working in parametric platforms, the design process became more flexible and allowed for more efficient design development.

From Eclipse the file is exported in dxf format and imported in Rhino. There with rhinoscript all the lines are transformed into tubes and through user's input, connections are created in every node.

Photos taken from my 3 day alphagraph workshop in Metz, France. The workshop took place at ESAL Metz art school with 12 students. The basic setup was this :
DAY 1 - explore letter forms with a new digital tool.
DAY 2 - laser cut and make the letters
DAY 3 - print with a printing press
alphagraph is a small parametric tool developed in Processing for exploring letter forms. More can be read at the following address:

Another workshop of this kind had been conducted at ESAD Amiens in March 2016. Further details about this on the website workshop-lettrine-01.esad-amiens.fr/

I mainly popped by to check out the Coca Cola Christmas truck again.
After dark and it was freezing cold, wet, sleeting and raining!
These views from Moor Street Car Park, could not see the Coca Cola truck from up there.

During our hacking holidays at NYC Resistor Marius and me did not only play around with Bre and Zach's awesome Makerbots but also spend quite some time hacking on our parametric modelling plugin for Art of Illusion. It's still not really finished, completely undocumented, and the syntax changes every day, but I just had to give it a try and model parametric Lego-inspired bricks. You can download it at thingiverse here: www.thingiverse.com/thing:591
Of course it does not snap in place as nicely as original lego bricks but it should be good enough to create the custom lego piece you always wanted :)

Adding Spherical Harmonics to surfaceLib. Its only in the svn trunk today, but I will add to the library jar in the next days. Thanks to Cedric to point me to this surface.
I had the opportunity to teach a graduate seminar at the KSA this fall. The course is primarily technical but I have introduced a design bias to encourage responsible deployment of digital technologies. The students began with no knowledge of Grasshopper or parametric modeling, and engaged in exercises and research over the course of 9 weeks.
Given the time frame and the beginning nature of this project, I am quite satisfied with the work that came out of this seminar. Next quarter I will be teaching the seminar again and will have an opportunity to refine the pedagogical approach. I will begin teaching data structures earlier in the course and spend more time discussing the typological research.
Attached is the text from the original flyer:
"Arch 700: Decisive Parametrics: A Grasshopper Primer
Meeting: FA09, Fridays, 9:30am-12:18pm
Instructor: Marc Syp
Widespread familiarity with advanced parametric technology has led to a sophisticated understanding of vector-based geometry and an increasingly facile reading of its formal language. More often than not, the geometry of parametric modeling is a direct reflection of the ability to differentiate granular components in minute increments across a continuum, with a multilayered computational accuracy that borders on fetish. As our understanding of these systems evolves and the shock of the new subsides, it becomes important to redirect and reemploy the parametric model in the service of architecture.
This course will teach parametric modeling with an emphasis on established formal strategies, typological investigation, and a clear decision-making process. Students in this course will learn advanced parametric modeling in Grasshopper, a visual scripting plug-in for Rhino. Students will diagram and analyze common typologies to identify opportunities for surgical intervention, and then apply advanced parametric modeling techniques, in a controlled manner, to explore new responses to persistent architectural questions.
Strong Rhino skills are recommended. Knowledge of Grasshopper is helpful but not necessary."
These photos document a visit to see 'Limbo Lounge,' the recently completed restaurant / bar by Vicente Gullart [ www.guallartblog.com ] near Playa de Fora del Forat in Vinaros, España (about 2 hours south of Barcelona near Valencia). I had the pleasure of working on this project beginning with the early design phases through construction documentation and fabrication. The project relied heavily on Parametric Modeling in Top Solid (Missler). Rhinoscript was used to develop design concepts and to measure / annotate / archive each unique piece with Excel in order to seamlessly communicate with the fabricator. The design went through several iterations, each one evaluated against steel costs and structural feasibility before arriving at the constructed solution.
Please let me say that MANY people contributed to this project. This information needs to be compiled, and full credits will appear soon.
