his week in class we were asked to use data to create lofted surfaces. These images above map the growth of plant over the time period of a year. The definition, as can be seen to the left, uses a multiplication factor between the average number of daylight hours and average hours to extend the definition into the 3rd dimension while the month of the year and plant growth influence the x and z variables of the defintion. To me, the result looks slightly like a clam.

his tutorial looked at the Mesh Component of Grasshopper.

Importantly, it also warned against the use of Meshes as without a plugin such as Weaverbird of LunchBox, it signifies the end of toying with the definition. A mesh is generally the very last step in producing a definition. This

tutorial also looked at weldvertices together which can then be relaxed with the MS Smooth tool.

Our first step in reverseengineering Double Agent White was to join 9 circes of varying radiusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; together.

We trialled one method before arriving at another whereby we used a bounding box and attractor points in order to produce the basic form of the overall pavilion.

Once our spheres were connected, we joined then, turning them into a single brep. Using a bounding box, we trimmed the solid to produce the image as above.

Next, we altered the composition of the interlocking spheres to create a form that more closely resembled the original Double Agent White. To do this, we played with the placement of the attractor points by altering them in Rhino.

The biggest challenge that wenever were actually able to resolve was how to place an image on the surface of the Brep Mesh. We spent many hour deliberating, before deciding to attend a tech help session in which we were told Marc Fornes had not actually used Grasshopper to produce his pavilion, rather complex Python Scripting which, to be honest, was so far out of our capablitiy and therefore provided us with a convenient endpoint.

ata Matching: Data matching occurs when a component has access to differently sized list inputs.

The grasshopper plug-in currently has three matching algorithms.

Lexical operations are logical mappings between data paths and indices which are defined by textual (lexical) paths and patterns.

Simplify: Removes overlapping branches in a Data Tree.

A Trie: A trie is an Ordered Data Structure in which elements are stored and accessed with a ‘Key’.

As of Grasshopper 0.6, data can be stored in hierarchical structures not dissimilar to a branching tree.

Data is still stored in lists, but each list now has a ‘path’.

Paths are a series of indices describing the position of the data branch within the tree.

Tree Statistics: Returns some statistics of the Data Tree including: P: All Paths of the Tree L: The length of each branch of the Tree C: Number of paths and branches in the Tree Flattening: Flattening a Tree removes all levels of a Data Tree resulting in a single list.

Path Mapper: The Path Mapper allows you to perform lexical operations on Data Trees.

It is exciting to realise that Grasshopper can become more exact in predicting the effects on objects from exterior forces. In this way, Grasshopper becomes more realistic and more applicable to a world with gravity.

Again, it is important to FLATTEN lists for the inputs of kangaroo physics.

Origami folding uses an original flat surface which then is manipulated with Kangaroo Physics and Springs!
