Curve to Surface « PARAMETRIC[ation] _ motion analysed - person walking up stairs There are three curves that were chosen to represent a person walking up a stairs; the motion of each of the legs and the motion of a person’s head. The curves from the legs overlap each other and skip a step each time while the curve from the head is a continuous one that moves in the same motion at each every step. By taking these curves and shifting the top curve down, I have chosen to develop a model that has two different surfaces defined by the head motion on the top and the feat motion on the bottom. _ curve analysis

designcoding Maybe a huge kitsch for contemporary architecture, I know, but a good example of a fundamental problem of constructing geometric relationships. In ARCH362 today, we’ve examined the geometric modeling process that opens us parametric relationships just by converting it into a diagram of design history. You may follow the construction of such a diagram step by step and see the possible parameters emerged from it. Only rule of this construction is the connection from the left side of the component (node) represents an input to that node, and the connection from the right side of the component represents an output of that node. A couple of numbers are the input of a “polygon” node, while the output of that node is a curve (the polygon). Then, this goes on as we use that emerged curve as an input of a loft “node”.

sophiebosworth Maps are beautiful. The fusion of information, art and science creates a visual device for making sense of the world. Maps provide structure and so give confidence in the unknown, and it is this ability to bring order to chaos which many artists have translated metaphorically to narrate the imagination. Maps and data visualisation are two things that I really love, and this beautiful combination forms the subject of Cartograms - a delicious bit of vocabulary which is defined by ‘A presentation of statistical data in geographical distribution on a map’, yum.

My host sister got into teaching institute to become an English teacher or translator and my host parents were celebrating their twentieth wedding anniversary. I am so happy for all of them and we had an amazing time. It was the same as a lot of other toy’s (parties), much vodka was drank, soup eaten, and dances danced. But this was certainly a special night and I was very happy to be a part of it. Filed under 58

And it goes without saying, that I am sure I even missed a few others, too. A Declaration of Immigration at the National Museum of Mexico Art in Chicago. Declaration of Immigration Human progress having been comprised by the lack of humanity and respect towards immigrant children, women, & men by anti-immigrant legislature & rhetoric, is reason for the National Museum of Mexico Art to re-affirm the following:
