I lovingly dedicate this thesis to ControlMad’s Team, who supported me each step of the way.

Formes modled by nature
source of inspiration
www.controlmad.com
choose the desert as my XY plane First sketch Serch ideas with tools
www.controlmad.com
Grasshopper definition

Start with a simple Mesh from 4 Points
www.controlmad.com
Improve the mesh with adding more points create a smooth Mesh
Assemblate Model for Karamba analysis Adding some anchor points to the Model
www.controlmad.com
Model analysed Form finding Karamba Structural analysis Cross sections optimization
www.controlmad.com
Forget about the first sketch and keep improve the geometrie
Make a contour for the analysed mesh
www.controlmad.com
Extract boundary edges
Make a patch
www.controlmad.com
Set to an untrimmed Patch
Trim the faces with the untrimmed Patch
www.controlmad.com
Trimed structure ( a series of breps )
Extract the intersection lignes between Breps
www.controlmad.com
Construct boxs on the inersection lignes
Make the difference betwen boxs and breps Pieces ready to cut
www.controlmad.com
Draw a curve on the position of anchors points Extrude curves
Make the difference between the extruded curves and the top surface

Explode mesh
Extract the normal of each mesh
Extract the solar vector (using Heliotrope)
www.controlmad.com
Calculate the dot product
Visualisation of th result
www.controlmad.com
Crearte a mesh according to the dot product result
More light = less holes
www.controlmad.com
Crearte a mesh according to a closed curve (passerelle)

Orient the geometrie (structure Breps) to the XY plane
Pieces ready to cut

3D model

change the first geometrie and some parameteres to improve the project
