BRIEF
The project aimed to replicate a parametric facade system by creating a script on grasshopper for Rhinoceres3D while also exploring the process of animation through geometry.
REFERENCE
The Bad Cafe by Nudes is a yoga, gastronomical experiences, and cultural event space for music, art, performances, intellectual discourse, and fashion in Mumbai, India. Remotely located from traffic snarls and insulated from typically high levels of air and sound pollution, the project is sheathed in tranquility and peace. The dynamic “skin”, all of 25,992 black cylindrical conduits grafted into CNC’d aluminum composite box panels with acupuncture-like precision shares a peaceful co-existence with its neighbors, its presence gradually unveiled as one meanders through the narrow by-lanes of the historical urban fabric. The porous, perforated nature of the skin allows the project to breathe and ventilate thereby reinforcing the relationship between the inside and outside, between body and soul.

Deconstructing The Facade
Deconstruction of elements of the parametric facade
Pseudo Code
- Construct vertical surface
- Divide the surface into points
- Create a circle at each point
- Set attractor points (these points can be moved around to create different patterns)
- Extrude Circle (length of the extrusion will be determined by how close the circle is to the attractor points)
- Offset resultant tubes
- Cap to create geometry similar to PVC tube
The Script
Setting center points and extruding circles on grasshopper
Setting up attractor points using cull patterns in Grasshopper
Animation
