Strip Morphologies: v2

Strip Morphologies: v2 Testing of the Strip Morphologies Grasshopper model. This model works in coordination with the parametric tower definition for the upcoming Grasshopper workshop in Dallas. The strips contoured around the generated form react to solar position as well as the gradient map developed in Ecotect. The definition is to be used as an [...]

Auto Generated Architecture

Auto Generated Architecture This article is written after much internal debate over the last few years on the ideas of optimization and the quest for solutions of a fittest model, especially in lieu of new rampant generic parametric models. It is as much a critique on my own past ideologies as those which are becoming [...]

Tower Example

-Images from a Grasshopper 3D skyscraper example. The example will be used as part of an upcoming workshop in Dallas, Texas to teach GH for beginners as well the integration of GH into the design process. The tower example will help to teach basic fundamental aspects of constructing a basic floor and skin structure. Participants [...]

Bulbs

-Grasshopper testing for a rough mock-up model. Concept is for a thick bulbous-like growth of vessels and tubes to create both softscape and habitable shelter beneath. The modules then sway in the wind and react to solar radiation levels, much like a field of flowers.

Fabrication Samples

Fabrication studies for punched metal screen facade explores variations in hole diameter per dye sizing and the incremental range between punches. The pattern of the punches are sized to suggest shading as light filters through the leaves of a forest canopy.

Morphogenetic Structuralism

-Testing of a particle system written with Python; the particles are reacting to attractors, velocity, cohesion, and gravity within a field aggregating with minimum and maximum ‘strut’ lengths.

Biophilia + Technophilia: Final Narrative

Biophilia : Technophilia (Final Narrative) Throughout the course of human evolution our lives have become intrinsically tied to the evolution of technology to the point where these two trajectories have become one of an interwoven existence as they continue to become interconnected through the progression of time. Infatuations with biology and technology spurred by the [...]

Biophilia : Technophilia 75%

-Increasing cultural infatuations with technology and biology have created a society of biophilia and technophilia, where these ideaologies have seeped into nearly every facet of human existence. With architecture dependantly bound to the technologies of human creation, as we are able to manipulate biological matter at the unit of the molecule, simulate complex biological systems [...]
