ally to describe a process of repeating objects in a self-similar way. Simply stated, the definition of a recursive function includes the function itself. Fractals are among the canonical examples of recursion in mathematics and programming. A loop can simply be a way to apply the same operation to a list of elements, but it is an iterative loop if the results from one step are used in the calculation of the next step. In design research controlling recursion becomes a new strategy to define new forms and spaces.
BRIEF
In this workshop we will be exploring iterative strategies through parametric design. Main tool for the course will be grasshopper3d and its add-on Anemone. Anemone is a simple but effective plug-in for Grasshopper that enables for loops in a simple and linear way. We will explore several strategies such iterative growth, L systems, fractals, recursive subdivisions and more. Our course will focus on how those methods can affect three-dimensional geometries, generating unexpected conformations.

ELEVATIONPLAN
What I need to do is create a mesh network that is composed of straight segmented pieces. To start, I contoured the surface at 500mm segments in the X and Y axis, getting a mesh grid [below]
Then, I wrote a simple grasshopper script to segment the contour lines, but when I run it, the segments in the X direction and the Y direction do not intersect like I need them to.
I understand why this happened and I understand what I need to do (in concept) but I can't seem to figure out how to implement it.
I'm pretty sure that I need to take the original contours and find the intersecting points and include it in my set of points from DivLength command. My problem is that in the list, the numbers get all jostled up and when I Pline the list of points, it goes a bit crazy. My questions are:
1. Is this the best method of going about this process of creating the segmented mesh?
2. How do I reassemble the list of the two point groups I added?
Thanks in advance!
Best,
Issac

e a critical environment for speculation on the possible transformations of the contemporary human body.
The workshop focuses on the research of geometrical explorations, aesthetic behavior of generative patterns and material performance through medium between computational design, digital fabrication and traditional sartorial techniques in haute couture fashion.
By integrating Design, Fashion and Architecture, the relationship between digital patterns and the human body will be crucial in order to adopt a contemporary language and translate it to a design that is both functional and physically appealing.
In Biology, tissues are organizations of similar cells that are composed of organs and living organisms. Due to the specific qualities of singles cells, some peculiar functions of the tissue emerge; conditioning its effectiveness and determining its’ contribution to the life of the organism. The same biological principles can be applied to any design: when the designer explores these particular parametric strategies, it is important to work with a tool that provides efficient feedback and allows one to easily introduce a wide range of variations leading to significant qualities for a design evolutionary process.
The workshop aims to produce full human scale 1:1 prototype wearable garments, in which will be exhibited during Milan Design Week in April 2017 at SBODIO32 Exhibition.

S of elements (chain links in this case), work first at low resolution to reduce compute time and avoid freeze-ups! When the model looks right you can increase resolution (i.e., the number of contours/links in this case).
The first effort (chainmail_2017Jan18b.gh) is getting points at the intersection of contour lines from two planes, XY and YZ, then getting surface normals for those points to 'Orient' the pair of links. This required ignoring all the extraneous points (due to multiple surfaces making up the "polysurface") returned by 'Srf CP (Surface Closest Point)' using two criteria: the 'D (Distance)' value and the 'uvP' coordinates that indicate an edge point (x=0 or 1, y=0 or 1).
Using the YZ plane worked well for the front and back surfaces but results in sparse points on the sides. Using the XZ plane instead has the opposite effect. Would be great if they could be blended somehow (animated gif):
Ultimately, it would probably work best to treat the body section and the arm as two different cylinders with contours conforming better to each surface separately.
The second method (chainmail_2017Jan18c.gh) uses only XY contours and 'DivLength' (divided by length), similar to a brick wall:

ged name as newer versions of GH have been released. Discussed in detail in the link above is the Create Facility which allows you to type the name of a component with out having to locate it on the tool bar, this returns the most likely candidates. eg Cull. I've given the example of both name and icon so that you can see the differences.
Cull Pattern will remove items from a a list based on a True/False pattern
Area will return both the Area and the Centroid of a surface
Surface CP(Closest Point) willl find the location on a surface of a Point in 3D space. It will return the 2D (U,V) co-ordinate of the Surface space
Amplitude allows you to set the length of a vector. Useful when moving objects etc
Project (in this case project to a BRep) will intersect a Curve with a BRep from a given direction
Merge - simply merges two lists (however Path Structure plays an important role with the results eg {0;0} will be merged with {0;0} but not with {0;1} or {0;0;0} etc
Solid Difference will remove the intersection of one solid object from another.

To recreate this i wrote a gh-file with Hoopsnake. But I seem to get stuck on a part where i think the problem lies within the data i get from some parts. I am quite a beginner in grasshopper and rhino but have come as far that the surface at least wants to subdivide.
Problem:
I think I cannot get the proper data out of the image for the subdivision to work. (Or I havent found a way to do so)
Goal:
What i want to reach is that the surface divides into smaller square surfaces on the places where the black&white picture is more black. The white parts in the picture should have bigger square surfaces.
For a next step I would like to be able to change the 'gradient' of the subdivision, where i can change the level of shade needed for the subdivision. This allows me to reach different variants on 1 picture
Also i would like to make a 3d model out of this: By giving the big surfaces alot of height, and the smaller surfaces a smaller height, it would be possible to make a kind of 'landscape' of the picture.
Could anyone help me with this? Or some tips/tutorials?
Cheers

2. WORKSHOP (23-27 April 2014)
A 5 day Design-Based Research Workshop exploring new techniques in Digital Architecture/Fabrication, with a specific focus on the use of generative systems and parametric modeling as tools for creative expression.
Our ultimate goal is to increasing the efficiency of utilizing digital tools in parallel with geometric performance of the primitive design agent.
+ + CONCEPT
Fashion and Architecture are both based on basic life necessities – clothing and shelter.
However, they are also forms of self-expression – for both creators and consumers.
Both fashion and architecture affect our emotional being in many ways.
The agenda of this workshop is to investigate on the overlap between these two areas of design, art & fashion.
Fashion and architecture express ideas of personal, social and cultural identity, reflecting the concerns of the user and the ambition of the age. Their relationship is a symbiotic one and throughout history, clothing and buildings have echoed each other in form and appearance. This only seems natural as they not only share the primary function of providing shelter and protection for the body, but also because they both create space and volume out of flat, two-dimensional materials.
While they have much in common, they are also intrinsically different – address the human scale, but the proportions, sizes and shapes differ enormously.
+ + + OBJECTIVES
So far, Architects have been using techniques such as folding, bending etc. to create space, structural roofs or different other structural shapes.
The agenda of this workshop goes further with the investigation of algorithmic thinking through generative tools Integrated in design.
The challenge is creating a bridge that connects these two areas of design, architecture and fashion that perform at two opposite scales.
+ + + + TECHNICAL BRIEF
In the early stages physical models and low-tech strategies will be used, allowing the participants to gain a greater understanding of materials, fabrication and assembly methods as well as simple, yet pragmatic structural solutions.
Later in the workshop these strategies will be digitalized and elaborated using software visualizing tools such as Rhinoceros and the algorithmic plug-in Grasshopper.…
