3d fractals edinburgh SCOTLAND suckerPUNCH: describe your project. tom BEDDARD: It is an exploration into the relatively new field of 3D fractals. I write my own software to render a new set of mathematical algorithms that generate 3D structures with unlimited detail. I find it fascinating to investigate the resulting wide range of structures ranging from the natural and organic to geometric and artificial, especially as appear from purely mathematical space. sP: what or who influenced this project? tB: I’ve always been drawn to the aesthetics of detail and intricacies and as a programmer generative and mathematical art has been natural attraction. sP: what were you reading/listening to/watching while developing this project? tB: I’ve been working on this software on and off for the past year so I couldn’t say anything specific here. sP: whose work is currently on your radar?
Data Tree Utilities: Match Path and Partial Flatten In the coming weeks, I am planning to release some clusters I've put together for use, and I thought I'd start with two that correspond to common operations I perform on data trees. The first, Match Path, takes a flat list of data with N items, and another list of data with N items with some kind of arbitrary tree structure. The output is the first flat list, reconfigured to match the path structure of the input list. I was inspired to create this one by a post on the Grasshopper board by Arie-Willem de Jongh (here). The second, Partial Flatten, takes a set of data with a tree structure and flattens the N lowermost levels of hierarchy. This has been requested a number of times as a built-in feature on the GH board - (see this thread for one example) but until it's implemented this cluster will have to do. download both clusters here:
parasitic insertions los angeles CALIFORNIA suckerPUNCH: describe your project blake BETHARDS: The Los Angeles basin rests above the third largest oil deposit in the United States. During the late 1800’s and into the 1950’s, oil derricks and wells were visible throughout much of LA County (Venice beach, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Long Beach, & Pasadena). Today, much of this infrastructure has been taken down as drilling technologies have improved and in order to accommodate the high demand for property in the region. What most Angeleno’s don’t know is that there are still several dormant derricks hidden within the city, concealed behind false walls or within nondescript buildings. This speculative project endeavors to answer the question: what might happen if this infrastructure were revealed? sP: what or who influenced this project? bB: Tronic Studios, Dvein Studios, Steve Pike, Preston Scott Cohen sP: what were you reading/listening to/watching while developing this project?
Parametric Joint Quick post about a metal joint design that is modeled parametrically. In a workshop course about structural design led by Renato Garcia, we are asked to research on joints. My group have decided to look at how custom joints are designed. This is particular interesting as we see more and more of them in new designs because of the desire to realize free form surfaces, it is common to see the construction of a structural framework composed of a mesh constructed with linear steel members, the joint conditions is particularly complex because it usually receives multiple linear elements from varying angles and pitches connecting to one point. We have took reference from two buildings, Zaha’s Guangzhou Opera House and Yas Hotel in Abu Dhabi. It is interesting to model such design parametrically with the flexibility to change the dimensions and connection angles. Yas Hotel Guangzhou Opera House The two design have a different connection method. The script is shared here: joint.3dm Joint A01.ghx
Edible Infrastructures: Seed for a City London, UNITED KINGDOM CENTER FOR URBAN FARMING COMPETITION Second Place – $800 suckerPUNCH: describe your project. Darrick BOROWSKI / Jeroen JANSSEN / Nicoletta POULIMENI : Edible Infrastructures: Seed for A City We propose a neighborhood to serve as a Center for Urban Farming for Brooklyn and the greater New York City region. This new neighborhood type is organized around edible infrastructures, a systems-based approach to the food production, distribution, consumption and waste cycles. The Center as Neighborhood transcends the traditional institutional model to become a working community illustrating by example how the food system could be re-imagined via a new urban morphology which: a.) The neighborhood is generated by our Settlement Simulation, a computational model based on a multi-state cellular automata. sP: what or who influenced this project? sP: what were you reading/listening to/watching while developing this project? sP: whose work is currently on your radar?

Grasshopper script help? Hi I am trying to get this script to work. I am a new user of grasshopper. I found this image at this site I tried copying the steps as I see them. Is there some script already available which does the following? Tags: ▶ Reply to This
