<p>I have just sent grades to Henry and they should be online some time next week (maybe sooner). If you have any questions or concerns about your grades, please let me know - I would be happy to tell you how they were determined.</p>

<p></p>
<p>To wrap things up, each one of you made great progress throughout this course. Each one of you has great talents and hopefully will continue to cultivate them as you become great designers and architects. Remember, do not be bashful in the world, the future will look to you to design solutions to problems that do not even exist yet. It will be challenging, but i am sure you all will be up to the challenge.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Here is a cheers to you!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks again,</p>

<p>Class,</p>
<p></p>
<p>I wanted to thank you all for a great semester, I was very proud of the work I saw on Friday. I hope everyone had a good time at the WAAC this year. The following is to wrap up the semester:</p>
<p></p>
<p>1) Please have your final board and photo of your physical model (if not on your board already) <strong>posted to DropBox by the end of the day. Failure to do this will result in loss of grades and possible automatic failure.</strong> Please let me know if this…</p>

<p>1) Please have your final board and photo of your physical model (if not on your board already) <strong>posted to DropBox by the end of the day. Failure to do this will result in loss of grades and possible automatic failure.</strong> Please let me know if this is a problem for you.</p>
<p></p>
<p>2) Also, please post all assignments that are not posted to dropbox for grading. This includes all of the assignments from the first half of class as well as Part A, B, C, and D of the Final project. <strong>These must all be posted by the end of the day Tuesday, May 12th. Failure to do this will result in a missed assignment rather then a late assignment. Make sure all files are labeled correctly. I am going to be grading Wednesday morning.</strong></p>

<p>Just a few reminders from class:</p>
<p></p>

<p>-<strong>Projects are due May 8th at the WAAC Final Gallery (I think at 5:30 PM).</strong> You will have your board(s) pinned up and your physical model complete underneath. The location is still being worked out, so I will let you know when I know. After the physical submission, a digital submission is required as well. There should be at minimum -</p>
<p></p>
<p>A board with the discussed drawings and images below, named LastName_FirstName_FinalProject.pdf</p>
<p></p>
<p>A photo of your physical model (if not included on the board), named</p>
<p>LastName_FirstName_FinalModel.pdf.</p>
<p></p>
<p>These should be posted on the dropbox sometime before the last day of the semester. <strong>Your project will not be graded if you do not physically submit on May 8th and digitally submit sometime before the semester is over.</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>-Project brief is below</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Project Brief: </strong> Up until now, you have been using grasshopper to develop, analyze, and fabricate architectural ideas in a very controlled format. The final project is a chance to combine this knowledge with your own design intent and aspirations. The project will use specific deliverables to spur growth, but also allow for you, the designer, to do what you please within the following boundaries.</p>
<p><strong>Requirements:</strong></p>
<p># open project<br/># must be a design project<br/> # story of what you are designing and why you are using grasshopper - specific design intent<br/># must have physical scale model <br/># must have 24” x 36” board - made in Adobe InDesign or Photoshop<br/> # grasshopper definition image<br/> # 1 artistic rendering - any format - with scale figures<br/> # 5 iterations of your project must be presented <br/> # 1 diagram to visually describe your project<br/> # text describing project<br/> # process drawings - photos/sketches/models/other iterations<br/># this is the bare minimum - to have an excellent project, one must go above and beyond these requirements<br/># talk to me if you have out of the box ideas of presenting/ teams / etc...</p>
<p></p>
<p>That is all, there are no assignments due this week, just keep working on those projects. I am available for help during the week, just email or post in the forum. <strong>USE THE GRASSHOPPER FORUM IF YOU ARE STUCK.</strong> There are many people on here that are way smarter than I that can help you.</p>

<p>Your assignment for next week is found below.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Assignment #6</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p>1. <strong>You are to model a membrane shading structure for the WAAC outdoor courtyard adjacent to 1001 Prince Street (seen below).</strong></p>
<p><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2654897238?profile=original"><img class="align-left" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2654897238?profile=original" width="480"/></a></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>This is an abstract model - no measurements are required. A basic model would be the walls of the the various building and the ground. Spend a few minutes in the space and get a feeling for what a shading membrane would look like in the space.</p>
<p></p>
<p>2. Use the Kangaroo plug-in to make the mesh. I would look at the tutorials below (do part 2 of the design Analyze as a minimum).</p>
<p></p>
<p><a href="http://www.designalyze.com/tutorial/columbia-meshing-spring-2013-class-04">http://www.designalyze.com/tutorial/columbia-meshing-spring-2013-class-04</a></p>

<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY5WU_8L4S8">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY5WU_8L4S8</a></p>
<p></p>
<p>There is also a manual that comes with the download. It should be on the share file at the WAAC; if not just download it for free at the Food 4Rhino website.</p>
<p></p>
<p>3. It does not matter what your membrane structure looks like, but try to use your eye as a designer. Think about things such as sun angle, experience from both in the courtyard and also from the windows above, support location in the wall etc...</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Take a screenshot of the completed image. Do not save to dropbox, but bring to class next week - March 23rd.</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p>Post here if you have any questions. See you all next week!</p>
