[Foam] - 3D Voronoi

Text Current studies regarding urban high density space maximization strategies. During the research a foam logic represented through the 3D voronoi diagram emerged. The system is formed by iterative generated pointclouds responding to low-level rules such as functional distribution, lighting demands and context parameters. Entire studies done in Grasshopper for Rhino with using the 3D voronoi strategies from Dimitrie Stefanescu and Vicente Soler. More to come soon.

[Massing] - Configuration

Text During explorations for the current project, several studies for urban massing distribution emerged. These are done in Grasshopper for Rhino. Furthermore the images show different configurations: striped, fieldlined and clustered. Regarding the clustered option, the densifications are responding to each other in growing and shrinking, or even merging together.

[VisGraph] - Space Analysis

Text Via the visibility graph it is possible to mathematically analyse and display inter-visibility qualities within architectural space. There are plenty of tools doing this sort of thing associated within spatial network analysis software. With Grasshopper for Rhino I've tried to get a real-time feedback method for recent urban massing studies. Thanks to to] for the vb.net scripting part of it!

[Sketch] - Graphhopper

Type Graphic Design
Location Portfolio Hardcopy
Size 21 x 24 cm
Stage In Progress
Date 9th semester

Text Some experimental studies within the fields of graphic and cover design using Grasshopper for Rhino. The hardcover paperback is perforated with a laser cutted pattern created in GH. The simple sketch consists of three lines creating the surface modulation, a subdivision logic and an attractor for size differentiation. First try work in progress.

[RBD WShop] - PROcurtain

Type Workshop & Design Symposium
Location Berlin | Germany
Date May 2009

Text After five days of intense RBD workshop session we came up with several studies regarding developable surface structures developed with parametric design tools i.e. Grasshopper for Rhino. Our proposal regards a programmable curtain reacting on site constrains of the lobby area of the architectural faculty TU Berlin. Consisting of a system of continious differentiating ribbons it seperates and creates space by filtering views through an emerging field of transparancy gradients.

Thanks to project collaborator Astrid Smitham. You can find the detailed RBD workshop blog here and the PROcurtain project here.

[GenerativeMorph] - Typologies

Text For the ongoing project we tried different things in several test field studies. One part of our research regards the continuous morphology of urban typologies. This study is considering the generations between the typology of a block to a single solitaire building. More to follow the next clicks.

[Grasshopper] - Vray Animation

Text Yeeha! Finally with the help of taz and liz from the Grasshopper Google Group we made it to set up a rendered one. All we needed was a little bit of help for a VB code we got from Damien. First test try with a cute little cube.

[AttrRespField] - Ellipse

Text Urban massing field studies of the project we are currently workin on. Definition inputs from Daniel Piker via Magnetic Displace and Dimitrie like usual ;] One of the first steps testing of the development of an active, responding and coherent urban fabric proposal.

[AttrRespSrf] - IRIS

Text Here comes the first small Grasshopper project. The idea is to create a surface able to respond to multiple attractor points in order to take in effect relationships from inside and outside. Thanks to Dimitrie who wrote a short script for solving lofting problems.

Parametric Modelling Workshop @ HTWK Leipzig

Type Parametric Modelling
Location Leipzig | Germany
Stage Workshop
Date 9th Semester

Text After weeks of preparation fighting with financial authories we made it to start our first seminar focused on parametric design techniques! Success so far. For the first semester we are basically exploring the rhino plug-in: grasshopper.

Fortunately we got the chance to work with Dimitrie Stefanescu a student of architecture from bucharest as a guest lecturer. It has been a great time, both professionally and personally, so I'm looking forward inviting him again.
