STUCTURE DESIGN AL BAHAR TOWERS LOCATED IN ABU DHABI Towers Al Bahar were designed by Aedas Architects, in collaboration with Arup Engineers, The Hexagonal shapes are responsive to the sun and they open or close depending on the suns Orientation during the day.

PRECEDENT STUDY
ORIGINAL PSEUDO CODE 1. Create three lines on X or Y axis 2.Loft lines to create surface 3. Divided X and Y lines on surface to create sub surface. 4. Assign points to “outer corner points” 5. Created orthogonal lines and set midpoint (0.50) creating outer center points. 6. Create series of polygon shapes on surface 7.Find polygonal center 8. Divide polygon and create lines using outer corner outer midpoints and P center 9. Develop sub-surfaces within polygon 10. Rotate subsurface on relevant axis 11.Deconstruct subsurface triangle shape 12. Find points that need to be lofted or merged to fill in gaps in between two triangle shapes ALINA DEJESUS -MOHAMED YAKOOB

RHINO/GRASSHOPPER DESIGN PSEUDO CODE 1-12 the same as previous pseudo code 13. find center point on new fillet surface. with slider at (0.5) 14. simplify by removing overlap shared data amongst all branches using a simplify tree component. 15. simplify data down to seven points that correspond to original triangular shaped geometry. 16. merge all seven points using a merge command and prepare to connect with Revit using “Chamelion� plugin. 17. Design triangular adaptive component on revit with seven corresponding points from grasshopper. 18. Generate geometry on revit by using parameters from grasshopper and load in to Revit Project. 19. Create desired new building shape on Rhino, loft as required. 20. Set parameters using grasshopper. 21. Map facade on new Building surface.

RHINO/GRASSHOPPER DESIGN PARAMETRIC DESIGN Like our Precedent study Towers Al Bahar Towers our design will have a facade that is responsive to the sun. Depending on where the sun is located the Facade will open or close to reduce glare within the building as well as to keep the building cool depending on extreme climate changes.

CHAMELEON MOVING INFORMATION INTO REVIT To connect the grasshoper design we had to merge all seven points using a merge command and prepared the connection with Revit using “Chamelion” plugin. We then designed a triangular adaptive component on revit with seven corresponding points from grasshopper. We then generated the geometry on revit by using the parameters from grasshopper and loaded it into Revit Project.

REVIT MODEL REVIT MODEL our revit model has a height of 820 with a potential of 82 floors depending on the floor heights. The facade is made of glass and pipes and it will react depending where the direction of the sun is.

DESIGNING OUR FLOOR PLANS
To design our floor plans we used our precedent study Al Bahar Towers. We used the idea that they used when it came to having a core in the middle of the building that had elevator shafts and staircases.

COMPARISON
COMPARING BOTH MODELS SIMILARITIES The designs on both programs are similar in the way that they both work with the same parametric shape. The triangle with 7 points. DIFFERENCES
REVIT MODEL ALINA DEJESUS -MOHAMED YAKOOB
RHINO MODEL ARCH-3996
They are different in the way the way each was designed. in Revit we had to make an adaptive component that would be able to read the points that were coming from the grasshopper definition. Revit has more of a structural design with the pipes to hold the glass together. in Grasshopper it is more of a massing model of the structure.
