The Squid!
Customizable and practical, “The Squid” addresses two earlier concepts to regulate circulation and create a central element for the IMA exhibition.
The base of the structure provides niches for plasma displays, a projector, and seating areas while phalanges entice visitors into the shadows.

Rhino Scripting (Intro)
Wednesday’s tutorial on Rhino-scripting provided some of the basics of Rhino-scripting, but most of us are still unsure how to construct a complex script. An exercise in scripting however, we set to the task of editing and combining pre-existing scripts.
Starting with the fractal script, running a series of consecutive scripts tagged onto the original script modified the end resultant drastically.
The first experiment included the original script plus a self lofting command to loft the resultant curves. The parameters need to remain quite small to construct the geometry efficiently, but the end product results something similar to crushed paper or plastic wrap for some flowers.
The second experiment modified some of the parameters for the fractal script to increase the number of recursions before splicing a pipe script into the fractal script.
The final experiment utilized the varying radius script changing the original (12) variable to 50. The varying radius reflects similar growing patterns of vegetation – longer spans reflecting a wider diameter.

Revit Training - Jan 18th, 2008
“Revit® Architecture* software works the way you think, so you can create naturally, design freely, and deliver efficiently. And because it is purpose-built for building information modeling (BIM), any change you make—anytime, anywhere—is automatically coordinated throughout your project. Designs and documentation stay coordinated, consistent, and complete.”
