teraction for its Correlations cycle, AA Athens Visiting School scales up its design intentions in order to investigate links among discrete individual architectural systems in its 2013 version, Recharged.
Recharged with interconnectivity on different levels, the theme of investigation will revolve around the design of semi-independent design prototypes acting together to form elaborate unified results. The driving force in Cipher City: Recharged is the synergistic effect behind complex form-making systems where interactive design patterns arise out of a multiplicity of relatively simple rules.
In collaboration with the National Technical University of Athens, Cipher City: Recharged will explore participatory design and active engagement modeling and will continue building novel prototypes upon horizontal planes.
As in 2012, the design agendas of AA Athens and AA Istanbul Visiting Schools will directly create feedback on one another, allowing participation in either one or both Programmes.
Discounts
The AA offers several discount options for participants wishing to apply as a group or participants wishing to apply for both AA Istanbul and AA Athens Visiting Schools:
1. Standard application
The AA Visiting School requires a fee of £695 per participant, which includes a £60 Visiting Membership. If you are already a member, the total fee will be reduced automatically by £60 by the online payment system. Fees are non refundable.

not sure why it broke down again).
I have a the following code written in C#:
namespace blahblah.Extensions{
public static class TransformMethods{
public static AxisAngle ToAxisAngleRepresentation (this Transform m){
//Implemented code here
}
}
}
I have several methods to extend Transform struct, in order to convert 4x4 matrices into different formats e.g. axis-angle representation. In this case the return AxisAngle is one of my custom structs. My desire is to script completely in Python from Grasshopper. However I cannot seem to access these extension methods from there.
I have done the following:
1) I compile "blahblah.dll" and place it in my Grasshopper components directory.
2) To test it I use a C# component and reference the dll from "manage assemblies". The C# component automatically adds "using blahblah.Extensions". I feed in a Transform struct called m and am able to call m.ToAxisAngleRepresentation() without errors. Everything is good. (except maybe intellisense doesn't pick it up the method)
3) Next I wish to do the same thing in a Python component. (Here I am still confused about referencing external libraries). I first add my bin/release folder (where blahblah.dll is located) to my sys.path.
4) Next I add clr.AddReference("blahblah.dll")
5) I add the following line:
from blahblah.Extensions import *
which I would assume is equivalent to "using blahblah.Extensions" in the C# component
6) I then test with the following code:
m = Transform()
m.ToAxisAngleRepresentation()
7) I get the following error: Runtime error (MissingMemberException): 'Transform' object has no attribute 'ToAxisAngleRepresentation'
A further question I have with Python components. If I copy my dlls into the Grasshopper component folders. Do I still need to perform steps 3 and 4?
Thanks!

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?…

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.
sg2013 Constructing for Uncertainty: transition computational design from the hard space of the ideal to the soft reality of an uncertain built environment.

Modulo 1Il 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 2Il workshop, volto a promuovere le nuove tecnologie digitali di supporto alla progettazione e alla fabbricazione, fornirà ai partecipanti gli strumenti per la preparazione, attraverso Grasshopper, dei modelli per il processo di stampa 3d. Il workshop inoltre, darà ai partecipanti i fondamenti dell’uso della stampante 3d e si concluderà con la fabbricazione del proprio modello realizzato durante il corso.

d with the surfaces in the connected HBZones."
* in addition, the surface results could be red by the " Surface data based on type" but could not by the " detailed one". and it showed this Msg "1. Solution exception:'Brep' object has no attribute 'upper'"
* compared to the earlier model, I noticed that the new simulation results have changed a bit, the zones tend to be more "sensitive to sun" as if it have a lower thermal capacity/ less thermal mass, meanwhile the cooling load is reduced!
* although I was able to collect the CSV files form the Run E+ component, the IDF file was showing this error "1. Solution exception:'NoneType' object is unsubscriptable" I thought the IDF file is kind of a early check up for the geometry before running the simulation, as in Chris tutorial (Chris tutorial no 7)
sorry for the very long Msg, I hope I find a way to deeply understand these results. …

been covered since 0051 (correct me if I'm wrong):
1) Shoot for the moon first -- "Control Panel Mode" which allows for advanced interface design. See Max/MSP for example of modal function. I spent a lot of time laying out control panels so they are nice for clients and team members to look at. I spend a lot of time disabling wire display and dragging sliders and panels and graphs around into nice little clusters. Could be something as simple as a mode that disables the view of all component handles, cleans up graph objects, sliders, etc. I know the Remote Control Panel has been requested over and over again since it disappeared, but honestly it wouldn't be much use to me unless it was a full blown customizable interface. In the meantime I'll stick to my own "Canvas Control Panel" methods. (See below...)
2) More control over graph objects. Right now the bar graph for instance automatically sets the lowest and highest value displayed. Would be nice to be able to set extents manually so that you can compare apples to apples on two different lists that have different extents. Also would love to force the bar graph to show all values along x axis, not just first and last. Same goes for showing the numbers of instances for each value. Now it only shows instance numbers in oddball cases. Would like to force them to show for statistical purposes. Love percentages, but usually I also want accurate tallies. I tend to use a member index sets to generate my own lists.
3) Color input for Vectors -- there are fakey fake workarounds but none that are as versatile as simply having a color input.
4) COLOR INPUT FOR TEXT TAGS -- sorry to yell... this one really frustrates me. I often build interactive feedback systems that involve a lot of different types of data, and it is difficult to convey that input when all text is red (or green when selected).
5) Ability to justify text tags using paragraph controls -- currently default is left-justified. Would like to be able to center text horizontally and vertically, among other things.
6) Ability for text tags to handle multi-line text. Not sure the best way to implement this, but often I find myself wanting to attach 3 items of information to a particular object, and I have to string it all together in one line. Would be great if I could insert a "^M" character that stands for carriage return and have that display as multiline text (used in conjunction with above justification controls).
7) More control over Text panels. Thank you for including justification options... but sadly now it begs the question for margin and header control. Text slammed up against the left edge is pretty unsightly. Moreover, if you have labeled a text box, the drop shadow from the title bar tends to overshadow the first line of text if you have Path display turned off. Would like to add some header space to fix the problem and create a cleaner look.
8) Easier access to text font size. Buried in a Special Font... menu. I want to be able to up up down down (left right left right select start) if you know what I mean.
I guess that's it for now... just the things on the top of my head in this category. Looking forward to installing the new release, have to wait until this major project is over though.
Cheers,
Marc

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
Any help appreciated,
Cheers,
