Force of Nature – Circle of Force
Circle of Force emerged as a research project for studying the form-finding process by applying physics simulations interactively with grasshopper plugin Kangaroo. Our objective is to create a user-friendly design where they can spend time on IAAC Pujades Campus rooftop.
Design drives:
- Anchor points aligned with building columns
- User-friendly design
- Multipurpose
- Adaptable
Parameters for Base Geometry
The Base geometry and anchor points for Kangaroo simulation are based on the existing structure of the building and focal points on the existing elements of the rooftop.
Form Exploration
Fabrication
We decided to create components which would be 3D printed each one categorized with an ID. The unions will be made by another geometry that in this case will remain in the definition of the material for later.
