We are happy to post our first entry of our new DOWNLOADS category. Like a small but growing number of other architecture offices (such as Ecosistema Urbano and Arquitextonica), we believe that sharing content can be useful, productive and not anti-economic. In other words, we believe in an Open Culture. That's why on this post we want to share with you a free download format, a rhinoscript code (see video above) that we developed for a skylight design in China, which can help with understanding the concept of double and single curvature geometry. If you are new to rhinoscript it may help you to have a look at THEVERYMANY, where you will get a better idea of what can be achieved within this format. 2009-06-14 3D model scripted 100 This code was written to achieve a free-form skylight design with a glass roof, a cable truss and 100 shading blades. The script was necessary due to the time it would have taken in drawing the elements one by one. If you are architect and used to working with complex geometries and surfaces, you are probably aware of the difficulties and intricacies of double curved surfaces. In many of our projects at HDA we have to deal with these issues on a regular basis. The basic premise is that you have a free-form surface and it has to be built. A free-form surface (with double curvature) is difficult to build because the surface is not developable; you can't unfold or unroll it, so you can't build it from a folded flat panel (ie glass or ruled metal <b>...</b> |
