Grasshopper « Attitude Geometries Cellular Automata Building Propotional studies of a building facade. These videos shows an animation how to use the generative design methods in architecture and design. There are different initial cells at the bottom. Used Software: Rhinoceros, Grasshopper, RhinoScripting ( get the Cellular Automata component on My shared Grasshopper files ) Cylinder – Developable surfaces Developable surfaces are easy to use in the production process. Three cylindres intersect in one point. Component Pyramid on Surface Pyramids are placed and oriented on a surface. Lissajous 3D Figures Sine functions were plotted on x,y,z axis. Constant Cellular Automata Generator Constant Cellular Automata by multiplying a constant. You see diameters of the circles are changing. Get the Grasshopper ghx here: My shared Grasshopper files
LaN / LIVE ARCHITECTURE NETWORK AKT (Sawako & Panagiotis) « Scriptedbypurpose Sawako and Panagiotis at AKT Currently they are working as computational design researchers in Adams Kara Taylor based in London. They have worked on projects by well known architectural practices in the United Kingdom including Zaha Hadid Architects, Future Systems, and Foreign Office Architects in the development of architectural design involving complicated geometries. Our research aims in developing design solutions that respect criteria of structural efficiency and architectural intentions by interrogating the intrinsic properties of forms and their embedding space. Panagiotis Michalatos Studied Architecture at NTUA Athens Greece and graduated in 2001. Panagiotis worked as a programmer in the fields of interaction design and architecture and developed experimental computer games. Sawako Kaijima Her studies in MIT focused on developing design methodologies that aims to syntheses the multi-relational aspect of the design by means of digital computation. “sequence“
Achim Menges Design Research Architecture Product Design In 2010, the Institute for Computational Design (ICD) and the Institute of Building Structures and Structural Design (ITKE) designed and constructed a temporary research pavilion. The innovative structure demonstrates the latest developments in material-oriented computational design, simulation, and production processes in architecture. The result is a bending-active structure made entirely of extremely thin, elastically-bent plywood strips. Material computes. The research pavilion demonstrates an alternative approach to computational design: here, the computational generation of form is directly driven and informed by physical behavior and material characteristics. The computational design model is based on embedding the relevant material behavioral features in parametric principles. The structural analysis model is based on a FEM simulation.

2011 SM Computer Methods Pratt Institute , GAUD | Summer 2011 About: The course is a dense introduction to a suite/package of digital tools in the definition, generation and articulation towards the creation an architectural product. Using each students’ respective studio project, the course will expand upon ideas and techniques explored through a series of instructional demonstrations, workshops and critiques. Students question how and why we use digital media in the practice of architecture (in both the profession and academia). Furniture Design Informed by Gaudi’s Parabolic Structures / Studio Bram Geenen The design follows methods used by Gaudi for his church projects. This specific approach involved hanging the chains upside-down, showing the most opportune rib disposition and letting the gravity determine the strongest shape for the future building. Used in the chair design, the chain-models are combined with a software script to generate the structure of the ribs, informing of the complexity of the forces in a chair’s backrest. The chair is created by Studio Bram Geenen, for their online Open Design Platform. The project was developed as part of the Furnistructures initiative, which involves extensive researches into structural systems, as found in nature and architecture, and the possibilities of designing lightweight furniture using such systems.

10 Design Zmianatematu by xm3 The timber stalactites of an undulating cave-like ceiling bear down around the bar of a coffee shop in Łódź, Poland. Light bulbs dangle from between the curved plywood ribs of the Zmianatematu cafe, which was designed by Polish architects xm3. Shelves are slotted between ridges in the wall, behind a bar that is also made from the ribbed timber. Patches of plaster are visible on walls, which are intentionally left unfinished. Planes of glass atop wavy plywood grids provide coffee tables. Other interiors on Dezeen featuring slatted timber ceilings include a restaurant with a fanning tree-like canopy and a ski resort cafe with timber lattice partitions. Photography is by Paulina Sasinowska. Here are some more details from xm3: Restaurant: "zmianatematu.”, Piotrkowska 144, Łódź The city of Łódź located in the centre of Poland is one of three biggest cities in the country. The restaurant is located in the very centre of Łódź - on the most important street in the city - Piotrkowska.

Tutorial12 : The Attractor Concept Interior (image breakdown) Every now and then we get commissioned by our clients to create visuals for their projects that are in a very initial design stage, where there would be not only no 3D models supplied, (not even basic ones), but what is even more striking but as well more challenging and exciting – they might not even have proper architectural drawings (plans, elevations,etc.) yet produced, so constructing a 3D model would be a tedious and time consuming process. So, as it is the case with this current example- a visual we’ve completed recently for Gensler, all we got from them as a brief was only this sketch: And if it is a nicely constructed one – that is, in the right proportions, scale and perspective, then what we would do is grab it and throw it straight into Photoshop where, overlaying pieces of photography and using matte painting /digital paining techniques, we would be able to come up with results similar to the one you see below: You can watch the quick breakdown video here: Thanks for watching!
Offices We have yet to experience anything even closely equal to our incredible six days at Castello di Reschio in Umbria. So it should not have come as a surprise to us that their office building would turn out to be stunning as well. But it just feels somehow unfair that some people really do get to call this restored 1940s tobacco processing factory as their everyday office. Late last summer, Count Benedikt Bolza, the talented managing director and chief architect of the Castello di Reschio estate, and his team finished the restoration of the estate’s tobacco factory building so that the estate offices, design studio, workshops and exhibitions could move in. Heritage and history are exquisitely balanced with contemporary style and cool elegance, yet the space does not feel pretentious or contrived. Part of the reason for this is that Bolza left several key elements of the industrial building intact.
Dalian Planning Museum / 10 Design The design for the new Dalian Planning Museum by 10 Design in Dalian, China is envisioned to become a new civic sculpture at the heart of the city’s main governmental district. The building is part of the first steps made by the Planning Bureau to promote landmark architecture in Dalian with an additional seven municipal civil projects, including a library, scientific center, urban planning exhibition, museum, and teenage activity center. The Planning Building will serve as a modern, first-class venue for offices and exhibitions, and more importantly, an addition of cultural engagement for the public within the city. Follow us after the break to read about the building’s advanced technology. Project Description from the Architect: The form of the building takes inspiration from the nautical influences and seeks to become a symbol of technological progress and green evolution.
