B.0 FEAR
Fear of Heights It’s the human condition, To need a mountain to climb, to desire to ascend the most perilous heights, And at the same time,
It’s perfect normal, to have a fear of heights, Because even Angels have fallen.”
- Wald1
Acrophobia Is A Widespread Phobia Which Affects Around 1 In 20 Adults2. In Simple Terms, It Is The Fear Of Heights. I Am Feared When I Look Down Side From High. I Am Terrified When I Look Up To High. I Am Dreaded When I Stay Near The Handrail At High Altitude. The Air At The High Position Makes Me Feel Scared. Every Cell In My Body Yells No When I Locate At High. 1.

B.1 PROCESS
Water droplets are the natural phenomenon in the world. Though in case the waterdrops have the same feeling as me, it would feel the fear of heights. The process describes the journey of the water-drops which have Acrophobia.

HERZOG DE MEURON - DE YOUNG MUSEUM
HERZOG DE MEURON - DE YOUNG MUSEUM IS A FINE ART MUSEUM WHICH LOCATED IN SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA. THE COPPER FAÃ&#x2021;ADE SHOWS THE PATTERNING EXPLAINING BY GRASSHOPPER DESIGN. I DID SOME CHANGE FROM THE ORIGINAL DEFINITION WHICH PROVIDES SOME DEEPER THINKING FOR ME ABOUT GRASSHOPPER.

THE EXPRESSION (X*Y+1) OF THE RADIUS OF THE CIRCLES ON SURFACE 1
THIS ITERATION LOOKS NOT AS MUCH DIFFERENT AS THE ORIGINAL. THOUGH, IT SHOWS HOW THE IMAGE BE USED AS ONLY ONE PARAMETER IN THE WHOLE DESIGN LIKE OTHER NUMBERS.
THIS ITERATION LOOKS A LITTLE BIT OUT OF CONTROL. ALTHOUGH, THE ORDER OF IT IS CLEAN AND EASY TO FIND. THAT IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF HOW THE PARAMETRIC DESIGN WORK.
THE EXPRESSION (X*Y*0.1) OF THE RADIUS OF THE CIRCLES ON SURFACE 2
THE RADIUS=0.3 OF THE TOP CIRCLES
I LIKE THESE TINY CIRCULAR TRUNCATED CONES SHOW IN THIS ITERATION WITH NO REASON. THE NUMBER SLIDE WOULD NOT MAKE THE CHANGE AS MANY AS THE EXPRESSION.
THE ONLY CHANGE OF THIS ITERATION IS THE RADIUS OF THE TOP CIRCLE OF THE CIRCULAR TRUNCATED CONES. THE SMALL INCREASE OFFERS A DIFFERENT LOOK OF THE WHOLE WORK.

B.3 CASE STUDY 2 CANTON TOWER IS THE WORLD’S TALLEST T V TOWER WHICH DESIGNED AND BUILT IN SIX YEARS AND OPENED BEFORE 2010 ASIAN GAMES IN GUANGZHOU, CHINA. THE CONCEPT OF THE TOWER IS A ‘SUPER MODEL’ WHICH IS SOPHISTICATED, TRANSPARENT, CURV Y, GRACIOUS AND SEXY. THE TWISTING ELLIPSES CREATE THE SHAPE. THE OPEN LATTICES AND NODES STRUCTURE THE BUILDING. COMPUTERIZED TECHNIQUES AFFORD THE POSSIBLE FOR THIS DESIGN TO BE REAL. I TRIED TO BUILD THE MODEL OF THE CANTON TOWER IN GRASSHOPPER IN B.3.

THE FIRST SPECIES IS FROM POINTS TO LINES TO MESHES. AFTER THAT, I ROTATED THE MESH AND MERGED ALL THE MESHES AS ONE. I USE THE WEAVERBIRD COMMANDS TO CREATE TO CREATE THE CHANGE OF THE MESH. THIS DEFINITION REPRESENTS THE WATER-DROPLETSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; JOURNEY. FROM SINGLE DROPLETS TO WATER FLOW, THEN THE WATER EVAPORATES TO THE SKY WHICH BECOMES CLOUDS LATER. IT CHANGED AFTER, BE RAIN, SNOW, HAIL AND OTHER FORMS WHICH ARE LIKE WHAT WEAVERBIRD DO IN GRASSHOPPER.

I DEVELOPED THE FIRST SPECIES TO GET THE FIRST PROPOSAL BY DECONSTRUCTING THE MESH I CREATED. FINALLY, I GET THIS INTERACTIVE SCULPTURE WHICH COULD LET PEOPLE LAY UNDER IT. THE PERSON WHO HAS A FEAR OF HEIGHT WOULD FEEL THE FEELING LIKE ME WHEN THEY LOOK UP FROM THE HOLE.

B.6 PROPOSAL 2 I KEEP HALF OF THE SURFACE FROM THE MIDDLE PART OF THE DEFINITION TO GET THIS DEVELOPMENT FROM THE SPECIES 2. IT BECOMES A SMALL BRIDGE WHICH SET ON THE WATER FLOW. IT JOINS EVERY PART OF THE WATER DROPLETSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; PROCESS IN SOME WAY.

B.7. LEARNING OBJECTIVES AND OUTCOMES
B.8. APPENDIX - ALGORITHMIC SKETCHES
art B of the Air Studio give me a chance to play P with the grasshopper. Even I am still not that proficient in using grasshopper, and I believe I have the deeper understanding than before.
ur group are looking the process of our fear first, then O translate it as grasshopper definition. It is marvellous when I first try to combine these commands. It is unpredictable for me what would output. Sometimes, I did some repetitive process in the grasshopper. After that, I understand that I have to understand the logic behind. No matter how crazy shapes it could create, the grasshopper is only the program control by the designers. The same process of our fear could be translated in the different definition in grasshopper. Therefore, I think for the further design, we still need to think what we what first. It is not necessary to think like the composition design, the parameter in the grasshopper would provide some interesting result after all.
he design from the process to grasshopper definition also T makes me think the importance to explain your work. To be honest, I think almost every command could be described as every process. How to clarify the relationship of the process and the definition is harder than playing with the program. It is the challenge for me which I should improve for the further study. It is significant even in work in the future. A good architect should be a good seller as well.
