Generating Isopotential Maps

The experiment investigates generative processes for Isopotential Maps.

Considering a surface as input (it will be assumed as basic field) and a series of "n" attractors the GH definition will individuate a series of curves which describe the field of forces operating on the area.

The definition, developed in cooperation with Andrea Graziano, allows to manipulate "n" attractors as a sort of electric charges. You can decide the charge's value (positive or negative) and… Continue

Project Kangaroo - Live 3D Physics for Rhino/Grasshopper

Project Kangaroo - Live 3D Physics for Rhino/Grasshopper from Daniel Piker on Vimeo.

Very early tests of my new project - a Physics engine working within Grasshopper and Rhino and allowing real-time interaction.

The intention is that the various types of form-finding and feedback this allows could inform and enable some new ways of designing… Continue

Inspiration - Grasshopper as information tool

a very cool site of visualized information and images:

Visual Complexity

visualcomplexity.com

In terms of 'scripting' programs used, processing seems to be popular for these types of visualizations. But I think grasshopper would be a more accurate and methodological process of achieving these types of images?!

Any thoughts or examples?

Bake and illustrate!… Continue

Parametric Biodome in Chester

Hi everyone,

Here is the project i have been working on for the past 10 months at Proctor and Matthews Architects, we have just submitted the planning application:

http://www.architectsjournal.co.uk/5212434.article

Once completed it will be the largest freeform gridshell in the world.

Most of the roof structure has been worked out using Grasshopper.

Thanks a lot to everyone who helped on this… Continue

Weaving Patern on Surface

My last exploration on weaving stuff ended up in this Grasshopper definition which alters a given surface to a woven one in a simple weave pattern.

It is done via dividing it to it's U and V points ,then I had to rearrange them into separate U and V data trees. Moving the points up and down relating to their own normal vectors through a little scripting was the last job done.

Below is… Continue
