Differential geometry - the normal vector of a normal section. Applied Geometry Lab Publications. Elegant Generative Art Explores the Haiku as Code. Forming Nebulas - Processing From poetry through pottery, music, and interior decoration, many traditional Japanese artforms share a similar inspiration in wabi-sabi, that is, the aesthetic celebration of impermanence and imperfection.
In the case of the former, it manifests itself elegantly as haikus, hyper-short poems often characterized by their usage of 17 syllables divided between three Zenlike phrases. With Visual Code Poems, self-described "sound artist and VLF explorer" Dan Tapper takes Zen poetry and haiku one step further, using programs like Processing to morph the mediums into gorgeous, generative code-based art. Parametric design? No… In my line of work I realized there is a lot of confusion about the term parametric design.
The main confusion comes from the broadness of the term and I want to show that there are many completely different professions (mine included) put into that same drawer, although they do not really belong there. This is a subject for an entire book, but I will try to make this post relatively short… Parametric? “Parametric” means algorithmic, programmed, automated…by changing couple of simple parameters, through a series of algorithms (functions) a complex entity (geometry) is generated. If you visualize a mathematical function, by changing variables you can generate different graph curves. Parametric Stairs © Programming Architecture Parametric people of the first kind There are people that actually use these techniques to design. Voronax Structure – © Programming Architecture Many people do this.
Programming Architecture. Defining a More Purposeful Architecture: A Guide to Current Architectural Trends. The current state of architectural design incorporates many contemporary ideas of what defines unique geometry.
With the advent of strong computer software at the early 21st century, an expected level of experimentation has overtaken our profession and our academic realms to explore purposeful architecture through various techniques, delivering meaningful buildings that each exhibit a message of cultural relevancy. These new movements are not distinct stylistic trends, but modes of approaching concept design. They often combine with each other, or with stylistic movements, to create complete designs. MADEinCALIFORNIA ///Co.De.: Rhino Tessellation02. Urban Lab Global Cities (ULGC): The Opus by Zaha Hadid Architects. This review is a perfect illustration of a recent body research developed on architectural geometry.
As mentioned by Helmut Pottmann, geometry plays a roll more and more important in architectural design. The new Zaha Hadid Architects' project, The Opus, is not yet completed. The analysis I propose will focus on certain aspects of this building, particularly its form. I will stress recent research on PQ Meshes, or Planar Quadrilateral Meshes. Mathematics data have been selected among a large number of mathematics literature. Theater of lost species by future cities lab in dissident futures. Oct 11, 2013 theater of lost species by future cities lab in dissident futures theater of lost species by future cities lab part virtual menagerie, part memory chamber, part urban spectacle – the theater of lost species provides a contemplative and engaging experience. visitors are invited to view and interact with swarming digital sea creatures through large glowing viewing cones. screens mounted at the end of the cones display a curated virtual ecology of lost marine species. sensors allow these digital creatures to react to visitors, while slowly pulsating light rods create a dynamic and playful atmosphere at night. the theater of lost species by future cities lab is on exhibit at the YBCA ‘dissident futures’ show, oct 18, 2013 – feb 2, 2014. a custom steel chasis connects all the pieces and is bolted to the ground. the interactive components are being programmed in processing, arduino, python and ruby.
The Institute For Figuring // Evolving Out of the Virtual Mud. MW: In part this is supposed to be an educational tool.
What specifically do people learn here? EB: Sodaconstructor has a good deal of Newtonian mechanics built into it. But perhaps the more interesting thing that can be learned is the more transferable skill of how it’s possible to create or invent through a process of trial and error. In terms of pedagogy, we’re building on the idea of learning through a constructivist style, seeing knowledge as something that people have to actively build in their own heads and that building artifacts can be a good way of building knowledge. In sodaconstructor, if the first thing you construct is a square and you press “simulate” that’s probably going to fall flat on the ground.
DESIGN STUDIO PRO - The American Made Car Builder Video. Kinetic Architecture: Designs for Active Envelopes. Kinetic Architecture: Designs for Active Envelopes is a book about energy.
We have written it to explore the new ways architecture has developed in the last decade to respond to the flow of energy, both natural and man-made, that primarily affects building performance and the comfort of the people in them. Buildings regulate energy flow in several ways, but in this book we explore the approaches that innovative architects, engineers, and consultants have taken with building envelopes, façades, and other types of enclosures that modulate the internal environment of architecture to various ends. Architects have expressed this regulation in ways both visible and invisible, using the media of air, water, and the thermal mass of a variety of materials, and often a combination of all three.
That said, this is not just another book about sustainability. Metaballs. Metball modelling rests on the polygonization of an isosurface.
The isosurface is defined as the set of all points in space where the force function is precisely equal to some chosen constant threshold. The polygonization of the surface is a set of polygons which attempt to aproximate the form of the surface to the best of their resolution. The surface is not guaranteed to be accurate; shapes on the surface that fall below the resolution of the polygon mesh will not be represented accurately. But overall, polygonization is an effective way of displaying the isosurface, and so care must be taken to compute the polygon mesh as quickly and accurately as possible. Aesthetica Speeds New Opel to Car of the Year. By Neil McLeod When the new Opel/Vauxhall Insignia from GM Europe won the 2009 European Car of the Year (COTY) award from among a field of 37 contenders, judges agreed that an important contributor to their decision was the “high perceived quality” of the automobile.
Perceived quality describes the first impression a customer has of the look and feel of a product, without regard to its functionality. This visible high quality is an important differentiating factor among potential customers for deciding which products and brands they will consider purchasing, and it is a key component of brand identity. Key to GM Europe’s success with the Insignia was its use of advanced manufacturing variation simulation and visualization software during the car’s development. Rhino con ñ » Blog Archive » Sobre 4 ruedas. Dec 26 En el diseño de transportes existen softwares específicos, como por ejemplo Icem Surf y StudioTools de Alias (adquirido por Autodesk); sin embargo Rhino ha demostrado ser de gran utilidad para estos fines.
Este Callaway C16 diseñado y modelado en Rhino por Brio para General Motors se integra perfectamente y sin inconvenientes al modelo 3D de los interiores diseñados y modelados por GM en Pro/E (abajo) Pero fuera de la ingeniería dura para la fabricación seriada, también Rhino tiene aplicación para fines más lúdicos, pero no por eso menos rigurosos, ya que el siguiente modelo fue fabricado por máquinas CNC, para lograr estas réplicas a escala de los personajes de la película Cars. Durante bastante tiempo, el homepage de Rhino ha lucido el Saleen S7 de Phil Frank. Pero son varios los casos en los que Rhino ha sido la plataforma de modelamiento como BlackJag, Magnet, Pampa y Froilan. Glossary. NURBS Add A Curve To CAD Modeling.

Description: We are moving towards an a future where the terms “nature” and “technology” will not be seen as opposites. Natural systems are increasingly being augmented, modified, and hybridized by the hardware and software that enables contemporary life. Likewise, the systems we make are increasingly life-like. Our technologies are not quite alive, not sentient, but still resonate with a vital energy. In this context, I am interested exploring work that is both natural and technological. Parametric Architecture. We are attracted to parametric design as a resource with which it is possible to achieve efficiency and fidelity between the design concept and result of a project.
Through geometric and algorithmic relations, it also forms a bridge between traditional architectural production and new technological possibilities. At the moment, Zaha Hadid and J. MAYER H. are leading the way in parametric design.
