Visiting School Rio de Janeiro will collaborate with the Centro Carioca de Design with the support of Columbia University Studio X to investigate new possibilities for the urban infrastructure surrounding World Cup Stadiums. Nation-wide, there has been significant investment to build and renovate stadiums for the 2014 World Cup in order to meet the required standard FIFA regulations (‘Padrão FIFA’). At the same time, there has been a large public demand for equal investment into transport systems, public space, and public programs such as hospitals and schools. The Visiting School will tap into the momentum of this movement, and promote a series of interventions within and around the World Cup structures, proposing new public programs and standards for their legacy. Students can choose to focus directly on the Maracanã stadium in Rio de Janeiro, the venue for the Final match of the World Cup. The intense ten-day workshop will employ computational design and digital fabrication to introduce a design methodology that creatively automates and promotes transformation, mutation and complexity for these infrastructure interventions.
Prominent Features of the workshop
Teaching teamThe teaching team will include a mix of tutors from the Architectural Association, including Theodore Sarantoglou Lalis e Dora Sweijd (lassa-architects.com) of Diploma 17, and locally-based architects, urban-designers and experts, mediated by locally-based Visiting School directors, to promote cutting-edge innovative strategies informed by local political, economic and construction issues.
Computational skillsThe workshop will teach advanced digital modeling and parametric design skills, no previous experience is needed. A group of specialist computation tutors will conduct an initial skills workshop and continue to assist throughout the workshop to develop the individual projects of the participants.
Digital FabricationA series of physical models will be built using digital fabrication techniques that will be taught during the workshop, no previous experience is needed.

of curved surfaces, its fabrication methods are still a challenge especially on the level of complex surfaces and large scale assemblies. Mathematical surfaces in general and hyperbolic paraboloids (Hypars) in particular embed neverending opportunities for planar construction techniques. The ancient surface of Hypars is one of the most interesting mathematical forms for architects from quantitative structural optimization to qualitative ornaments. Hypars have been used extensively in the works of avant-garde architects including: Gaudi, the Philips pavilion of le Corbusier, Shell structures of Felix Candela and Frei Otto tensile structures, as well as, many contemporary architects. Hypars workshop aims to develop the computational design techniques of complex organizations of hyperbolic surfaces from the structural to the ornamental scale in respect to the planar fabrication methods. The mathematical and geometrical qualities of ruled surfaces will be explored in parallel to material and assembly logic of planar elements for 1:1 prototype of an outdoor canopy in Alexandria. Geometrical properties of Hypars will be coded on the platform of Rhino and Grasshopper while the physical prototypes will be in wood and paper which offer an integrated and intuitive understanding of complex geometries and physical relationships. The workshop objective is to reconsider materials and fabrication as a design tool for architects. /// Application To apply, please follow this link to fill the application form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1S2-7YNifUing8SVX3Iz9ArrgQgjIk77w9jzG70sIHv0/viewform /// Fees* 1700 EGP for students / 2000 EGP for graduates and young professionals * 20 % discount for early registration and payment before 22 nd of August 2014 more info on the workshop webpage: http://www.encodestudio.net/#!hypar/co9p…
geode. The faceting system also references the original use of triangulation for mapping three dimensional landscapes.
My question responds to the need to control the edges lengths and angles within the triangles to make the process of construction possible. We are hoping to keep the edges under 28 inches and the minimum angle more than 15 degrees. What would be your suggestion in grasshopper?
Our process for getting the facet was also... the long way.
1. draw curves based on three dimension measurements of interior
2. networks surface the four curves
3. mesh surface
4. triangulate mesh
5. reduce polygons
6. splitmeshedge where necessary to make quadrilaterals triangles once more
Any suggestions?…

more information
CONSTRUCTING FOR UNCERTAINTY
Design and construction, increasingly more information-centric, must also address issues of computational ambiguity. As users, we must drive computational systems to assume new roles and subsume more domains to meet the needs before us. We must consider issues of time and permanence within a cultural and technological landscape of constant change - our most grand gestures will define our environment physically, culturally and economically for generations.
Where historic responses to uncertainty constructed a simplistic environment with basic mechanisms for aggregation and subdivision, we augment these with smart, dynamic and interactive systems. Where modeling capacity has been limited, we now take advantage of vast amounts of data collected by sensing and scanning devices, processed by cluster or grid computing, filtered by machine learning algorithms into patterns, and communicated by ubiquitous devices. Our past data trajectories can guide us in discovering robust and tolerant design systems to meet the demands of a malleable present and uncertain future.

looking to achieve is to replace every 25 value in a list with 0, 40 with 1, 15 with 2 and 60 with 3. This is what I have so far:
listArray = x
searchList = y
writeList = z
for n, i in enumerate(listArray):
if i == searchList[0]:
listArray[n] = writeList[0]
elif i == searchList[1]:
listArray[n] = writeList[1]
elif i == searchList[2]:
listArray[n] = writeList[2]
elif i == searchList[3]:
listArray[n] = writeList[3]
a = listArray

Hello Patricio, divide the beams in such a way that each boundary vertex of the shell becomes an endpoint of a beam segment.

Hi Clemens,
I did what you suggested but now assemble element doesn´t work properly. Could you please tell me how to fix it? Thanks in advance, Patricio

Comment by karamba on October 8, 2014 at 11:59am
Hi Patricio, if you flatten the 'Elem'-input at the 'Assemble'-component the definition works. The triangular shell elements have linear displacement interpolations whereas the beam deflections are exact. In order to get correct results you should refine the shell mesh.
Best, Clemens

Hello, succeeds in creating the mesh to the slab, and built the beam segment, but when I see the deformations are not expected because the beam is deformed as the slab.
Thanks for the help
PS: maybe I'm using the program for a type of structure that is not the most appropriate, as I saw in the examples of other structures. But this type of structure is that students taught
best regards
Patricio

You could use the 'Mesh Edges'-component to retrieve the naked edges and turn them into beams - see attached file:91014Example1_cp.gh
Best regards,
Clemens

Dear clemens
I was doing a rough estimate of the deformation, and I can not achieve the same result with Karamba. When I make a rough estimate of the result with Karamba beams and mine are very similar, I think the problem is when I connect the shell, because there are no similar results.
I sent the GH file, and an image of the calculation
The structure is concrete The result I get is 0.58cm
thank youPatricio

Comment by karamba yesterday
Dear Patricio,
try to increase the number of shell elements. As mentioned in the manual they are linear elements. A mesh that is too coarse leads to a response which is stiffer than the real structure.
Best,
Clemens
