ABOUT

The following project is developed at the 2022 Digital Tools for Cloud Based Data Management seminar, is to present a workflow to allow parametric designers to use the power of computing to design an interactive 3D Web based application. This will allow student to use their parametric designing skills in grasshopper and convert grasshopper definitions to an application on web, to Rhino on the cloud and access it from many devices with an internet connection.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this project is to offer computational design service to potential clients and offer them  parametric design as a service on web allowing users to explore multiple design options. For this easy collaboration Kit of Parts project uses a grasshopper definition that is based on Wasp plugin. And the leverage the use of HTML, CSS, JavaScript along with threejs library, Heroku App-Service and Rhino Compute AppServer a free service to From McNeel to Run Grasshopper Scripts on Web.

The project uses some predefined geometric parts internalised in the grasshopper script.

The webapp gives the functionality to explore different aggregation models on web by using the aggregate slider.

Kit-of-Parts–WebApp–RhinoComputerAppserver is a project of IAAC, Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia developed at MaCAD (Masters in Advanced Computation for Architecture & Design) in 2021/22 by student: Naitik Sharma and faculty: David Andres Leon and Hesham Shawqy
