INTRODUCTION

NGHI TU LUU UNDERGRADUATE BACHELOR OF ENVIRONMENT, MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY, AUS STUDIES ARCHITECTURE (2016-PRESENT) Currently, Nghi is university student at Melbourne University, taking Architecture major of B. Environment. She is Vietnamese-Chinese and an international student. Nghi started her study aboard journey to Australia in 2014 and graduated high school here in 2015, with her studies multidisciplines of art, visual communication and maths subjects.

Then she continuing her study at university to present, to pursuit architecture career in the future.

WRITE CODE GRASSHOPER FABRICATION CONSTRUCTION GEOMETRIC CALCULATION

At a young age, Nghi already has developed interests in technologies and computer software, especially in visual programs and photo editing. She also has experiences short-course with simple robot assembly and programming, as well as game programming in Vietnam. However, it is drawing and painting that Nghi passion the most, and it was discovered during her high school in AUS. Living in different countries gives Nghi opportunity to observe and learn about building efficiency and diverse architectural styles. Gothic and Art Nouveau are the two styles she keens the most. Her hobbies including photography, art exploring, graphic design, traveling, and leisurely window-shopping.

Even though Nghi hasn’t had experiences in architecture work-environment, she is keens to learn new things from architecture studios that she studying at Melbourne University. Together with a studio like Earth and Water, Digital Design and Fabrication had guided her to the basic understanding of digital design and fabricating process with laser cutting and 3D printing. As her given theme was “Skin and Bones” in that subject, she has explored in tensile material for tensegrity structure in her group project. She hopes to expose herself to more diverse projects and architectural studies. In order to have the ability to contribute to built societies and improvise better-living qualities for the community

This model actually crash laptop performance and function various time due to it’s Complexity of gemomertries generatred. Rhino barely can convert it into redering mode and took very long time once adjust the views. So I only can provide the rough result from grasshoper before bake This 2 pictures on the Left are depicting the close up details of sphere geomerties that generated
