Workshop Advanced Modelling Experience

Last Month we had the Advanced Modelling Workshop at Queretaro city , together with Luis de la Parra and Daniel Camiro we started an initiative called Chido Studio with the purpose of organizing a series of Workshops in that city regarding parametric design strategies & digital fabrication for implementing them in different design processes . The workshop lasted 2 weekends and was divided in three main areas.
1)Traditional Modelling with Rhino
2)Rendering techniques for VRay on 3dMax
3) Parametric design using Grasshopper as our tool for editing algorithms.

I would like to congratulate all the participants for the results obtained during the Workshop , most of them had no prior experience with the softwares and yet the learning speed of the course was really impressive.At the end , participants ended with the basic tools and knowledge to start developing their own algorithms in order to approach their design problems in parametric and generative way.

Responsive Honeycomb Morphologies [Gh3D]

Continuing with the experimentation and research of honeycomb morphologies and a as example for a Workshop I gave recently I developed a Grasshopper tool for creating a responsive skin system ,using my previous VB script component for creating honeycomb patterns.

Advanced Modelling Workshop [queretaro,Mexico]

Invito a todos los arquitectos, diseñadores y estudiantes de Mexico a que asistan al Workshop sobre estrategias avanzadas de modelación que estare impartiendo en colaboración con Plataforma de Arquietctura y ChidoStudio en la ciudad de Queretaro durante las primeras semanas de Marzo.

Para mas información sobre este evento vista este ENLACE , donde encontraras un formulario paa poder ponerte en contacto con nosotros, esperamos contar con tu participación.

Pneumatic Panel Revised [rhinoscript]

Some new updates on the Pneumatic Panels Project , Toni Österlund an architecture student at University of Oulu (Finland) ,revised my code and made some improvements,the script now supports non planar polygons for creating the cushion cladding system. More info and downlads HERE

Parametric Tower Excersie [grasshopper]

An excerise of a parametric tower definition made in Rhino Grasshopper , using the Canton Tower from IBA architects as a rference , more information on these project and download the definition at my web site.

Honeycomb Morphologies Update

The lastest update from my honeycomb morphologies research is already at the official site , you can go there to to check it out and download the definition.

Recursive Aggregations [rhinoscript]

Here is my last weekend experiment with rhinoscript , working with recursive agreggations , you can check out the project HERE

2010 is here !!!!

Thanks everyone for being with me this 2009 , I wish you an exciting 2010 !!!
Do you have any new years resolutions ? Here are mine.

Honeycomb Morphologies

A little preview of a Grasshopper definition I´m working on to generate a honeycomb structure system Im working to add several features , for example to be able to control the apertures of the systems according an external variable for example al the final work as well as the definition will be posted on my new site.

Grasshopper VBscript (excersise)

Getting started with VBscripting in Grasshopper , some images of an excercise made using Woo Jaes Sung tutorial you can see more about this and downlad the definition on my new site. HERE

Waffle Ribs:Rhino Grasshopper

Yes ! the classic waffle structures , I think this kind of definitions are very useful specially to those starting in their way of parametric design and of course Grasshopper, they have a wide range of applications that can go from architectural projects to conceptual furniture like this quick example I made. Check it out here.

Recursive tessellation

A quick study of Marco Vanuci´s work on recursive surface tessellations . CHECK IT OUT

Rhinoscript Pneumatic Caldding

Finally I have uploaded my research for generationg cushion like pneumatic panels you can see the info and download the script at my new site don´t forget to share it and leave your comments =).

Collaboration with Arkylab Mexico

Currently I am collaborating with Arkylab a Mexican architecture studio working on a proposal for an industrial eco park Im helping generating computational geometies for the project using recusive and subdivision algorithms we still at a conceptual development stage.
Here is a quick low quality render.

Pneumatic Panels Cladding Systems

Preview image of my rhinoscript of pneumatic cladding systems still some things an options to tweak but so far it´s looking good i hope to have it ready soon to start sharing, i will be posting a complete explanation of it on my new site so stay tuned !!!
