Observatory Tower Competition

The shape of the tower was inspired by the helical forms of seashells and Islamic architectural icons, with the intention of maintaining the use of steel at a low for a permeable structure.

Input parameters, which are curves in Rhino, determine the desired appearance and dimensions of the steel structural members.

The diagrid structure, previously created using various point intersections of profile curves which determine the overall shape of the helical tower in GH and Rhino, is received as curves which are then piped according to incrementally decreasing thicknesses.

Structural pipe thicknesses viewed in panels while changes are made in Rhino to the reference profile curves.

Observatory Tower Competition

The reference profile curves act as a 2D representation of the incremental change in pipe thicknesses, which can be adjusted using the curveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s control points.

Pipe geometry preview before change made to the profile curve (GH)

Adjusted control point with the result of a different profile for the tower

Change in profile curves produces wider radii for pipes while still incrementally reducing in dimension as the height of the tower increases.

Office Building Competition

Environmental analysis diagrams using Ladybug were generated for the final presentation of a proposed office building design.

The main inputs include the appropriate weather data file for the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s location, scheme massing model, context buildings, with the analysis period adjusted according to a specific time of day and month.

Location coordinates and Sun Vectors are taken from the weather data component and fed into the Sunpath Diagram component which incorporates the desired analysis period, which can also be extracted as vector information in Rhino. The Sunlight Hours component generates a colored mesh of the analyzed massing model that represents a total average of Sunlight Hours.

Iterations of structural module with different patterning of panels

The design of a structural module includes perforated panels , and this definition allows for perforations of different shapes to be visualized along the curved surfaces of the structural module.

Workflow Diagram

Control points are sent to Flux by extracting the surface edges of the floor slabs from Rhino

The floors are represented in Revit after Dynamo file is run. Revit file can then be used as reference to update floor element geometry in master file

Live Connection This Rhino to Revit workflow provides a live connection between each software, so any changes and updates made in the original Rhino file are replicated in the reference Revit file. Quick Upload Time Changes made are updated quickly because Rhino geometry is sent at its simplest form, computer code (in Javascript/JSON geometry), to Flux’s web interface. The geometry, now lines of code, is stored as data in Flux’s cloud servers. Other workflow examples used the .SAT file format to bring in Rhino geometry into the Revit environment. However, this process would take significant amounts of time for creating new files, uploading to the network servers and project folders and downloading to workstations. Accurate Representation Since the data being sent can be translated to be read by each software, what is represented is the same across the board. Updated geometry in Revit is used as a reference to update original files, so no information is rewritten or lost due to damaged or mismanaged files.

Excerpt from Introductory Grasshopper course information pamphlet

Student Work Undergraduate Thesis Project | Communicative Wall

Height of extruded rectangular boxes determined by light intensity (Ghowl, Processing, Firefly) Communication between two sides of a wall through a surface that responds to movement changes the opacity of a wall from thick and mute to permeable and responsive. Live visual information can be directly fed into a system or can be translated, which means that the information undergoes changes through a set of rules set out by the system. The system translates movement, captured by live web camera feeds using Firefly, Grasshopper and Arduino, to control living wall prototypes that become transmuted chimeras of human form and movement.
