Adaptive Component Systems Tutorials and Work

Hey all - take a look at http://blogs.cornell.edu/adaptivesystems/ to see the work of several semesters of Prof. Dana Cupkova's Adaptive Component Systems course, which deals with the development of systems combining parametrically-driven metal prefabrication and new sustainable technologies. The blog features video tutorials, student projects, and downloads of example definitions. Of particular note is the Radiance-to-Grasshopper… Continue

Spatial Truss (WIP): Knot selection

Knot selection routine completed.

Now, we can select each Top Knot by its Index Number and all lines arriving at it, for fabrication purposes.

Also, this will be usefull when the time come to bake geometry of a very large spatial truss.

We'll be able to bake knots one by one, avoiding the burden of baking hundreds of knots at once...

Next:

1. Do the same for the Base Knots

2. Do the same for each bar

3. Diagonal…

Spatial Truss (WIP) next

Next steps:

1. Make each Apex height a function of the medium of Base Trusses.
2. Finish the Select/Bake mechanism for each knot: Each knot should be selectable together all lines arriving at it, for knot fabrication.

Spatial Truss (WIP)

As part of an ongoing research on parametrics, this definition is our first attempt to understand the solution to an old problem in spatial structures.

Here it goes: Tetra.Tesselation.07.ghx

What it does: from a set of curves (might be splines, straight lines or closed plines or splines) it generates a lofted surface, subdivides it into an U&V grid and constructs a spatial…

Math plug-in for Grasshopper

I developed a GH definition that works as Jess Maertterer's Math plug-in.
So it creates surfaces starting from their parametric equations.

I'm glad that yesterday I presented my work to Jess at Rome, at the end of his lecture, and he did appreciate it!

surface deformation using GraphMapper

GH tool to manipulate a four-point surface with the GraphMapper.

I'll attach the file in the comment. (I fail to discover how to attach a file in this blog)

Let me know what you think of it!

Frederick Kiesler: New Harmony to Houston

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

University of Houston Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture Auditorium

What started as a studio project to rethink Frederick Kiesler’s unbuilt Grotto for Meditation has turned into an opportunity for scholarship and design. The unveiling of the digitally fabricated New Harmony Grotto is the first installation of a two tier project that will culminate in the publication of a forthcoming book. Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of… Continue

Urbanism Attractor Technique

This urbanism approach was developed using grasshopper. This technique can use any surface and an attractor point to generate a series of towers and courtyards. The technique subdivides the surface and measures the distance between the centre-points and the attractor point. Surfaces nearer the attractor will produce a tower, whilst surfaces further away will produce a courtyard. This technique investigates housing typologies in Beijing and attempts to explore the relationship between modern… Continue
