Just a quick tutorial / introduction about the power of the combination
of Math / Scripting / Imagination / Pattern Design…
Normally any fancy façade in most of the Retail, Office… have a pattern,
just we need to find the right pattern or the idea to design.
As one of the stronger geometry is the “triangle”, it means most of the
shape can be develop by triangles, so it is the best friend of a pattern, the
combination of them make the pattern of another complex geometry.
In this case the example is a combination of this shape plus a bit of
math using “Sin” for the intersection with the surface to create something more
dynamic. I have to say the most difficult exercise is just the idea, it is
where you expend most of the time, once you have the idea it is matter to
develop it, but again it is not something you can say “Hmmm Pop up… an exercise
of thinking need to be done previously, things do not appear out of the blue”
The example is a rush example, but it could be implemented on any
scheme, as it is just panels, nothing else.
As I said using triangle you can achieve most of the shape, therefore I
am using triangles. In order to give the element a bit of relieve I can make
triangles in 3D -no flat I mean-.
Once I have may pattern, just
apply Dynamo to get an organic shape
From the previous picture you
can realise the pattern is a X, but applying math on it the shape change for
something more interesting.
Once you are done, put on
Lumion, spend a few minutes and one option done. You are ready for another or
just develop the idea further.
In any scenario the exercise to
create pattern is a really old tiring when you are making/thinking the design,
so probably you will need a rest before jump to another.
It is a simple output.
