Geometry Gym Space Symmetry Structure grasshopper « On April 3-4, I had the pleasure of co-teaching a computational design and fabrication workshop together with Gonçalo Castro Enriques (X-REF) at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Porto (FAUP), Portugal. The 2-day workshop, titled “Performative Morphologies“, was Roambi - The Pulse Of Your Business, In The Palm Of Your Hand
LaN / LIVE ARCHITECTURE NETWORK transframing Mesecina - computational geometry you can see The Scale Axis Transform A new skeletal structure has been designed with the support of Mesecina. You can find the formal definition and discussion about its behaviour including topological proofs in the paper on "The Scale Axis Transform" page. Additionally you can check out a video about the scale axis -- results are generated with an extended (yet unreleased) version of Mesecina. Web application Mesecina inspired Yang Chenglin to implement a cool web gadget which is great to get to know computational geometry constructs. Paper The manuscript containing the proofs for the structural results visualized in the SoCG 2007 video is available for download: Joachim Giesen, Balint Miklos, Mark Pauly: The Medial Axis of the Union of Inner Voronoi Balls in the Plane. Download The Windows binaries of Mesecina are available for download. SoCG Video Visit the Images page to see dozens of interesting, colorful figures created with Mesecina. About Mesecina
Grasshopper Modules - Proxy Wiki From Phylogenesis, FOA 2003 The following Grasshopper modules were created in consultation with FOA's Phylogenesis, in particular the taxonomy of forms found at the conclusion of the book. Grasshopper is an exciting and evolving modeling platform - the following examples attempt to develop a range of geometric examples to explore its form-making potentials. Andrew Payne, a GSAPP alum, has created a comprehensive primer on Grasshopper that can be found here. You should have this handy for reference. Helpful Modules These modules are provided to supplement Grasshopper with a few simple features. Truss Module Grasshopper 3D Truss This module creates an offset truss from a given surface. Point Topology The simplest form of data to work with, points can be propagated into 3D space and can have geometry mapped to them. A Matrix is a 3-Dimensional point set, interpreted as a field of voxels. Download Rhino File Matrix.3dmDownload Grasshopper definition Example-Matrix.ghx Line Topology
aThematics Parametricism - A New Global Style for Architecture and Urban Design back to WRITINGS Parametricism - A New Global Style for Architecture and Urban Design Patrik Schumacher, London 2008 Published in: AD Architectural Design - Digital Cities, Vol 79, No 4, July/August 2009, guest editor: Neil Leach, general editor: Helen Castle Abstract: Though parametricism has its roots in the digital animation techniques of the mid-1990s, it has only fully emerged in recent years with the development of advanced parametric design systems. Parametricism has become the dominant, single style for avant-garde practice today. There is a global convergence in recent avant-garde architecture that justifies the enunciation of a new style: Parametricism.
