WEEK WEEK 11 LOFT In the fisrt week I tested the 'loft' definition in Grasshopper to see how different curves might generate different forms of loft. I found that the outcomes of lofts can be smooth or can be straight. For future development, smooth result can be used for roofs, and straight result can be applied to panels and walls.

OC TREE Oc Tree component turns a surface into platforms. It was described in tutorial videos as a useful tool in game design, but I think it also helps to form platforms in real-world architecture.

VORONOI It is an interesting tool to divide a surface or solid into polygons. It creates interesting patterns around or among an object.


WEEK 2 WEEK 2 GRIDSHELL

SPHERE Through creating the sphere, I practised definitions such as sphere, divide surface, explode tree, shift list, and loft. I developed an initial understanding of data tree, which I think is critical in using Grasshoper to design.

PLANARY SMOOTH MESH


WEEK 3 WEEK 3 DATA TREE I tested more possibilities on the knowledge based on data tree. Panel component allowed me to define the formula and generate differentiated patterns.


WEEK 4 WEEK 4 Second trial

SECTIONING This week I used Banq Restaurant (designed by Office dA) as my case study. In Grasshopper I specifically tested the contour component. I tried different patterns, lengths, radius, and some other parameters to see the effect on the outcomes.

NTP NTP CASE STUDY: PORTRAIT BUILDING

A S H T O N R A G G A R T M C D O U G A L L PORTRAIT BUILDING

I did a case study on Portrait Building because I was shock when I first saw the face on the building from very far. A Grasshopper definition for the portrait building on LMS helped me discovered the secret of the stunning effect - image sampling. Through changing the image and width and number of slices, I made several portrai building with other faces. Also I found the colour contrast between the panels and building is important.

WEEK 5 WEEK 5 EVALUATE FIELD Poping an valuate field component after dividing surface gives me a list of points. Through remapping the radius of circles based on the points, I evaluated the expression with variables y and z. This gives me an outcome of that the smaller the x, y and z value are, the bigger the circles are. It creates regular shapes on a surface.

IMAGE SAMPLING Similar outcome as above can be achieved by image sampling as well.

WEEK 6 WEEK 6 PREPARATION FOR INTERIM This bridge structure was the initial idea of our interim presentation. It's a helix bridge consists of steel strucuture and tensile rope structure.

Definition used: Divide curves, rotate, loft, structure (LunchBox Plugin), pipe, extend, offset, interpolate, planary, circle, geodesic, bang, graft, list item, etc.
