NODE10 - Forum for Digital Arts - Welcome **SOFTlab | LAB** We are working on an installation called CHROMAtex that is set to open at the Bridge Gallery on August 26th. The piece is comprised of over 4400 separate colorful panels. It is being made possible by all of our kind and generous friends who have donated to our Kickstarter page… Follow along, watch for updates and donate if you feel like it! So far the list of communal GH thanks extends to the following (the definition’s not quite done yet… there may be more people to thank in the end): Chris Chalmers of BIOS : Unrolling Surfaces in Grasshopper @ [ u t o ] : Mesh Analysis and Utility Component Giulio Piacentino : Grasshopper tools in C# : txtLines Damien Alomar : JPEG file output consultation To read more click on read more.
kube labs | Software//Hardware//Craftware Digital Technology Architecture Lab research » Grasshopper mesh relaxation component [update] Mesh Relaxation plugin update A mesh relaxation component based on a force density algorithm. The component used a mesh, rather than a brep, determines it’s naked (lose) edges and relaxes the mesh nodes.Second release of a grasshopper component. V1.02 changelist - added a component for building a quad mesh out of lines. - added icons for all the components - please make sure to delete the old .gha from you library folder All of this woudnt be possible without the inspiration and some components from: - Jon Mirtschin : / - Ursula Frick & Thomas Grabner: - Giulio Piacentino : and it’s Weaverbird component: Some of the examples and scripts i have included in the package use Giulio Piacentino’s Weaverbird and uto’s mesh tools. please be sure to have them installed for the script to properly work.
Organicités Piraeus Tower A perforated skin, non-structural, which reacts to the environment – such as the views and the noise – in the 2 dimensions of the grid and to the sun in the 3rd dimension, with its thickness changing according to the size of the perforations. Analysis of the views, looking at the parc, the entrance of the port, the mountains and the acropolis. Each facade look at two of these objects. The same kind of analysis was made for the noise around the tower. On the upper drawings we can see all the analysis together, with also the projection of the surrounding buildings on the facade. Here the deformed grid, which follow attractors points determined by the results of the analysis. An idea of what could be this deformed grid, with the first try of connecting punctually the different surfaces. The perforated skin would be built out of smaller elements, prefabricated and in composite material. The repartition of these different prefabricated pieces.
Parametric design | >> ParaMaterial. Seminar + Workshop “Design through Systems Thinking Informed by Materials” . 01 I gave a seminar and run a workshop* titled “Design through Systems Thinking Informed by Materials” at the Istanbul Technical University, Graduate School of Architecture as a part of the course Computer Application in Architecture. The proposed approach aims to create a method based on systems thinking by referencing nature in order to generate a fundamental base of computational design. Students should explore design through material systems in a holistic manner.

process-work « Studio Two – Relational Architecture Laying out the industrial program on site in accordance to different degrees of flexibility and requirements of the elements. This is the first of 3 drawings showing the individual approaches of users, planting and industry. These drawings will then be over layered to form a specific site strategy. Page looking at the requirements for ethanol / vodka production, I have chosen to manipulate the process structure in such a way as to place unusual elements in close proximity to each other. This reflects the users of these spaces whom would not usually be found sharing place. unfinished site analysis, drawing will be removed and replaced when drawing is finished but is up for feedback. my intension is to add users onto this drawing and explain the existing conditions. relationships between the users will then be mapped out on a different sheet and then additional users may be proposed. choosing a site March 26, 2007 choosing a site from parametric data analysis collected around the ring road.
Blog : Twisted Architecture - StumbleUpon I didn’t set out to tie knots in Norman Foster’s Hearst Tower or wrinkle his Gherkin, but I got carried away. It’s one of the occupational hazards of working with Mathematica. It started with an innocent experiment in lofting, a technique also known as “skinning” that originated in boat-building. I wanted to explore some three-dimensional forms, and a basic lofting function seemed like a quick ticket to results. I dashed off the function Loft, which takes a stack of three-dimensional contours and covers it with a skin of polygons. Loft uses Mathematica‘s GraphicsComplex primitive to factor out the geometries of the polygons from their topologies. I tried out Loft by embedding it in a Manipulate, and was happily on my way discovering some interesting new forms. Even this trivial parameterization of a scaled and twisted half-sphere yields an amazing variety of forms, each of which suggests interesting avenues to explore. I wondered how convincingly I could model the Gherkin in Mathematica.
