1.1.1 Summarizing work-flow using stepwise procedure into set of rules.
Pseudocode(f ) summarizes a program flow, but excludes underlining details. In figure 1-3 the student is trying to break down his design process using illustrations and carefully recording the steps required to develop a tubular surface with relative fenestrations. This process is then translated into a script through tools like grasshopper to generate complex form. STEP 01 : DEFORMATION INTENSITY. Rule: Define reference object with set radius and number of segments. Parameter: Number of vertical section
with an invert relationship. Parameter: Depth of section.

Rule: Perpendicular movement of deformation points to its section
OPENINGS. Constrain: Opening of the cells on surface becomes smaller as the deformation points moving away from the axis.
Pseudocode(f) is a non programming language used to outline a rough draft of script syntax in simple words by establishing procedure of various rules, parameters and constraints. It summarizes a program flow, but excludes underlining details.
