Dynamo Study 4 - Facade Rationalization

This article is from my last course before the thesis (unfortunately turkish).

Dynamo Study 2 - Facade Rationalization

This facade consists of the combination of a rectangle and a 8 sided star. This computational logic allows to study it in algorithmic environment.

Grasshoper Script

Facade Rationalization process have been done at Rhinoceros- Grasshopper. Optimization process forge ahead between facade consultant and designer.

I wanted to follow up all process in BIM environment step by step. I am looking for the differences between CAD & BIM environment in Rationalization process. Is BIM has an advantage during rationalization process for computational cases?

Initial Geometry

Main Horizontal Alignments

Surface normal disjointedness

Curve selection rule

Facade Trigon and Tetragon Paneling

It is certain that this topic has extended research area. I keep reading and continue to experiment about it.  I will create new titles based on them...

Thank you for reading.

Cheers,

Dynamo User Group Istanbul

Dynamo User Group Istanbul Sessions started.

Sessions leading by Mehmet Polat Diker and orginizing by Zeynep Bacınoğlu and Cansu Yeni.

You can watch several dynamo practises or you can present your own practises in these sessions.

If you are interested you can sign up to dynamo,istanbul group wtih link below.

Generative Design

Lines likes crystals grow on a computational substrate. A simple perpendicular growth rule creates intricate city-like structures.

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.

Geometry GYM BIM

https://geometrygym.wordpress.com/

http://geometrygym.blogspot.com.tr/

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.
