Wildlife Museum

life Through a morphological analysis, the site vividly portrayed its lines, structure and life giving me a clear direction of how i can delicately land on it with a sustainable life museum. The existing context made me aware that the structure should occupy a minimal area on ground level in order to preserve exisiting natural … Read more

Kinetic

This sample was produced using Grasshopper, Rhino compute and visual studio (vue.js and css) Concept: The UI is display for analysis of incident radiation quantifying potential for energy production through photovoltaic panels, testing different locations and using a solar vector as attraction point to move the panels along the sun trajectory to optimize the positioning. … Read more

Contour Generator

Brief The app is a terrain analysis and 3D contour generation using geometry-based tools. Specifically, itexplore the functionality of a terrain analyzer that utilizes multiple sliders to analyze the mesh, apply color legends, define resolution, and generate accurate 3D contours. the objective is to demonstrate the potential of this tool for analyzing and visualizing complex … Read more

Fincube

Source: Pedro Antonio Pérez & mylapse

Description Fincube is an app prototype that aims to analyse the facade fins or louvers as a means of sun-shading protection. The app analyses solar radiation on a cube’s four vertical faces, which represent the four facade orientations of a building. Fincube allows users to adjust the cube orientation, location, and louver design to assess … Read more

ISOVIST ANALYSIS OF A BUILDING

Isovist analysis offers a way of geometrically describing the spaces and forms of a building which can be seen from a particular position. As such, it combines a consideration of both fixed, building-related factors, such as space and form, and temporal, experiential ones, such as visibility and the impact of movement. Isovists are part of … Read more

Grasshopper Voronoi Wall Facade on any Surface 

Introduction In this seminar, Data Management, the instructor covered different practical and modern coding languages like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Node.js and Vu. In addition, he also covered how to use Hops and “Rhino Compute” server that helps to collaborate with other programming languages. This server can process incoming http requests to perform geometric computations and/or … Read more
