Computer Lays the Prettiest Brick Walls Since Eladio Dieste
Images by Jessica Rosenkrantz One of the oldest green building materials known to humankind, bricks have great thermal mass and last almost forever.To be fair, the ‘hand’ doing the crafting is in fact the extremity of a robotic arm, in turn connected to a highly advanced computer construction – still, the effect is incredibly convincing: these bricks look like they were manually stacked by someone with a great deal of time and expertise on their hands, able to curve them not just in a two-axis wave but in a complex three-dimensional fashion. The robot itself is the aesthetic opposite of its creations, so far installed for display in cities like Venic and New York. The technology is transported in a functional, bare-bones shack-on-wheels structure from which the single arm arcs out to lift and place linear pieces to slowly form incredible curves. So what are the odds of you hiring this robotic helper to build your next house (or at least a stunning brick fence to surround your home)?

JavaScript
JavaScript ( JS ) is an interpreted computer programming language . It was originally implemented as part of web browsers so that client-side scripts could interact with the user , control the browser, communicate asynchronously , and alter the document content that was displayed. JavaScript is a prototype-based scripting language that is dynamic , weakly typed , and has first-class functions . Its syntax was influenced by the language C . JavaScript copies many names and naming conventions from Java , but the two languages are otherwise unrelated and have very different semantics. The key design principles within JavaScript are taken from the Self and Scheme programming languages. [ 6 ] It is a multi-paradigm language, supporting object-oriented , [ 7 ] imperative , and functional [ 1 ] [ 8 ] programming styles.
Rhino is an open source JavaScript engine . It is developed entirely in Java and managed by the Mozilla Foundation .

Autodesk Revit Architecture
Autodesk Revit is Building information modeling software for architects and engineers. It allows users to design a building and its components in 3D , annotate the model with 2D drafting elements and access building information from the building models database.
Grasshopper™ is a visual programming language developed by David Rutten at Robert McNeel & Associates. [ 1 ] Grasshopper runs within the Rhinoceros 3D CAD application. Programs are created by dragging components onto a canvas. The outputs to these components are then connected to the inputs of subsequent components. Grasshopper is used mainly to build generative algorithms. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Many of Grasshoppers components create 3D geometry. [ ex 1 ] Programs may also contain other types of algorithms including numeric, textual, [ ex 2 ] audio-visual [ ex 3 ] and haptic applications. [ ex 4 ] "Popular among students [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] [ 8 ] [ 9 ] and professionals, [ 10 ] [ 11 ] McNeel Associate’s Rhino modelling tool is endemic in the architectural design world. The new Grasshopper environment provides an intuitive way to explore designs without having to learn to script." [ 12 ] —AEC Magazine

3D rendering is the 3D computer graphics process of automatically converting 3D wire frame models into 2D images with 3D photorealistic effects or non-photorealistic rendering on a computer. [ edit ] Rendering methods Rendering is the final process of creating the actual 2D image or animation from the prepared scene.
3D rendering
In 3D computer graphics , 3D modeling is the process of developing a mathematical representation of any three-dimensional surface of object (either inanimate or living) via specialized software . The product is called a 3D model . It can be displayed as a two-dimensional image through a process called 3D rendering or used in a computer simulation of physical phenomena. The model can also be physically created using 3D printing devices.

Graphic design
Graphic design is a creative process, one most often involving a client and a designer, and traditionally completed in conjunction with producers of form (printers, sign makers, etc.). In the 21st century, however, graphic design may be applied directly to websites, eliminating the need for an intermediary. Graphic design is undertaken to convey a specific message (or messages) to a targeted audience, usually from the client, known as the 'brief'. The term "graphic design" can also refer to a number of artistic and professional disciplines that focus on visual communication and presentation.Comparison of 3D computer graphics software

Computer-aided design
Example: 2D CAD drawing Example: 3D CAD model Computer-aided design ( CAD ) is the use of computer systems to assist in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design . [ 1 ] CAD software is used to increase the productivity of the designer, improve the quality of design, improve communications through documentation, and to create a database for manufacturing. [ 2 ] CAD output is often in the form of electronic files for print, machining, or other manufacturing operations.3D computer graphics software refers to programs used to create 3D computer-generated imagery . This article covers only some of the software used. 3D modelers allow users to create and alter models via their 3D mesh. Users can add, subtract, stretch and otherwise change the mesh to their desire. Models can be viewed from a variety of angles, usually simultaneously.
