We’re continuing progress with Dassault Systèmes on implementing Catia into architectural process. Our first course of study aims at the Grasshopper/Catia workflow, and since our previous post, we’ve delved into Knowledgeware, the scripting platform for Catia.
SF Field Trip
We made a visit to SF for the 2013 KA Connect conference and managed to stop by Kreysler & Associates, and PATH while we were there.
Processing Iteration Viewer
This post highlights our evolving efforts to use Processing for viewing images and performance metrics of a large number of iterations generated in Grasshopper.
Single Line Font for Fabrication
A common part of fabrication is labeling the parts to make assembling easier, but typical TrueType fonts generally aren’t ideal for fabrication. After looking into them a little, we discovered …
Mesh Split in Grasshopper
This definition works for splitting a mesh with a set of a curves (lines, polylines, compound curves, etc.) by using a series of steps as described in the list below. The sample Grasshopper file we’ve uploaded is set up to work in the XY plane, but can be quickly edited to work with other planes.
Grasshopper in the Office
The Grasshopper plugin for Rhino has been a great addition to our design workflows in part because of the community that uses it and continues to make great plugins for …
Join LMNts
LMN Architects is seeking a Visualization Specialist to become part of its full time staff in Seattle Washington. As a central firm resource, the Visualization Specialist will be part of …
Fluids in Processing
We recently checked out the MSAFluids library for Processing, a fluid simulation engine based on Navier-Stokes equations. This is modeled off of Jos Stam’s algorithms which are used for gaming and animations. Not physically accurate, but visually awesome.
Casting Experiment
We’ve started exploring ways of casting some of the pieces that we previously showed in the post on Acoustic Reflection Patterns and thought we’d share what’s been done so far. The diffusive …
Thanks for the Votes!
We learned today that we won three awards in the 2013 A+ Architizer Awards; a Jury Award for Modeling, and the Popular Choice Awards for Modeling and Fabrication.
