More constructions

other constructions modeled previously, with non-developmental algorithms

 

Presented structure can be easily panelized with triangles

AAC Dissertation

Few words about my academic project. As a part of my dissertation work I am experimenting with various algorithms simulating growth of forms. Most if them are inspired by nature, some of them are just pure math, but most importantly they seem to produce quite interesting effects.

Constructions shown below have been generated in Generative Components, part of Bentley’s Microstation software. Currently I am developing processing application simulating ‘growth’ of construction elements, which will be interfaced with GC and rationalized (quad-based wiremesh construction will be covered with cell-like circular elements).

Latest developments

The same concept, different morphology. Some circles still dont align perfectly to the others… but doesn’t seem as a hard thing to do 🙂 

Structure in intended form will look more or less like this:


Baskets again

Finally I managed to export geometrical data from Processing to GC. Program simulates behaviour of three dimensional mesh that tries to ’embrace’ the object.

GC experiments, baskets and circular components

Other part of my reseach involves using simple and natural forms, like those GC generated ‘basket’-like constructions.
