginnings: P2 – Fractal Screen At the beginning of the quarter I was interested in using parametric programs to design architecture with fractal properties.

ARCH794 Parametric Thinking & Non-Linear Design

Choosing where and when to repeat the fractal pattern, I could create areas of greater or less density to control light, visual access or even express load transfers in a structure. For our first project, a three-layer screen, I chose to go with a simple branching pattern using the “interactive split” and “triangulate” tools in Maya. P3 – Light Column Even though I deviated from the fractal patterns for the final project, I still wanted to continue to work with the idea of a pattern with various levels of density and transparency in order to control light.

The first precedent comes from designer Pierre Poussin and his Mitosis Courtyard in downtown Toronto. Massive Grasshopper Attack! Create Tool Paths for CNC Routing - Fabrication.

Click image above 2 watch video Autodesk is developing a new program, ‘Vasari’, which allows for quick and efficient wind and heat gain analysis.

Visari to Grasshopper

A common problem is pulling information across from these types of programs, like EcoTect, into a designers environment like Rhino and Grasshopper or 3D Studio. Without a proper SDK, or the understanding thereof, it is a frustrating and irritating process. In the academic environment this is an important part of any software package, the ability to jump between software.

After one of our students asked how it could be done, I came up with this method (more like a cheat). The trick is to see the Visari animation as color data, the Reds, Greens and Blues. Step1: The image above is a single frame from Visari in Top view. Generative Algorithms: Lindenmayer-System (L-System) An L-system or Lindenmayer system is a parallel rewriting system, namely a variant of a formal grammar (a set of rules and symbols), most famously used to model the growth processes of plant development, but also able to model the morphology of a variety of organisms.

Generative Algorithms: Lindenmayer-System (L-System)

L-systems can also be used to generate self-similar fractals such as iterated function systems. L-systems were introduced and developed in 1968 by the Hungarian theoretical biologist and botanist from the University of Utrecht, Aristid Lindenmayer (1925–1989).

TV. Grasshopper « Geometricmind. This grasshopper definition is to create a Hyperbolic tower with helix partition. 01 concept There are two features in this definition, first one is to use ‘function’ component to create geometry. The concept is explained in the image above. Basically, there are doughnut like floors through the whole tower, each has the same area. This was enabled by ‘function 2′ component that inputs are the area of the outer circles and the floor area you want. Enjoy grasshoppering. LaN / LIVE ARCHITECTURE NETWORK » Grasshopper Definitions.

From Phylogenesis, FOA 2003 The following Grasshopper modules were created in consultation with FOA's Phylogenesis, in particular the taxonomy of forms found at the conclusion of the book. Grasshopper is an exciting and evolving modeling platform - the following examples attempt to develop a range of geometric examples to explore its form-making potentials.
