Parametric Truss - Grasshopper

Parametric Truss - Grasshopper

Grasshopper fundamentals Parametric modeling from beginner to intermediate 2014 December 1-3 14.45-17.45 UTC = 15.45-18.45 CET = 09.45-12.45 EST = 06.45-09.45 PST Instructors Ilaria Giardiello, Giulio Piacentino This course is meant for every designer, engineer and architect who wants to get a solid basis of generative and parametric modeling within their Rhino workflow. During these three days and the last assessment session, we will explore and build structures in parametric space, embodied in geometrical entities (curves, surfaces) and using algorithmic patterns. Every step will be supported with exercises of gradually increasing complexity. Quick description The class is taught in English, fully online in 3 sessions of 3 hours each and an additional online assessment. Registrations The course is tutored by geometrydepth.com and organized by Piacentino Consulenze Snc. Contact us Contact us for any additional information at any time! Sale! Grasshopper Fund.

A solid waffle for laser cutting. This script is aim to take in a BRep polysurface solid for generating a laser cutting file. It can handle hollow forms, cantilevering masses and can generally take more complex geometry then the usual section plane-section curve algorithm. This is because of an operation which determines the middle point for notch/slot to happen, instead of the usual fixed height notching. Ideal script to generate massing models for complex geometries.It uses a global coordinate grid to determine cutting plates location, which allows two adjoining form to be baked separately while cutting plates matching across the two form.Best used in mm scale. This is not a simple script, not intend for general purpose.The script still relies on solid Boolean operations, thus limited to what Rhino 'can Boolean'. I'll add more description about the script later when I have more time.I attached a form testing file, which you can play with some forms that I've sketched.

Paramod 2011 / W07 / Student Examples Here are some results of fourth homework. An animate design sketch of a roof structure. Yağız, Deniz and Sacha created animated results; Derya and Sacha proposed conventional approaches to create “openings” by animating geometries. However, that does not meet the requirement of structural (and logical) intentions of the design problem. Unless some very high-tech materials were introduced to design. This exercise showed us that in any design process, animated approach does not simply refer to an uncontrolled motion.

We are now working on a second phase in which will be involved construction companies to test and validate the method. This study does not revolutionize the current paneling methods, but the approach is quite new. In the continuing research of complex and original architectural shapes, at certain point, in order to help the construction process and to maintain the costs on a reasonable level, we have to follow two different ways. Objective The objective of this study is to define a tool in Grasshopper/Rhino which allows creating and manipulating on a free form surface (input) different type of paneling (output). Observation In nature there are many examples of tiling, and by the evolutionary process nature use “geometrical tricks” to achieve the best solution.

Parametrics | Pratt Institute Interior Design 659 class blog | Page 19 Group- Myself and Ajitha. I came up with this idea of a Parametric Threshold- A THRESHOLD THAT DEFINES THE MOMENT OF TRANSITION. Ajitha’s idea was of parametric skin light clusters. After the class discussion we zeroed down on the Threshold idea. My inspiration for the pattern on the skin was from the traditional Indian ‘Jali’ system- Latticed screen, usually with an ornamental pattern constructed through the use of calligraphy and geometry. Extensively used in Indian and Mughal Architecture. I started on working out the parametric trusses with what we did in class and the help of the tutorial . Here are some ideas for the location and form for the canopy. Here is another one of our concepts for the canopy. I team with Justin and Edeline. This is one of the ideas of our group.
