Parameterize - Parametric Column Capital Model

Rhino-Grasshopper model steps;

1st step:

-Creating 4 main corner curve of column capital.

-Divide curves  to 40 segments.

-Cull opposed elements with True, False, True , False boolean.

-Cull other opposed elements with False, True , False,True boolean.

2nd step:

-Create a line between points.

-Create a surface with 4 main corner curve and 4 secondary curve.

-Project lines to lofted surface.

-Extrude oriented lines.

3rd step:

-Create 2 horizontal, 2 vertical supporter surface middle of the rectangle.

- Bake and intersect supporter from each other like waffle structure.

-Bake and intersect supporter also from horrizontal elements.

The End of Design As We Know It?

"1200 variations, you’re not being an architect any more. You are a computer programmer"

What is Arduino?

http://www.arduino.cc/

Arduino is a tool for making computers that can sense and control more of the physical world than your desktop computer. It's an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple microcontroller board, and a development environment for writing software for the board.

Arduino can be used to develop interactive objects, taking inputs from a variety of switches or sensors, and controlling a variety of lights, motors, and other physical outputs. Arduino projects can be stand-alone, or they can communicate with software running on your computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP.) The boards can be assembled by hand or purchased preassembled; the open-source IDE can be downloaded for free.

The Arduino programming language is an implementation of Wiring, a similar physical computing platform, which is based on the Processing multimedia programming environment.

Geometry GYM BIM

Geometry Gym provides OpenBIM software tools and support for Architects and Engineers and those in the Construction Industry.  Primarily these tools target streamlined work flow processes for improved productivity and designs. Powerful Parametric and Generative modelling of projects is enabled by utilizing plug-ins for Grasshopper3d and Rhino3d. Generative BIM model exchange is provided using a combination of OpenBIM formats (primarily IFC) and direct API interaction to popular software including Revit, Archicad, Digital Project and Tekla.  Structural Analysis models can be exchanged with many popular analysis software.

Computational Geometry commands and functions (also useful to designers in industries other than architecture) are also provided in the plug-in BullAnt. Tessellation (polygon packing), geodesic domes, mesh relaxation and minimal surfaces are included amongst others, and you’ll find worked examples of these used in Architecture for projects such as the Beijing Water Cube or British Museum Great Court roof on the Geometry Gym blog.
