Parametric Modeling Studies
Summer 2020
1_ The Delaunay Triangulation Façade Project is a randomized, triangulated pattern on a glass curtain panel that varies in depth. Grasshopper was used randomly populate points on a surface (which was pre-modeled in Rhino) and then used to connect these points using the Delaunay edge node. The aim was for a triangulated pattern that was not uniform in placement, but consistent in size. Additionally, three materials were randomly assigned to the triangles to create variation on the curtain panel.
2_ The Parametric Brick Façade Project is based off the work of KO Studio’s Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech. To recreate a similar design approach, an attractor point was used manipulate the depth of bricks. The attractor point affected an area that could be modified to become smaller or larger, and random points within that area were separated out to not be affected by the attractor point, which created a softer, more natural gradient in the pattern.
