01 Representations Denver Central Library Michael Graves Denver, Colorado, America In 1990, the post-modernist architect Michael Graves won the design competition to expand and refurbish the existing Denver Central Library. Inspired from the classics, Graves design incorperates massings of euclidean volumnes, constructed with reinforced concrete and colourful masonry. The playful colour palette and rich interior furnishes liven up the library as being a relaxing, yet enjoyful place to read an explore.

02 Parametric Design Grasshopper + Rhinoceros 5.0 Addition of parametric fins
The project focuses on the skill to create 3d modelled objects through the Grasshopper Plugin. Paramatrization is a very powerful tool that allows rapid design iterations. However, the set up can take an extenstive amount of time and requires coherent, structured and logical thought process to develope proper definitions. The project designs an addition to Michael Graves' Denver Central Library, taking inspiration from louvers or fins. A precedence for this project is The Design Factory, located at Swinburne University designed by Local firm Sinclair Knight Merz (SKM) with London’s Wilkinson Eyre Architects.

Grasshopper Definition The direction of this project is to create fins that extend perpendicularly out of the body/surface. The distance of each extrusion would depend on a relationship between surface point and the distance of an attractor curve or point.
Flowchart ACTION
To achieve this, the follow components and proceedures were created:
VARIABLE
INPUTS
1. BASE SURFACE
1. Input surface 2. Creating a grid system with varying grids
DIMENSIONS
2. GRID CREATION
3. Selecting horizontal or vertical lines for extrusion. 4. Find distance between attractor and surface, and manipulate scalar value to find appropiate extrusion lengths.
ATTRACTORS
3. SIDE SELECTION
5. Extrude the lines based on extrusion lengths. 6. Produce a 3d object through controleld extruding the fins in the perpendicular direction to add thickness. 7. For easy use in Rhinoceros, convert object to Mesh.
4. ATTRACTOR STRENGTH
AMOUNT
5. EXTRUDE
6. THICKNESS
7. MESH

03 3D Printing Rhinoceros 5.0 + Mesh + STL This project further advances from previous to transform digital to physical models. Importantly, the project focuses on how to create files ready for 3d manufacturing. The skills learnt include the disicpline of proper booleaning of volumnes, in addition to creating high quality meshes and knowing how to fix volumnes/meshs.
