Arthur Mamou-Mani's Videos (Grasshopper) - Grasshopper

Karen Millen Christmas Window, London

2013-11-22T17:32:19.359Z

Second collaboration with the Karen Millen store on Regent Street, London. I used Kangaroo to test the folds and controlled the sizes of the folds in relation to curve with Grasshopper. It is made of Laser-cut Polypropelene sheets. More info: http://mamou-mani.com/KarenMillenXmas/

The Magic Garden - Karen Millen RIBA Regent Street Window Display 2013

Thought it might be interesting for GH users to see the process behind the piece. More info: http://mamou-mani.com/karenmillen/

‘The Magic Garden’ installation by Mamou-Mani is part of the Regent Street Windows Project 2013 organized by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). It has been designed to animate and seamlessly link all the windows of the store with one beautiful fluid form. By using both digital and physical techniques, the architect has shaped light-diffusing polyamide mesh fabric to maximise its structural qualities and interact with the mannequins . The result reflects the precision of both tailoring and architecture as well as the colour and lightness of the Karen Millen SS13 collection.

Fabric Pinching Physics Simulation

2013-04-09T20:08:24.194Z

Simulation showing the behaviour of a "thick" fabric when it is being pinched at specific points. It uses hinge forces on Kangaroo for Grasshopper and was part of the design process for a window display installation for Karen Millen's store on Regent Street.

Rotating Lines

2012-09-30T02:28:31.261Z

This is a very simple example of recursion using Hoopsnake by Volatile Prototype for Grasshopper: A line rotates on another line and this new line becomes the currrent one on which the rotation is done and so one and so forth. Depending on the angle of the rotation and its location on the curve, these amazing patterns get created. The exercise was prepared for a workshop with DS10 (WeWantToLearn.net) and Inter9 (Chris Pierce, Chris Matthews) at the Architectural Association.

Catenary Trail

2012-09-30T00:21:58.361Z

This video shows the trail left by points constrained by springs, end points and gravity. The Arch moves up and to the side, leaving a beautiful trace which reminded me of the pictures of Edouard Muybridge. The video was done using Rhinoceros, Grasshopper and the free Kangaroo plugin by Daniel Piker. The exercise was prepared for a workshop with DS10 (WeWantToLearn.net) and Inter9 (Chris Pierce, Chris Matthews) at the Architectural Association.
