Live Components

Architectural Geometry has been more and more imporant in contemporary architecure, especially resulting from new digital tools and fabrication technologies. Now the tools allow architects to imagin any transformations and deformations of geometry. It is true that now architects can imagin geometry more freely and have more various design options.

Architectural design does not mean just design of one building. It became more about design knowledge which is shared in network. One architectural design is not fixed or unique for one building. It is a set of different components which are adjustable and recomposable by any architects.

Grasshopper is one of the parametric tools allowing this architectural components design.  Through my recent researchs and practices, I ‘ve been developing various geometries in easier ways.  These definitions are based on a simple mathmatical knowledge and resonable logics without any scriptings. I hope it would be helpful for any young designers who want to learn tools and find a new geometry easily. All examples will have PDF Tutorials (using grasshopper 0.6.0043 version). I believe anyone can follow easily and recompose them for their own projects. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me ( hgkook@gmail.com ) .
