Strip Morphologies by Zubin Khabazi (2011)

Open publication - Free publishing - More algorithms

"After Weaving structures and Porous Shell Systems as generative design experiments, the third of the series ‘Generative Algorithms, Concepts and Experiments’ focused on Strip morphologies as a light weight material system for design. I hope this topic would be useful as a technique / system and be ‘Generative’ for your design purposes"

Generative Algorithms: Porous Shell by Zubin M Khabazi (2011)

Open publication - Free publishing - More algorithm

Introduction by Zubin Khabazi

The idea behind the ‘Generative Algorithms, Concepts and Experiments’ is to explore design and algorithmic solutions through experiments rather than pure geometrical/algorithmic subjects. Using current design problems or ongoing researches, here the development of such subjects pursued with a parametric approach in Grasshopper/Rhino Environment.

This book is a part of a research that was accomplished as a master thesis in Architectural Association, Emergent Technologies and Design course under supervision of Michael Hensel, Mike Weinstock and Achim Menges. In this research, full study of a natural system combined with algorithmic solutions in form-finding techniques to develop an algorithmic design tool. Here just a brief summary of research plus its algorithmic parts reflected. The research titled ‘Algorithmic Morphogenesis’ which generally investigated the field of form generation in algorithmic/digital spaces based on natural processes of form generation in natural organisms.

Introduzione di Zubin Mohamad Khabazi

Avete mai giocato con il LEGO Mindstorms NXT robotic set? Bene, la modellazione associativa è qualcosa del genere. Se tutto inizia a diventare algoritmico e parametrico, perchè non anche l'architettura?.

Durante il mio master "Emergent Technologies and Design (EmTech)" presso l'Architectural Association (AA), ho deciso di condividere l'esperienza nell'ambito degli Algoritmi Generativi e nella modellazione parametrico-associativa con Grasshopper, che trovo essere una piattaforma molto potente per questo tipo

di progettazione.

In questa seconda edizione, così come ho modificato il nome da "Modellazione Algotmica" a "Algoritmi Generativi", ho provato ad aggiornare alcuni esperimenti e temi viste le modifiche che sono state apportate al progetto di Grasshopper, ancora in evoluzione. Spero che questi tutorial vi possano aiutare per capire meglio Grasshopper e gli algoritmi generativi. Mi sarebbe piaciuto aggiornarli, ma bisogna considerare che la maggior parte degli esperimenti e degli esempi sono stati fatti su una versione precedente del plug-in, quindi se trovate delle differenze potrebbe dipendere da questo.

Patrick S. Schumacher: The Autopoiesis of Architecture Vol 1

"(...) Grasshopper seems to be winning out in the competitive struggle for domination as the preferred tool for scripting -at least in the avant-garde segment of the discipline- both on the diagrammatic level as well as on the level of concrete modelling. The great advantange of Grasshopper is that it transposes most of the scripting syntax into graphic network language. The system of parametric dependencies that organizes the internal variability and differentiation of the model can now be configured and manipulated via a second order diagram that controls the first order diagram or model. The fact that this new, crucial domain on design decisions -the choise and elaboration of systematic correlations between the variable elements of the design- is now brought back into the ambit of architecture's specialized medium of communication is perhaps the precondition for full-blown proliferation of parametric scripting techniques within archtiecture and the design disciplines." (Schumacher, 2011:354)
