Independent Study. Posted by LCSinopoli on April 6, 2012 Homepage and Concepts behind Galapagos: ‘Homepage’: Concepts: Grasshopper. (As reported earlier in this previous post) Daniel Piker is developing ways to accurately simulate physical behavior in his Grasshopper component "Kangaroo".

In the latest release there are tools for simulating bending geometry. This is nothing but a revolution for this investigation! Never before have I been able to recreate bending geometry so accurately in an "artificial way". At the moment Kangaroo works very accurately for 2d-bending with both fixed and hinged ends and also in 3d for rods. 3d-bending of developable surfaces is a little more tricky and requires a careful setup to make sure the surfaces stay developable. Kangaroo works in an iterative way by letting some predefined forces (like springs, bending resistance, pressure and gravity) affect the geometry, step by step, until (usually) a stable solution is reached.

Obleo Design Media Interview July 11, 2009 From Top Down to Bottom Up Featured article at Obleo Design Media ( by Brett Duesing About bottom-up design process through the parametric tool Design Thesis, Fall 2008 @ Cornell Architecture Critic : Michael Silver + Aleksandr Mergold.

Studio « Digital Fabrication in Architecture Group. Introduction The basis for my design was a deployable structure with the express purpose of aid relief.

Therefore, the development of my design was focused specifically towards three key issues: it had to be compact and easily transportable when in storage, quickly deployed with minimum of action, and stable when fully open. These three drivers would direct the formation of material, joints and assembly concerns. Jonas Bredel's Videos. Texas A&M University ARCH 689. LunchBox for Grasshopper. Designcoding. This is a starting point of pattern generation study in a dataflow environment.

Based on Hankin’s method of Islamic Pattern generations, I tried to simulate his process beginning with a basic regular tiling (regular hexagonal tessellation). This and other methods are explained in phD thesis of Craig S. Pattern Redux. Tutorials. [Sub]Code. This page is set up to host bits of codes and sample algorithms.

This definition is posted to aid the procedure of setting contour surfaces representing a geometry onto a planar sheet in order to get ready-made for digital fabrication.

The logic behind the definition is quite simple and the values explored are parametrically adjustable in order to fit most user cases. The definition was compiled using GH8.04 To download please visit the [Sub]Code page. MESH MAKER from Curves Intersection – Arthur Mani ltd.

GH hexagonal mesh 01. With this definition we can plot all kinds of patterns formed by planar closed curves on a surface with double curvature achieving this effect of skin with variable apertures depending on their distance to one or more points attractors.

Karamba 1.0.5 contains these new features: A simplified installation procedure. Iso- and stream-lines with user supplied values and vectors at mesh-vertices (unlimited mesh-size also in the FREE-version of Karamba). Benchmark examples with known results from literature for the evaluation of calculation […] This intensive 4 day design/fabricate/build workshop explored digital form-finding techniques to produce a series of scaled architectural prototypes for freestanding pavilion structures. Two student teams each developed a proposal through dynamic meshrelaxation processes to simulate the formation of a tensioned membrane structure. Candela Revisited The pavilion was designed by Zaha Hadid Architects London for the China International Architectural Biennal. Clemens Preisinger will be presenting karamba3d at the 4th Parametric Design Workshop in Leipzig from 5-9 December 2013.
