site mapping:immaterial flows

Approaching a way of communicating non-static information. We explore the process in documenting and analyzing a site by recording time-based information and representing it through a physical model.

Deliverables:

• Diagrams that describes the process of documenting the site and making the model.• The resulting model

IMMATERIAL MAPPING

OVER A PERIOD OF 3 DAYS, DATA WAS CONSISTENTLY COLLECTED AT 23 SAMPLE POINTS, AND THEN AVERAGED TO GIVE A REPRESENTATION OF THE SOUND QUALITY AT THE SITE. THE FOLLOWING DIAGRAMS DEPICT THE AVERAGE NOISE LEVEL AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS WITHIN THE SITE.

SOUND PENETRATIONS

AN ABSTRACT MODEL WAS CREATED TO REPRESENT AN AVERAGE OF THE GENERAL NOISE LEVEL WHICH IS EXPERIENCED THROUGHOUT THE SITE. THE MODEL DISPLAYS THAT THE PENETRATING SOUNDS ARE MORE CONCENTRATED AT ONE AREA OF THE SITE THROUGH OVERLAP AND COLOUR OPACITY.

image manipulationsThe selection and manipulation of an image through a self-produced algorithm to produce out-puts in a variety of programs, and emphasize the variability through the methods used.

Deliverables:

• A graphic describing your pseudo-code;• From Photoshop: Sequence of images illustrating the distortion/manipulation produced through the implementation of your strategy.• From Illustrator: Sequence of vector drawings illustrating the distortion/manipulation pro-duced through the implementation of your strategy.• From Rhino: Sequence of line drawings illustrating the distortion/manipulation produced through the implementation of your strategy.• One composite image or drawing that situates your final output(s) within an “appropriate” urban context.

visual coding and algorithmic manipulation

A precedent project is replicated and augmented in order to understand the geometric manipulations undergone to achieve the final result. The process is diagrammed and the variability of the process is explored.

Deliverables:

• All diagrams that communicate how your original pseudo-code was augmented to achieve thedesired outcomes. These diagrams should rely on geometry and illustrate an understanding of how this geometry is operating within the Grasshopper environment.• Five (5) iterations of your model that demonstrate how your pseudo-code produces newvariability within the original precedent project.• For each iteration, include a set of annotated axonometrics that demonstrate variabilitywithin the model.• One (1) rendering that situates at least one of the iterations within an urban context.

surface articulations

Exploring surfaces and geometry by manipulation of field configurations through attractor points, and analyzing the variability within the code.

Deliverables:

• All diagrams that communicate your pseudo-code and how your original pseudo-code was augmented to achieve the desired outcomes. These diagrams should rely on surface geometry and illustrate an understanding of how this geometry is operating within the Grasshopper envi-ronment.• 5-10 iterations of your model that demonstrate how your pseudo-code produces new variabili-ty within the original project. • One (1) rendering that situates these iterations

surface manipulation

CAP EXTRUSIONS

the original pseudo code was altered in order to extrude scaled curves towards attractor points and create more

variation. the extrusion was then capped in order to create a closed surface.

the iterations of this surface manipulation explored various different grids through which the surface was split, different

lengths of the extrusion and manipulation of the initial boundary curves and the corresponding attractor point

locations.

data driven assemblies

This assignment explores how to derive data from images and deploy them within grasshopper to create variation across a two-dimensional surface, and translate it on to a three-dimensional volume.

Deliverables:

• Your pseudo-code and all diagrams that communicate how your original pseudo-code was augmented to achieve the desired outcomes• One render of the 2D surface study as a site/field condition• One render of the 3D volume as an object in a gallery.
