STUDIO AIR - PART B
ALGORITHMIC SKETCHBOOK
INGRID AAGENAES 618713 SEMESTER 1
I also tried to create the surfaces in Rhino and from there applying cones on to the surface. In this way I lost the planarity of the shape, and they did not connect together.
I tried many times to do the reversed engineering of the FabPod Project and I want to highlight this here in the algorithmic sketchbook because it was such a good learning experiment for me and this is what have helped me the most in terms of learning grasshopper. First I created all 3 layers of the structure (walls, columns and back) as a half sphere. Then I intersected several parts of this structure and tried to trim it. This did not work as grasshopper is not working in that way.
I spent a lot of time trying to apply the cones on to the shapes I had created using the shape trimming method. As each surface have different relation point, the script becomes very large and it takes ages trying to explore with distribution, length and radius. I figued out that I had todo the exploration for the matrix on only one surface at the time.
