Hoopsnake Experiments:Mesh Splitting

Hoopsnake Experiments:Mesh Splitting

December 22, 2011 · by morrow.liam · in Architecture, Grasshopper, Tutorials

For those who don’t know, hoopsnake is a component for grasshopper that allows the user to perform recursive operations. This has been consistently on the wishlist for features within grasshopper. This is the first time I’ve been able to experiment…

Interconnected Loops: Part 2

Interconnected Loops: Part 2

May 31, 2010 · by morrow.liam · in Architecture

This is the final product of our interconnected wall experiment, minus the interconnecting bit.  Due to time and access to the router this was the most that could be completed.  The process after it was cut on the router involved…

Optimize Connections

Optimize Connections

May 30, 2010 · by morrow.liam · in Architecture, Tutorials

This definition is very simple, but incredibly useful.  It sorts a series of points based on distance and then creates connections based on that list.  The only slider in the definition is used to control the number of connections that are allowed.  The purpose of…

Interconnected Loops: Part 1

Interconnected Loops: Part 1

May 28, 2010 · by morrow.liam · in Architecture, Tutorials

The interconnected wall stems from work originally proposed by Erwin Hauer, this example has been reworked in grasshopper and tested physically on a cnc milling machine. The definition is used to design panels which do not collide with each other.  It uses curves…

Flocking:Birds and the Like Part 3

Flocking:Birds and the Like Part 3

February 12, 2010 · by morrow.liam · in Architecture

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. …

Flocking:Birds and the Like Part 2

Flocking:Birds and the Like Part 2

November 2, 2009 · by morrow.liam · in Architecture

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….

Flocking:Birds and the Like Part 1

Flocking:Birds and the Like Part 1

November 1, 2009 · by morrow.liam · in Architecture

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…
