PAVILION
2018 MA project by Nany Stausebach
Grasshopper is an intelligent program and great tool for Designers and Architects that opens many possibilities. Through defining of some variables and the direction of movements you can create any parametric structure and change its shape again and again without redrawing the whole construction.
CODE DEVELOPMENT
01 Choose Multiple Points in Rhino and create an Interpolate Curve out of it. This will be the axis of the model.
​
02 Copy the achses and Move it in Y direction (y+n; y-n) to create the start and end points for the pavilion curves. This is also defining the way through my ready pavilion.
03 Create more Interpolated Curves with Multiple Points. Rearranging the XZY elements of the points will give the model a different shape.the number and angle of the Perp Frames.
​
04 Create a Lofted Survace through the interploated curves.
05 Generate equally spaced, perpendicular frames along the axis with the Perp Frames tool. The number of the frames can be arranged with a Number Slider.
​
06 Brep | Plane is creating sections from the surface related to the number and angle of the Perp Frames.
07 The Vector function reads out the Z vector of the Perp Frames. This one is needed to extrude the sections in the right angel, parallel to the Perp Frames. With the Multiplication Tool in combination with a Number Slider, we can arrange the thickness of our extrudution.
