The best hypertext tracts. Imagine it’s 1994: you’re wearing basically the same thing you’re wearing now, but things like ‘hyperlinks’ – something without which we cannot function today – are a wildly exciting phenomenon, if you even know what they are at all.

The best hypertext tracts

A couple of decades ago, new media artists and writers were blown away by the complexity not having to be grounded in space would afford them. Finally they would be free of the constraints of one-page-in-front-of-the-other. They could concentrate on narrative rather than the order in which it was presented. Things didn’t pan out exactly as planned. As it turns out, while linear time may be a construct, it’s a really handy construct to have. It’s true, then, that from certain angles it seems that e-lit and hypertext fiction have been relegated to quirky reaches of media theory, interesting only to literature PhDs patting themselves on the back for studying something of a recent century.

Welcome to designalyze.com. Somnium Workshop - Professional Training For Designers - Home page. Shortest Path. [GHX: 0.8.0066] This is the continuation of my scripting experiment within Grasshopper.

Shortest Path

Like minimum spanning tree algorithm, this is also a famous problem of computational geometry. I’m now coding faster and understanding the namespace easier in Grasshopper. This time, challenge was to implement Dijkstra’s algorithm of shortest paths. Again, it’s a quite useful algorithm, I even plan to use it in my current project. Although there is a faster alternative, Shortest Walk, I’m happy with this result. Grasshopper – RhinoScript.org.

Albums — Plaster. What is Curtainwall? Curtainwall is a term applied to a widely used facade technology for cladding large buildings. Curtainwall systems do not carry any dead loads imposed from the building structure, but instead are designed to support their self-weight and transfer horizontal loads (wind) incident upon them to the primary building structure. Curtainwall systems are typically “hung” from the building structure — from whence derives the “curtain” reference — and typically attached to the floor slabs. The primary functions of the curtainwall are to resist air and water infiltration and to provide a thermal barrier between inside and out.

Curtainwall systems are also designed to accommodate the complexities of deflections, thermal expansion and contraction, building sway and relative movements between floors as caused by wind or seismic loads acting globally or locally on the structure.
