PROJECT : THE SPIRAL

This is one of my projects using spiral components of this website. Basically, the building is composed of double spiral surfaces which are generated from the inside spirals. The height and area of each floor keep changing parametrically according to the controlling geometry (See ‘density spiral’ and ‘geometry controlling geometry’ examples). And one spiral is enveloped with mesh structure using diagonal connection (See the diagonal connection examples).

5_3 DEFORMING SPIRAL

This is another example to show how indirect geometry controller works. Just with simple change from “density” to “radius”, the density definition changes to deforming definition. I used the same input evaluate value with Density Spiral.

5_2 DENSITY SPIRAL

This show how to control geometry indirectly. Just with points of a controlling curve, density could be controlled easily.

There are various ways to generate spiral in grasshopper. I think this is the most simple way to understand and follow.
