and pioneers in the fields of architecture, design and engineering.
The event will be in two parts, a four day Workshop 15-18 April, and a public conference beginning with Talkshop 19 April, followed by a Symposium 20 April. The event follows the format of the highly successful preceding events sg2010 Barcelona, sg2011 Copenhagen, and sg2012 Troy.
The Challenge for sg2013 is entitled Constructing for Uncertainty.

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.

main attention is set on easy to handle interface , which should be used at a early stage of conceptual design to respond to external and internal influences in a intelligent and sustainable way.
Participants will use the software Grasshopper as a parametric modeling plug-in for Rhino. The usage of this graphical algorithm editor tightly integrated with Rhino’s 3-D modeling tools open up the possibility to construct highly parametrical complex models. To generate this complexity we will use live linkages to several programs listed below:
• Autodesk Ecotect Analysis and Radiance via GECO
• Processing, Excel or Open Office via gHowl
• FEA software GSA via SSI
In this 3 intense days, the participants should learn the workflow of the plug-ins with the help of examples and get an overview of the different software’s, there possibilities for evaluating the performance of a design or the usage of additional tools to be not chained to a single system .
(e.g. parametrical accentuation, parametrical formation, parametrical reaction)

hed rhino file and i want to realize this form with the grasshopper definition from liftarchitects (Waffle Structural System.ghx ) to understand the backround of parametric design.
and now, there are some questions and problems to solve:
problem 1:why is there so much chaos with the Projected X Strut Curves especially on x strut 20
t
problem 2:why are they not on the cplane like the Projected Y Strut Curves
problem 3:when i compare the Projected Strut Curves with the Original Solid Struts,
the notches are not equal (is this just an interpolation thing - maybe i get in trouble with the connections of the x and y struts, if i want to lasercut the ribs)
problem 4:is it possible on an easy way to extrude the top srf of the Original Solid X Struts and the bottom srf of the Original Y Solid Struts by a slider
It would be great if someone could help me
thanx in advance

length.
How can I grab:
all points that result from the division of 1unit
all points that result from the division of 2units
all points that result from the division of 3units
all points that result from the division of 4units
And of course, supposing the number of lines changes, the values of the divide also change, and the nr of values of the divide also change.
Thing is Im currently working with 20 lines and 5 values of distance, that makes 100branches!
Thanks for any insight.

cs algorithms are ill-suited to calculating the transmission of a partially open screen. The sampling of rays required, and indeed the lack of actual wave-based movement of sound intensity makes them only suitable for large scale studies of spaces making the following assumptions, among others:
- The primary behavior of sound can be described by rays
- Diffraction lends only low significance effects
- Few, preferably no obstructions between the source and reciever
With regard to sound hitting a partially open screen, a variety of behaviors come into play. Sound moves in and out and around various points of a screen - meaning that rays can not describe the behavior of sound for such small delicate structures.
The good news is that some of the latest versions of Pachyderm also employ numerical methods. Try typing "Pachyderm_Numeric_Timedomain into the command prompt, and you'll get the controls for the Finite Volume Method. This method accounts for wave-based phenomena.
Now more bad news: The method does not have implemented an insertion loss calculation, so you would have to work in the source code to implement it, and it still does not have materials implemented (that last part may not be terribly important unless you intended to use porous sound absorptive materials).
So, in any case, I don't recommend using Pachyderm to determine the sound transmission of your design. Now for some more good news - you can do a rough calculation on a calculator, making a few assumptions, if you know the open area of your screen. Let's say that we assume your materials do not transmit at all (which they won't, but they will transmit far less than any opening in the screen). So let's assume you design a 50% open area screen. The transmission loss of the assembly, independent of octave band will be at most:
TL = 10*log10(0.5) = 3 dB
This means that the noise from your source will be 3 dB less on the quiet side of the screen than it will be on the railway side of the fence. Let's say that isn't enough... ok 20% open.
TL = 10*log10(0.2) = 7 dB
So now it is 7 dB less on the quiet side than it is on the rail side (it will probably be up to 3 dB louder at low frequencies, but this is a rough estimate).
So now the last bit of bad news - it is difficult, maybe impossible to get a strong amount of attenuation with a screen with open area. Even with a wall with no open area, the maximum attenuation will be 20 dBA. When you open it up, this will severely hamper the isolation of the screen. I hope this helps.

Scott Crawford of LMN's innovative Tech Shop has been empowering non-techie architects to explore design variations, giving lighting and energy performance feedback. For the Cleveland Medical Mart and Convention Center, the designers "painted" facade possibilities in Photoshop that were translated to parametric window patterns. The resulting patterns were optimized for building performance as well as aesthetic effect, then codified into Revit family members. Textures for adjacent wall panels were 3D printed and cast to examine aggregations. A negative was milled at full-scale for the pre-cast panels. In the Tech Shop, the team has worked with a wide variety of architectral software for modeling, fabrication, lighting, structural, wind and energy analysis. They even rigged up a Kinect movement sensor and projector to make a table work like an enormous iPad. Scott has developed great communication skills by teaching at University of Washington, where he earned both a Master of Architecture and a Master of Science in Design Computing.

t lengths and panels, and a system for identifying where each strut and panel will go (so as to avoid building the world's worst / hardest 3d puzzle)
If you look at how people have overcome this for simple surfaces such as domes, the nodes are often either crude or ugly and there are only 3 different nodes, 3 different strut lengths and 2 panels (for a 3rd order geodesic).
If you do what you are proposing for a geodesic dome, you get half an icosohedron (20 sided shape made up of equilateral triangles) and it then seems impossible to approximate complex surfaces with only equilateral triangles (I might be wrong)
If you could determine the geometry for each node and had a very big budget, you could 3d print each unique node and identify it. You can certainly, easily identify and cut varying length struts, and you can do the same with panels unless you wanted to stamp them (i.e. waterjet cut or CNC router to cut a nest of the panels.) It would still be quite a mission to assemble all this though!
I had the same problem that you have when I wanted to build a geodesic dome... I thought I could just print the nodes, cut all the struts and panels the same and start assembling... then I realised I could only do that for an icosohedron.

the iteration process of the fitness in the picture:
I think the problem is the settings for the used evolutionary solver which are:
Population: 20
Initial boost: 3
Maintain: 5%
Inbreeding: 75%
Anyone who know what could be better as index? I think the problem might be something with the "Maintain" or "inbreeding" indexes?
Hope someone can help me and thank you very much!

instead of 10. The count seems ok, but no1 gets repeated in the bottom of every element.
When I flatten the last segment I get 10 values, & the count seems random but there are no extra values at the bottom.
Any idea what is going wrong here?
Thanks a lot
