[.] Descrizione:
Modulo 1 Il workshop è finalizzato a fornire ai partecipanti i fondamenti della modellazione parametrica e generativa attraverso Grasshopper, plug-in di programmazione visuale per Rhinoceros 3D (uno dei più diffusi modellatori NURBS per l‘architettura e il design). Il workshop mira a gestire e sviluppare il rapporto tra informazione e geometria lavorando sui sistemi di involucro in condizioni specifiche. La discretizzazione di superfici (pannellizazione sia Nurbs che Mesh), la modellazione delle geometrie attraverso informazioni (siano esse provenienti da dati di analisi ambientali, da mappe di colore o da database), l’estrazione e la gestione di informazioni richiedono la comprensione delle strutture dei dati al fine di definire un processo che va dalla progettazione alla costruzione. I partecipanti impareranno come costruire e sviluppare strutture di dati parametrici per informare geometrie ‘data-driven’ e come estrarre le informazioni rilevanti da tali modelli per il processo di costruzione.
Modulo 2 Il workshop, volto a promuovere le nuove tecnologie digitali di supporto alla progettazione e alla fabbricazione, fornirà ai partecipanti, utilizzando Grasshopper, gli strumenti per la preparazione dei modelli 3D di elementi modulari decorativi "bricks & tiles" in argilla la cui successiva prototipazione avverrà tramite fresatura dello stampo con pantografo CNC a 3 assi. Il workshop darà quindi ai partecipanti i fondamenti per l’utilizzo di tale strumento di fabbricazione digitale e si concluderà con la fabbricazione di un proprio modello realizzato durante il corso.

ke triangle faces like they are in the 2D case of mostly hexagons/pentagons being the dual of a triangular mesh. What you are seeing is in fact fragments of the original non-flat mesh surface.
Perhaps I could isolate the mostly hexagons themselves and create alternative cells with patches for faces to handle non-flat faces. See, if you look very close at the literature figures, they simply leave out the lines in their actual surface faces that themselves have multiple mesh faces, whereas I'm outputting NURBS so end up with polysurface faces when I make a formal clipped Voronoi.
In the 2D case, flattening the cell edges is equivalent to flattening the 3D faces, but that's rarely what people want to do in the 2D case so they just chop the boundary up into curved little cell edges:
It was going to be difficult to clip the 3D case at all without grabbing a small hexagonal/pentagonal piece of the original mesh but once I have done that, I can then possibly replace it with a single surface often non-flat patch, as an option instead. If I tried to make them all flat it would require altering the geometry at least in places, likely most places. See the figure on the right. The faces are not flat!
The question is whether the Rhino Patch command will reliably close the cell with a mere patch on there instead of a faceted polysurface.
I'll look into this. One option is to include the center point in the patch forming command, to not flatten the face so much.
Doing Patch in Rhino, manually, I'm *not* getting a closable solid easily:
Any ideas? I can increase the spans of the patch I guess, without a huge memory hit since it's just surface pieces. Even with 10 spans and stiffness only 1 it still won't close though. Ah, it's because it has sharp facets from the clipping itself and a patch will simply not form a sharp kink in the face of a single surface so will never close?! 30 spans is already getting up there and it won't close either:
Not even if I include a mesh version of the polysurface face in my Patch command will it close the solid, even with low stiffness, since it simply will not make a proper kink in the the edge. It can't really, since a patch is a single surface and it would require huge numbers of UV control points to get within closing tolerance.
I'm kind of stumped. I've included a file if you want to show me how to patch that surface.
Loft to a point from the border curve to the vertex just gives back a more complicated polysurface:

Architectural Animation_ Designing National Cyber Games Center in Tehran by Using Digital Architecture Findings
Game is one of the oldest human behaviors and it is specifically related to the culture and region in every society. Considering the change and growth in societies, they –the games- coordinate themselves with these changes. Inventing digital tools, games entered a new arena and quickly changed to a remarkable area in industry and economic market and they also attract more time and audience towards themselves, not requiring big and special spaces, being accessible to public. Regarding the extensive effects of computer games on economic, cultural, educational, physical and mental health arenas, every country has done a deal with content control, supporting producers, increasing public awareness and etc within its special background. Iran computer and video games foundation as a non-profit organization takes charge of different domain support and control in this effective industry under the supervision of Ministry of Guidance. Architecture and computer games in different domains have influenced each other and are interconnected. And since games are played in one space, they require game space designing together with type of the game. So game designers need knowledge and studies in architecture design. Architecture, inventing digital tool, used its features to advance its goals, as games did. Although at first it used them for drawings and visual expressions of ideas, extending these features, they were used in design process. Meanwhile, using digital technics produced specifically for animation making and computer games leaded to their more proximity. In the design of Iran computer and video games center, we tried to use digital features in all steps. Therefore extracting main parameters from the designing process steps and changing them to computer codes (using algorithm), we tried to make its various states producible and to provide the possibility of optimizing the required area, maximum vision to key spaces around the site and also the amount of received light. Also in designing the project facade, after research on various technics of exfoliation and façade design, Media façade was used for a better compatibility with video games. With an approach to creating mobility for the audience and the computer game producers in the greenbelt near the project, physical playgrounds were created for them.…
g? What can be done to speed up the process? Algorithmic Design Workshops is a platform created by ecoLogicStudio to engage these questions introducing novel parametric modeling techniques in the context of architecture and landscape design. Each event will be a opportunity for learning design techniques, testing new methods and debating their potential applications or evolution. Architects, Landscape architects, urban designers and students alike will find in the workshops a unique opportunity to improve their technical skills while confronting themselves with the most debated advanced design subjects.
This workshop, particularly suitable for beginner/intermediate users, offers a playful introduction to algorithmic and computational design with Grasshopper. The ambition is to generate 3 dimensional artificial landscapes based on the recognition of natural pattern formations (valleys, mountains, dunes, marshes, coral reefs, etc.), their subdivision in territories of occupation and the development of related path systems. The workshop will start from processing satellite images of natural formations and extracting patterns from them with the GH point set reconstruction tools. Applicants will than begin the process of generation of 3D architectural landscapes based on a series of structuring operations and negotiations with the project site. An evaluation process will than follow and will allow the recognition of inhabitable spaces, accessible slopes and ground movement volumes.

her bump on the road. I've evolved the original idea into something that remotely resembles this childish doodle:
That is, 3 different rows of panels with fixed heights but random widths. Each panel will be perforated in voronoi patterns that vary according to my original sun intensity diagram, but I'm thinking they'll have a fixed frame width and a small gap between them, kinda like this other childish doodle:
I've mastered the method of turning my original diagram into a voronoi panel that's denser where the sun hits harder thanks to Vicente's method. But it gives the voronoi frames a width by scaling each cell by .9, but that doesn't yield frames with constant width... which is fine for my 3D, but I wanna use the files to draw diagrams for laser cutting and actual building of the panels, so I guess I can't be too precise there.
Again thanks for all the useful (and funny) input! :)

It's at least real code I could translate to my native Python, but I still don't know if it's even possible to solve the math to make things not bulge, as his gives the same result at Millipede:
If I join the four corners of the main box, those four bulges nicely disappear.
His field calculation code is pretty simple, just returning a single field value for a 3D test point input, for a single point or curve being considered, but I don't yet see how they add together to form an overall isosurface:

nd give it love.2. Everything else is to know the nature of the data and components. Data is all: numbers, formulas, colors, lists, branches, graphics, visual representation, connection between data, hierarchies, etc.3. Work, work and work.Have information is know about data, have knowledge is to know how the data is related with everything else and have wisdom is to have the right mental-programs to process data. And then there's the creativity, divergent thinking, ingenuity and talent that make the mental architecture not be something rigid. Then, to carry out algorithms, the mindset I usually follow is, I start with data/parameters to perform a design, and decompose the process into smaller processes that can manipulate. If I'm at a point where I do not know how to do, two things can happen, that I know what I have to do but can not, or not know how to do, the first is probably lack of knowledge aboud data or components, therefore, it is time to learn; and second, rethink the previous processes if I can avoid the problem, which often leads me to redo the whole algorithm, which is not allways bad.In short, delves into the data and components, so your mental program of execution will be more optimal if you know more about posibilities. And think in terms of process, not in terms of outcome. And work, work, work does the rest. There is no trick, just eager to learn. I did not start to understand that it was really the 3d until I began to learn programming, but this way I will advise you when you have confidence using grasshopper.Perhaps is not what you expected, but it all boils down to devote more hours. Grasshopper is easy to use and hard to learn.…
nd me to kill him but give him my regards anyway) is still around in BirdAir Italy ... talk with him.
3. Hope that you understand that designing the "details" means some decent MCAD app + FEA + this + that. "Fusing" this with some abstract graphic editor like GH ... is ... er ... impossible (in real-life, you know, he he ). Generative Components on the other hand may qualify but requires a lot of time in order to fully master it (approx 2-4 years).
