Results: Complex Geometry and Parametric Design worshop at SIGraDi 2009

After three days of lectures and exercises, Gonçalo Castro Henriques and I focused the workshop Complex Geometry and Parametric Design with Grasshopper on the production of projects for a covering at the patio of the School of Architecture. The requirements were to generate complex skins or structures just with developable components, so that they would be buildable with 2D CNC technology.

We had the honor of presenting the workshop projects to an audience of prominent academics and professionals. Here are some images of the projects:

Rodrigo Medina is a young designer who experiments and teaches object design, experimental architecture, interactive and generative art. In his site Designplaygrounds and on his blog, he publishes his work developed on RhinoScript, Grasshopper, Processing, among others. It is also interesting to follow his Facebook page and Twitter, where he posts updated relevant links.

I had the opportunity of meeting him personally when I invited him to lecture in the digital fabrication course at ESARQ.

Thanks to Rodrigo for reference me in his sites.

RhinoScript consulting for fabrication at ESARQ

On March, taking advantage of my stay in Barcelona, I made some RhinoScript consultancies in Affonso Orciuoli’s course about digital fabrication in the Biodigital Architecture Master program at ESARQ. They also had Pablo Baquero and Daniel Wunsch as collaborators. Some contents are posted on the blog CadCam Architectural Approaches.

Thanks to Affonso for inviting me to his course and to Pablo for inviting to the blog.
