		<title>Tutorial Update:Perforated Panels</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

This definition was designed to facet any surface, into a grid that can the be divided up into perforated panels.  I&#8217;ve included the grasshopper file for people to play with, all thats required from rhino&#8217;s end is a series of curves to loft and an attractor point.
Perforation Panel Grasshopper File
Note:Version of Grasshopper Needed-(Grasshopper 0.6.0019)

		<title>Rhino Trick: Axonometric</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This little macro is really sweet for skewing rhino models into axonometrics.  Its important to note however that this will actually skew your model, save your model before you do this. 
Just paste the following text into your menu bar:
! _Select _Pause _SetActiveViewport Top _Rotate 0 30 _SetActiveViewport Right _Shear w0 w0,0,1 -45 _SetActiveViewport Top [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flocking:Birds and the Like Part 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
In my previous articles, my exploration of flocking has remained in the realm of a diagram.  This iteration is the first step in taking those conceptual thoughts and brining them to a more architectural level.   My previous diagrams generated a logic.  The logic consisted of a series of points that responded to one another and a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tutorial:Circle Panels</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This Grasshopper definition uses a grid of points to generate a series of curves that respond to an attractor point.  This definition is a great example of using really simple and basic concepts of parametrics to accomplish a more complicated goal.  Essentially, all this definition is composed of is an attractor point that adjusts the curvature of a plane [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tutorial Update:Grasshopper Louvers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;ve just uploaded a new tutorial based around the grasshopper plug-in for rhino, Louver Tutorial.  For those who don&#8217;t know about grasshopper, visit this link (Grasshopper).  In short, grasshopper is a plug-in for rhino that is used to generate parametric objects.  Its more or less a playground for creating relationships between geometries.  In the tutorial, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flocking:Birds and the Like Part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[These are the iterations of the previously discussed grasshopper definition.  The system on the left has its ratios(see first article) set to change at each iteration starting at .3 moving towards .8 and then returning to .3 at even intervals.  The system on the right is used as a control it is permanently set to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flocking:Birds and the Like Part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Flocking is the subtle organization of part to part relationships. One of the most common examples of this is obviously flocks of birds, such as the starlings at Otmoor(see video after the break). Flocking in that case consists of a couple elements. The first being clustering of parts, so these parts are forming a spatial [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[-From Judithtatephotography.com
Work has grinded to a halt as everyone prepares for school, many of us have gone traveling.  Our group had one more meeting in the time between this post and last.  I regrettably was not able to make it.  A slight problem arose when a team member added another without consulting the group.  So [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tutorial Update:First Tutorial Added</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This is the first tutorial with hopefully more to come.  You can find it in my tutorial section or follow this link Lineweight Tutorial. The tutorial is focused on the workflow between CAD and Illustrator, with the goal being a successful line drawing. This is how I do all of my line drawings. I prefer for the simple fact that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Axial Architecture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
 
    Organization, the ultimate goal of architecture, is essential to coherent design.  Architecture strives for some factor that defines its conception.  Design decisions based upon an organizing principle are always stronger and easier to comprehend.

     So all this organizing is meant to achieve what?  Space, but what is that?  This word is thrown around by architects all [...]]]></description>
