Parametric Design & Grasshopper

This section is dedicated to the display of my work using Rhino / Grasshopper for my designs

Sound and Acoustics

During the New Carnegie Library project of my 4th year, I used the "Pachyderm Acoustic Simulation" Addon. This allowed me to apply and simulate algorithms that can be used to predict noise, visualize sound propagation, and critically listen to my designed spaces.

Kinetic Facade

During my 4th year, I used Grasshopper's components in order to provide a series of points along a curve. these points move along that curve, produce a hung rod, and follow the shape of a Perlin curve.

Triangular Surface

During my 4th year, I used Lunchbox's components in order to test the idea of a canopy as a means of shade. This script allows me to define and manipulate a surface, control the panel density, define a range that each panel vertex can exist within, use a domain as a means to produce the geometry in partial, and control the subtraction of certain panels.

Point Attractor

During my 4th year, I used lunchbox's components in order to re-create an existing facade. This script allows me to define and manipulate a surface, and determine the size of the shapes determined by the shape's distance to a point, traveling along a curve.

Evolutionary Solver - 1

During my 4th year, I used Galapagos' components in order to solve problems. The simulation below is showing the component finding the smallest box to fit a sculpture into. The parameters that the component is given are plane position and angle in two directions.

Evolutionary Solver - 2

During my 4th year, I used Galapagos' components in order to solve problems during a facade study. The images below are showing different sets of parameters being filtered through a desired fitness function.
