Research on parametric methodologies that combine euclidean, affine and morph transformations in geometries in order to explore opportunities and variations of flexible algorithms in grasshopper.
Typical workflow to design a tower in grasshopper:
- Repeat curves every “a” distance
- Apply euclidean and affine transformations (rotate “b” and scale “c”)
- Loft curves
- Subdivide surface and transform elements by “d” factor
- Transform into a mesh
- Offset “e” + Relax mesh
Euclidean transformations: Translation, Rotation and Reflection
Affine transformations: Scaling, Shearing and Projections
Morph: Topological transformations
On the other hand, the parametric model is transformed to a mesh and basic subdivision methodologies are explored so as to increase the level of complexity.
