Pear Biomimetics

A research project for the introduction of biomimetics as an architectural design strategy based on Louis Sullivan’s methods for developing botanical forms, digital visualization and Rapid Prototyping techniques.

During the process, I learned NURBS modeling, I improved skills for working on isosurfaces with metaballs, and I came out with an idea of a system of urban development in a high-sloped site.

The project was directed by Dennis Dollens, professor of Architectural Projects 1.1 at the Master in Genetic Architecture, ESARQ – UIC, 2003.

This project has been exhibited in ‘Emergence: Visualization, Parametrics, Manufacturing’ at the H2O Gallery, Barcelona, March 2003; and published in the book: ‘Genetic Architectures / Arquitecturas genéticas’, SITES Books/ESARQ - UIC, Barcelona, 2003.

Hello World!

I’ve created this blog some months ago, and I haven’t made some time to work on it. So, with this post I’m inaugurating it.

Since I’ll be posting thinks about my work on digital technologies and strategies for design and fabrication, I’m going to begin with the first script I’m used to teach: The Hello World Script.

Call HelloWorld()
Sub HelloWorld()
    Dim Name
    Name = Rhino.GetString("What's your name?")
    Call Rhino.MessageBox(Name & ", welcome to Scripting world!")
End Sub
