Started with seven simplistic curves that were a subsidury of one another. Using the Grasshopper plug-in, I set them, and began lofting them using the loft tool. After 12 trials of manipulating the form, the original shape was unforeseen, and instead evolved into something completely different. The following thumbnail sketches, map out the various ‘baked’ shapes and examples of fluctuating geometry.

This task requires us to obtain information and data, in roder to create an algorithmic expression using Grasshopper and coupled with rhino. I decided to focus on a topic that would be specific to the site, which was a former shipyard, and using a combination of wind, and relating it to the calm of the water. I decided to specifically look at the location of LAGI for 2014, and used Copenhagen as a main objection for the data. Looking at graphs of data obtained from the internet (and relating it from the months of July December), i was able to draw differences and variations in the data gathered.
The first bit of information, looks at the month at which the wind speed and calm of water is being measured. The second focuses on the Wind speed itself, In orderr to accomodate for six months, i just copied and pasted the information six times, and ajusted it to suit. and the third is obviously the calm.

This included the use of the geodesic component as one of its main drivers, although there were also a range of generic grasshopper tools that were coupled along with it. I watched the provided video as a guide, and attempted to model it.

Using the patterning lists video as a resource, i attempted to create a patterning list parametric model, using a series of tools, but most importantly implementing the ‘voronoi’ component, i was able to create a varying grid patterns, reminiscent of a honeycomb! Of course there are many more possibilities when it comes to creating models like this. In order to give the pattern a little more dimension and depth, i implemented the component ‘offset’, as a way of creating multiple linework within the pattern.

E X P R E S S I O N S This video, focuses on the notion of using expressions to fuel the algorithmic outputs. These can be used in place of grasshopper components. These have been explored in conjunction with the expression evaluation components, as well as point charge components. Using curves and circle geometry as a way of populating the lofted surface, i was able to explore the lengths of generating a pattern along the surface . By using various number sliders, which were connected to the various components, i was able to manipulate the parameter values, and this was subjected through the use of an attractor point, which ascted as a way of pushing a pulling the various angles of the surfaces.
01
I would like to look at exploring the length of these platforms, and possibly adapting them into the Part B iterations, as it could relate to the action of the wind force, specific to the LAGI Copenhagen site. In a sense, points could be introduces where there is a strong entry force of wind, subjected to the weather condition sof the site.

Referring to the coloured representation demonstrated in figure 01 of this page, there is a clear representation of the points acting on the surface. The points are pulling the surface towards the origin, and this is creating an attractor point, to a degree. Again, it would be good to explore the length of these platforms, and possibly adapting them into the Part B iterations, as it could relate to the action of the wind force, specific to the LAGI Copenhagen site. In a sense, points could be introduces where there is a strong entry force of wind, subjected to the weather condition sof the site.

These components such as ‘point charge’ and ‘line point charge’, were used to reprudce a number of line outcomes that were then subjected to a hyperthetical ‘spin force’, exampled by the warped quality of the geometries. All in all, a number of these representations yielded a comprehensive and logical outcome, which i feel we can adapt to our future design projects in the LAGI entries.

The video then extended upon this notion of ‘evaultaing fields’, by replicating the geometry and generating it using another graph mapper. This gave the geometry a much more dynamic and 3 dimnsional quality.

G R A P H C O N T R O L L E R S Initiated through the use of a circle component, i was able to explore the extent of the algorithm, by introducing a graph mapper component. This component enabled the exploration of the contest within the base circle geometry. A cull pattern component was used in conjunction with a radius value slider.
01
By changing the radius value, it was discovered that the larger the radius of the circle was, the more intricate the patterning was. However, by changing the radius value form aa positive to a negative number, it was evident that there was quite a significant change in the overall layout of the outcome.
