algorithmic modeling for Rhino
As part of my thesis project researching Fabrication and Tectonics, I experimented with fabric formed concrete. Not only modelling it, but creating a viable fabrication process, then developing a vascular building skeleton to demonstrate its potential.

Interesting paper. Is there more documentation of your project? It would be interesting to see how you mediated these local optima.
haha i will take that as as compliment Daniel, though the screenshot paints an unflattering structural analogy. But it does look like my kind of game, downloading it now...
Cemal, Without trying to sound ambiguous, some of the points are totally defined by the architectural forms I wanted, some totally randomly, and finally some were inserted according to structural optimization def.
Adam, The skeleton is optimized, but instead of a single global optimum; structure. It is a balance of optimizing to many local optima, structure, lighting, spatial constraints, fabrication etc.
Dimitrie Stefanescu has written a fantastic short essay, on the nature of optimization. Which is far more articulate and interesting than me, give it a read if you have 15mins free
Looks nice, is there any logic in the point cloud or is it just random points?
great work!
Did you optimize the structure somehow? Or is it just relying on a network diagram?
*i forgot to mention the obvious final step of smoothing with weaverbird.
Thanks man, the skeleton works from a point cloud, where each point is connected to its neighbour, a basic force vector field analysis collects relevant data, then each node is lofted together. This one might explain it a bit more:

Very nice, just curious about the logic behind the skeleton? It is quite amazing if you only use GH without VB to achieve this kind of form. Again, very nice and congrats.
