Research » Grasshopper mesh relaxation component [update] Mesh Relaxation plugin update A mesh relaxation component based on a force density algorithm. The component used a mesh, rather than a brep, determines it’s naked (lose) edges and relaxes the mesh nodes.Second release of a grasshopper component. V1.02 changelist - added a component for building a quad mesh out of lines. I use it to subdivide in equaly spaced quads any brep and then relax the mesh. - added icons for all the components - please make sure to delete the old .gha from you library folder All of this woudnt be possible without the inspiration and some components from: - Jon Mirtschin : / - Ursula Frick & Thomas Grabner: - Giulio Piacentino : and it’s Weaverbird component: Before downloading the package please be advised that is protected by a licence.

Elise Luttik is exhibiting at Salone del Mobile – Milano, 8th-13th April Two months ago we introduced Elise Luttik, an industrial designer living in Amsterdam. Elise’s design studio “eli5e” generates many high quality furnishing accessories set to ‘make people smile’, as she defines her projects. Her sketches made it all the way to our 3D printers, which resulted in fantastic projects. And we aren’t the only ones that think so because next week her creations are showcased during the Salone del Mobile exhibition.

SCPT 250_450. Organicités Piraeus Tower. A perforated skin, non-structural, which reacts to the environment – such as the views and the noise – in the 2 dimensions of the grid and to the sun in the 3rd dimension, with its thickness changing according to the size of the perforations. Analysis of the views, looking at the parc, the entrance of the port, the mountains and the acropolis. Each facade look at two of these objects. The result of the analysis is the result of this both views for each facade. The whiter it is, the best view you have, the darker it is, the less good view you have. The same kind of analysis was made for the noise around the tower. On the upper drawings we can see all the analysis together, with also the projection of the surrounding buildings on the facade. Here the deformed grid, which follow attractors points determined by the results of the analysis.

An idea of what could be this deformed grid, with the first try of connecting punctually the different surfaces. Projects « i.M.A.D.E.

The best way to place mullions on a curtain wall. The best way to place mullions on a curtain wall. Curtain wall is made of an edit_poly object which the edges of editpoly represent the axis of mullions , the mullion object itself is a single line object with a sweep modifier on top. This approach allow you to have any type of cross section for the mullions while it keeps them always perpendicular to the surface, you can also select the edges of edit poly and force mesh-controller to place the mullion only on selected edges. 3ds Max, curtain wall, Parametric Array, parametric design, tutorialApril 1, 2013 at 2:10 pmComments (0) Array on curves inside another array In this video I’m creating a curve network. 3ds Max, curve controller, parametric design, plug-in, tutorialJune 12, 2012 at 11:55 pmComments (0) Custom pattern tool in SubObject controller Learn how to use Sub object controller in surface controller in order to create custom patterns.

Bird’s nest Stadium Introduction Design by chance! Parametric design | >> ParaMaterial. Seminar + Workshop “Design through Systems Thinking Informed by Materials” . 01 I gave a seminar and run a workshop* titled “Design through Systems Thinking Informed by Materials” at the Istanbul Technical University, Graduate School of Architecture as a part of the course Computer Application in Architecture. The proposed approach aims to create a method based on systems thinking by referencing nature in order to generate a funda­mental base of computational design. Students should explore design through material systems in a holistic manner. By integrating systems thinking to the design process, in which the rules and relationship among system elements are defined at the beginning of the design process, most efficient solutions are generated by the system itself.

Students are asked to test this method on a façade solution.

Laying out the industrial program on site in accordance to different degrees of flexibility and requirements of the elements. This is the first of 3 drawings showing the individual approaches of users, planting and industry. These drawings will then be over layered to form a specific site strategy.

Page looking at the requirements for ethanol / vodka production, I have chosen to manipulate the process structure in such a way as to place unusual elements in close proximity to each other. This reflects the users of these spaces whom would not usually be found sharing place. Also indicated is how the by products could be potentially used to make temporary structures around the ring. choosing a site March 26, 2007 choosing a site from parametric data analysis collected around the ring road.

Hexayou. Blog : Twisted Architecture - StumbleUpon. I didn’t set out to tie knots in Norman Foster’s Hearst Tower or wrinkle his Gherkin, but I got carried away. It’s one of the occupational hazards of working with Mathematica. It started with an innocent experiment in lofting, a technique also known as “skinning” that originated in boat-building. I wanted to explore some three-dimensional forms, and a basic lofting function seemed like a quick ticket to results. I dashed off the function Loft, which takes a stack of three-dimensional contours and covers it with a skin of polygons.

Loft uses Mathematica‘s GraphicsComplex primitive to factor out the geometries of the polygons from their topologies. The contour point coordinates are collected in the first argument. I tried out Loft by embedding it in a Manipulate, and was happily on my way discovering some interesting new forms. Even this trivial parameterization of a scaled and twisted half-sphere yields an amazing variety of forms, each of which suggests interesting avenues to explore.
