the use of digital technologies as architectural design tools. The workshop " Computer Aided Design: parametric design and digital fabrication " aims to do some introductory teaching in the use of some of these tools.
The workshop will focus on the use of computational models of parametric behavior for generating architectural forms. The generative capacity of these models it will be tested in the development of designs defined by repetitive non-standard components, based on the parametric control of its variations and series differentiations. This process will be developed by the use of a three-dimensional modeling software - Rhinoceros, associated with an application for visual programming - Grasshopper.
The last day of the workshop is dedicated to the use of digital manufacturing tools in architecture. Part of the work will take place at the facilities of the Institute of Design of Guimarães (IDEGUI) providing for the use of their laboratories and manufacturing CNC machines (computer numerically controlled).
At the end of the workshop, it is intended the students to understand that the use of digital technologies in architecture can overcome representational functions, and their integration in the design conception, analysis and construction enriches the methodology of project development.
Terms & Participants
The workshop will take place at the School of Architecture of the University of Minho (Campus Azurém, Guimarães) and the Institute of Design of Guimarães (Couros, Guimarães).

ne. Though I suppose providing a help file which lists some useful tricks for some operations would be a good place to start.
It would be possible to add persistent undo to Clusters, and it wouldn't even be that difficult. Adding undo data into the GH file is something I've been meaning to add since the first day of undo/redo, and the plumbing is in fact there, but it was never fully hooked up. I will definitely try this for GH2. And I'll also have a think about how to implement version history for clusters.
Phew, my brain hurts even just to think about this. I suppose step one would be to write a clever merge algorithm for two files that have some things in common and some not. But even that will be tricky as heck.
This is a major problem. First of all, running the solver in a thread and keeping the UI alive will only slow things down even more. On a file which takes 15 minutes to solve that's no big deal, but you certainly don't want to be adding a 20 millisecond delay to a solution which only takes 30 milliseconds.Multi-threading will be something I'm going to try and implement in GH2, but there's only so much I can do. If you run a solid boolean operation on a boatload of shapes, it's a single operation that is performed inside Rhino and there's nothing I can do to make it run on multiple threads. This is in general an issue, sometimes it takes a long time because there are many operations to perform; like offsetting 2500 curves. I can probably multi-thread that provided the Rhino curve offsetter is thread-safe. However stuff may also take a long time because there is a single operation (like the aforementioned huge solid boolean).Lastly, I have no way to predict how long a component is going to take. I can probably work out how far along in steps a component is, but not how far along in time.
What would you do with a solver which runs in the background? How does it differ from only running solutions when you want to? Let's say the solver is threaded and the canvas remains responsive. As soon as you make a change to the GH file, the solver needs to be terminated as it is now computing stale data. Wouldn't it be just as effective to disable the solver, make all the changes you want to make, then press F5?
Just because something runs in a thread doesn't mean you can shoot it in the head any time you want without consequences. Aborting threads typically means setting a boolean somewhere and then letting the thread commit suicide, while performing all the necessary cleanup. If you just destroy a thread there's no saying in what state you leave the memory.
I think a good place to start with these sort of problems is to keep on improving clusters, add more flexible structuring UI such as Layers or Filters or Pages or whatever to the canvas, add ways to share data between remote parts of a file without suffocating the display with wires, and to provide easy ways to temporarily disable parts of a file (think of it as Clipping planes for GH). That way you can make local changes and see local effects before solving the entire file again.
I'm certainly impressed by the sheer extent of the file you people made, it will be a lovely test case for UI improvements.

er" logic but it miss when comes the copy or offset.
Here is my following logic
Take the square of 25 m x 12 m ; make it a surface
I divide it in "blades" of 20 cm
I take the edges of the "blades",
I divide this edges in 40 points (or equivalent) (A)
I identify my curves (curves) which are on the floors, which are curves (B)
First i do this "test" :
for each crossroad between A and B, i make a circle of X cm (slider) of diameter and the rule is the following :
* In this circle, the future movement of my A curve must be at Z = 0
Second step :
for each next point, i have to : leave a copy on Z = 0 and rise the second one for a heigh of Y cm (slider) from the ground.
the next (W = slider to chose every each number of point, i decide to do the following point) point, which is a little bit farer from the previous point, must duplicate the same height of Y ; and also be copied to Y + Y cm.
There is a Z number (slider) which is the max height possible for these points, which mean that the next point must be at this very same level except ... The third step scenario.
The purpose is to be able to have flat area, like step in a stairway.
Third step :
The grasshopper must test if the A points are between two or more "area at Z = 0". Why ?
The goal is to obtain something like screen "side view" if there are two starting points at Z = 0.
Which also mean that if there is an odd number of points, the remaining odd number must be at the top of the "stairs"
At this point of the grasshopper, we might be able to obtain, thanks to the sliders the "staircase form" regarding :
- The size of the test circle between A and B curves
- The "footstep" of each points (height)
- The number of points before a "copy of the point + the next footstep rise"
- The max heigh possible for all the point off B curves
And at this moment i have a new problem in my logic. You will get my idea, but it might be wrong as well...
Therefore, and after that, we should be able to link every point by a straight line.
To fillet with P (angle) a line with the following one
To join all the line of a same B curve
To cut it at the center of each circle at Z = 0 (the crossroad of A and B)
To offset it with Q (distance)
To rise a line from the center of each circle at Z = 0
To cut the extra part of each Offset"ed" curve to get an offset curve "aligned in Z" with the original one.
To create loft the original and offset"ed" one
To extrude the surface to a distance of R
And grasshopper "should be done" because, i will duplicate it for the ceiling, reverse the form with a -Z vector to the Y value and modifie my Z in Z' to modify my max height
Could you help me ?

ly one (Cost of the structural material in my case) and penalize the individuals that not satisfy the structural verification by multipliyng the cost for that iteration for a factor 10. This seem to work really good, infact I obtained a convergence of the results in a specific area and number of beams.
Now, I've to modify something because the thickness of the insole, tend to minimum of the range (only because it's the most expensive material in my case), despite the validation of structural verification that is satisfied with the maximum height of the beams.
I'm expecting a insole thickness about 20-30 cm and beams height less that the maximum. I increase the range of the thickness insole to a minimum of 20 cm, but I hope the solution tend to a larger value.
Do you have some suggestion in this case?
Your post was really helpful, thank you so much again for the perfect explanation!

use I don't agree with the practice of using site EUI as a metric to evaluate the thermodynamic performance, environmental impact, or monetary value of a building. I disagree with this practice for the same reason that there are no "totalThermalLoad" and "thermalLoadBalance" for simulations run with full HVAC. I can summarize these reasons in the following way:
When we run a simulation with ideal air loads, the heating/cooling values we get are THERMAL ENERGY that is directly added to or removed from the zone. In this way, we can draw a rough parallel between these two types of energy since they are are generally of a similar type and quality. As such, I am ok with adding them together to get total thermal load or subtracting them to get a sense of thermal load balance.
However, when we run a simulation will full HVAC, the heating/cooling values that we get are usually HEATING FUEL ENERGY and ELECTRICITY respectively. Fuel energy and electricity are fundamentally two different types and qualities of energy. To cite the second law of thermodynamics, the exergy (or the capacity to do work) of electricity is much greater than that of fuel. This is evident in the fact that, to produce a given unit of electricity, I often have to burn at least 3 units of fuel energy (though this can be much more for inefficient plants). With each step in a power plant - making steam, turning a turbine, turning a generator - there are significant energy losses. This difference in exergy is also evident in the fact that there are so many more things that I can do directly with a unit of electricity than I can do with the same unit of fuel energy. I can use electricity to directly refrigerate, produce light energy or power a motor just as easily as I can use to to cook, produce hot water, or heat a space. While I can cook, make hot water, or heat a space directly with fuel energy, refrigeration and lighting are much more difficult. For this reason, I do not feel comfortable adding electricity and fuel together either in the totalThermalLoad output or in a site EUI metric.
Still, the use of site EUI has become so ingrained in the industry that I have to acknowledge it and at least show users how it's calculated. In my view, it's an ad-hoc metric that was invented to deal with previously limited amount of information on energy sources.
Instead of using site EUI, I would recommend using the following metrics depending on what you are trying to evaluate:
Utility Cost / Square Meter - to measure the monetary value of a building to an owner or user
Kg CO2 / Square Meter - to measure the environmental and climatic impact of a building
Emergy / Square Meter - to measure the overall thermodynamic performance of a building
The first two are actually fairly easy to calculate these days just by researching your site's utility rates or grid energy mixture and multiplying the building electricity or fuel by their respective rates. I will add in some capabilities to Honeybee soon to make it even easier for you to get these values from your EPW file and databases of utility rates/grid mixture. Emergy is much harder to calculate as you have to trace all your energy sources all of the way back to the sun but there are a number of experts at work to make this calculation possible (probably in the next few years, we may have much easier ways to calculate it).
Hope this helps explain the current setup.
