ss lots of questions,Hope guys show me some more different ways to figure out thoes kinds of problems,Thanks.
That is a construction project,the balconies should be overhang between 1 to 3 meters.
Program A is a patten consist of increasing balconies as the floors get upper.(In the picture is 29 at the first floor and ended with 2 more balconies for each floor, )Each part for a different floor,the twelfth floor have 29+(12-1)*2=51 balconies.
Questions From A,
A1:How to use the {(series)} to creat this atrium,As the floors increase the number of the balconies change by arithmetic progression.
A2:How to control the angle of the balconies,both the angle with floor and the balconies ending part.
Program B is use line to shape the commercial atrium,program A is more small pieces of rectangles.The {(TweenCrv)} command.
Questions From B,
B1:How to draw random points between the 1 to 3 meters region of the balcony,And those point form a shape also belongs to that region.
B2:Use a curve or other ways to control the changing speed of each floors' balcony.Right now the balcony is a Linear change.
Thanks for your Help.
Q1:Is there a way in Grasshopper to control the model to Modulus,less different unit parts to build such a Atrium.(For Exanple,only use 900mm and 600mm two different width of the Glass railings to bulid the model A OR B)…
y using the Honeybee_Update Honeybee component.
The video below (best viewed in full-screen mode) provides an idea of what these components are capable of being used for:
The video below shows how these components can be used in an existing Honeybee project (for additional links please open this video in youtube):
I have uploaded two examples as Hydra files that show how these components can be used for grid-point and image-based simulations:
Example1 : Grid Point Calculations
Example2: Image based simulation
Finally, a more esoteric application is demonstrated in this video:
These components are still in the beta-testing stage. Some of the limitations of the components are:
1. Only Type C photometry IES files are supported at present.
2. Rhino is likely to get sluggish if there are too many luminaires (i.e. light fixtures) present in a scene.
3. Due to the spectral limitations of the ray-tracing software (RADIANCE), simulations involving color mixing might not be physically realizable.
Additional details about photometric and spectral calculations are probably an overkill for this forum. However, I'd be glad to answer any related questions. Please report any bugs or request new features either on this forum or on Github.
Mostapha, Leland Curtis, Reinhardt Swart and Dr. Richard Mistrick provided valuable inputs during the development of these components.
Thanks,
Sarith

of the new challenges presented to the society and architecture in Portugal. With technological developments, tools once limited to not creative areas begin to be part of the everyday life of students in University Architecture Laboratories and change its design processes. The architecture design methods are changing rapidly with the introduction of CAD-CAM software’s. In recent years, new software’s have been available for 3D representation and digital fabrication, which have allowed creating new ways of interacting with the computer and architecture. Contemporary architecture in its various scales, seeks greater flexibility, adaptability and interactivity taking into account both the means and goals of kinetic systems. Thus, it is essential to the creative industry players to acquire new knowledge about the latest technological innovations and how they can solve some of the problems and challenges of today’s society.
The workshop will explore the use of Grasshopper, Firefly and Arduino as creative and technical tools in all the design process, to simulation and prototype 3D interactive architecture solutions.
The theoretical and practical workshop (64 hours) taught in English and Portuguese, will be composed of two modules: (1) LS_01: Firefly +Grasshopper + Arduino and Scale Model Fabrication; (2) LS_02: Design Studio – Discursive Wall.
This workshop is intended for students and professionals from different areas of knowledge, (architecture, design, fine arts, engineering, music and programming) who are interested in the process of design: from ideation to prototyping. The participants will generate scale models.
Registration is limited to 20 participants with or without software knowledge. Participants will work individually and in group. Participants must take their own laptops to the workshop. Registrants should complete the form by 28 February 2012. Once registered, you will receive an email confirming your acceptance.

it could look like this:
Once you're told it's to do with flattening data structures called 'trees' it becomes obvious what it means and very easy to remember. If you had to guess what it meant before you were told about trees I'm not sure what you'd make of it. Perhaps something to do with downloading? Downward pointing arrows are often associated with downloading things.
If I compress the tree image the arrow can be above it, but now the tree doesn't look like a tree any more:
Unless you've seen it before on another icon and you know that shape represents a data tree in Grasshopper.
I in fact did use a downward pointing arrow to represent flatten in the parameter post-processes:
These icons only have 10x10 pixels so anything beyond a single, simple shape cannot be represented so I couldn't go with the stump.
I'm not particularly hesitant to change the UI from version to version. I know it annoys some people and I know that some tutorials and course materials will become outdated because of it. But while GH is in alpha mode I think it is more important to try and figure out what interface works best. I'm not particularly impressed by the improvement of the tree+arrow icon, because even if it immediately conjures up the words "Flatten Tree" in your mind, you still don't know what to make of it unless you already know about data trees and what it means to flatten them.

laxation have been around much longer than any of the tools you mention, or indeed Rhino itself. A particularly well known one is Ken Brakke's Surface Evolver from over 20 years ago. Of the examples listed, some of them were inspirations when starting Kangaroo in 2009, and I've always tried to acknowledge those. (of course, surface relaxation is only one part of what Kangaroo is about)
I also was helped by conversations with many people, including Moritz as you mention, and especially yourself with the coding. Indeed the .Net class you ran back then for McNeel, as well as the other correspondence in your own time was really useful in getting started - thanks again!
As for mesh relaxation not being 'not so difficult', well - for sure there are many implementations of these things out there. Similarly there are dozens of examples of subdivision implementations (Andrew Heumann even showed you don't need to code anything, but can do it with standard grasshopper components), but let's not start being too dismissive of each other's work, hey ? Of course there's a lot more to making a flexible and useful tool than individual algorithms - making them part of a larger framework or system of tools makes a big difference.
Being the first to implement a particular existing algorithm on a particular platform maybe isn't as big a deal as inventing a new algorithm or technique. When other implementations of the same technique come along, we should just assess them on their merits. If the new tool owes something to previous contributions, then that needs to be acknowledged, and then if it improves in some way on what is already available then great. Even if it doesn't then it may still be useful as an exercise for the author or as an example of a different approach - though of course too much duplication of effort tackling already solved problems is a waste, and if there is no significant new contribution then it doesn't deserve to replace what is there.
If a new tool comes along that improves in some way on what we've done already (such as some of the topology tools available in Starling compared to what is in WeaverBird, or the material properties in Karamba compared to Kangaroo), then let's just learn from that and let it spur us on to greater things and improve even further!
So I'll look forward to using this and future versions of WeaverBird in conjunction with Kangaroo, as I think their feature sets complement each other very nicely.…
nt should stand up to reasonable, Socratic interrogation with logical and descriptive rigor. For example, I find entirely credible an architect who suggests that he placed his buildings 20 meters apart because he thought that it would make people more comfortable in light of his reading of the space relative to its environment, materiality, expected time of habitation/circulation, etc. His "thinking" such things is, for the most part intuitive, and backed by deductive logic. (Of course integration of wind analysis and other harder readings is obviously desirable) But I interpret the active denial of intuition's crucial role in design as at the heart of its current deplorable trending toward misuse of terminology, application of pseudo-science and intellectual over-reach. Architects wade out of their waters precisely when they invoke such things as human psychology or perception.
Furthermore, I believe that architects - student and professionals alike - regularly make formal decisions according to their aesthetic judgement. To suggest that students aren't qualified to make a design decision during their studies because they think it's formally successful seems exceedingly stingy; likewise, suggesting that a professional architect shouldn't rely on it is puzzling to me. I find architects' attempts to justify what are obviously decisions based on formal taste using other means often taking the same form of obfuscation that makes architects appear to be intellectual charlatans to specialists in other fields. Taste is taste. I would agree that it can't be taught. But good architectural design certainly remains at least somewhat grounded in artistic sensibility.
3) I'm by no means advocating that all architects must master every detail in their work. Rather, that architects have at least a generalist's working knowledge of materials and construction systems. Floors don't levitate, and windows require depth; rules of thumb count as vital knowledge.
4) I would say that consideration of performance-driven properties falls under basic understanding of how a building will operate in its given environment. For example, if you've designed a glass house in Arizona, ur doing it wrong. The more simulation and science you have, the better. Indeed, I think that such elements - wind analysis, solar gain analysis, structural performance - represent the most solid opportunities today for architects to assert the harder lines of defense in their design decision making...say for example, being able to demonstrate using basic geometry that your shade keeps the sun out in summer, but lets it in when it's cold.…
