2_3 TERRAIN SURFACE MAKER

Hyoung-gul Kook — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 04:30:39 +0000

In many times, we need to build terrain surface in architecture. There are other applications or plug-in to build a terrain. But this component could be another option to build a terrain surface pretty quickly by using grasshopper. It’s a simple and easy tip to convert ‘contour’ curves to ‘uv’ curves.

STUDY : LANDSCAPING MESH

This is a kind of study with mesh landscape field. For this geometry, I used 3_3 BEZIER CONNECTION, 1_1. POINT CONCENTRATION, 1_3. POINT EXPANSION, 2_1 CONVEXED & CONCAVED. The Bubble surface on mesh are made by using ‘Sweep 2 Rail’ on Grasshopper.

STUDY : DENSITY GRID

This is an example study project using previous grid components. I used 1 DENSITY COMPONENTS as well as 2 LANDSCAPE COMPONENTS. They are constraint to each other, so the whole system works together. Also the thickness of beam also change following the span of beam.

2_2 TENSILE LANDSCAPE

This tensile geometry was developed by using “Sin” function.

2_1 CONVEXED AND CONCAVED LANDSCAPE

Hyoung-gul Kook — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 01:29:30 +0000

This is useful for any parametric landscape modeling. It works perfectly based on “Cos” fuction ( A Cos Bx + C ). So 3-d landscape geometry is controled by 2-d Cos curve.

PROJECT : TUNING DENSITY

Hyoung-gul Kook — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 01:37:00 +0000

This is one of my projects at GSAPP, Columbia University. It was designed by a bunch of geometry componental systems. Everything was built by rhino grasshopper. All elements are constraints and connected to each others.
