o---FANCYWIRES--{>} The Geometry of Bending grasshopper | Computational Design Sandbox 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 Fabrication Grasshopper: Parametric CurvesThis module covers the basic parametric properties of curves along with common grasshopper methods for evaluating and dividing curves. ARCH 598 Summer 2011information >> n-formations FABRICS // LATTICES // FIELDSThis course is designed to introduce and explore computational design, algorithmic thinking, and digital manufacturing–both: the larger ramifications that emerging digital technologies and ideas are having architectural theory via readings, discussions, presentations; and the practical application of these ideas and tools through a series of hands-on, iterative modeling and fabrication assignments.

Unrolling Surfaces in Grasshopper | Bios Design Collective This Grasshopper definition is proof of concept for a VB component that unrolls developable surfaces to the XY plane. To make the component, I’ve adapted a rhinoscript by Andrew Kudless (of Matsys) to run in VB, enlisting the help of CCA student Ripon DeLeon to write the code.This example uses the VB component to create unrolled surfaces from 4 curves that I have distorted using the cage edit command in rhino. To use the definition on your own projects, simply choose any 4 curves to loft between in sequential order. The blocks of components are grouped somewhat clearly (I hope) so you can add more curves by copy-pasting more blocks and making the few required re-connections to make it work. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. For the above definition, I’ve added tabs along the edges of the unrolled surfaces for ease of attachment. Like this: Like Loading...
The Proving Ground by Nathan Miller first experiments in grasshopper « Growth Typologies lisa on 12|10|2011 Filled under: day-to-day, process Project: Fluent Gardens Hi! at first I have to introduce you to my “new” site. Actuelly I just turned my site down to north, still at the bottom of the botanic garden, but into an area which is relatively blank. I wanted to generate a system which is based on the connection of these two schools, a new botanic museum, and the botanic garden itself. Therefor I drawed this diagramm and used it in grasshopper. So pasted to grasshopper: The radius of the polygons is calculated from the brightness of the pixel. For the polygons of the buldings I used the negativ of the drawing. green plygons = public space (on elevated level)white polygons = buildings of the pedagogic center, botanic museum and others.empty space = public, circulation space on the ground level. How I want to go on: I will now search for an “intelligent” grid.
