OBJECTIVES:
This exercise was inspired by UN Studio’s project Lane 189 in Shanghai. The main aim was to replicate the hexagonal parametric facade, its grid and provide panels that follow a certain repetitive pattern. The following were kept in mind while computing:
- to understand the grid pattern
- to figure out a method of eliminating panels based on certain parameters
RESULT:
PSEUDO CODE:
- Construct Hexagonal grid of two scales
- Rotate and move the grids to get required pattern overlap
- Explode the hexagons into their individual edges
- List and merge the appropriate edges
- Loft the curves
- Cull the surfaces with reference to the distance from points
- Pipe the required hexagonal grid
- Bake required surfaces
GRASSHOPPER CODE:
VARIATIONS:
- by changing the distance between the attractor points and the lofted surfaces
- by rotating/moving the hexagonal grids
- my lofting different surfaces
