Adapting front glazing by Image Data

This is a way of pattern making by push and pull the front glazing on each unit by image data.

Here is the process. I generated each unit family which has parameters front glazing depth and material change by glazing depth.

And, parameters...

these are pretty straightforward and simple which awning depth is controlled by grayscale image map. On this case, I used this image for patterning.

But, since you could get bldg sun radiation map, you would get design as well as real solution for energy bldg model. That means you can get deeper awning depth on hot spots in radiation map to get energy efficient bldgs. Possibilities.

Strategy to make random colorful panel variation into one panel family

Here is the image of South Africa World Cup stadium which is random colorful panel face-lifting project. This builidng has so many size and color-wise random panels. I want to look at how to easily these panel information on one panel family to get organized panel schedule. Here is what I got.

Firstly, open the adaptive mass and add 4 placement points to make rec. shape. And, assign a color and material map on this rec. shape. Repeat this process as many color options as you need. And, applied visible parameter on each panel to show only one color panel on project file.

And, bring this family into rec. curtain panel by pattern and linked color options. Also, assigned all dimensions and angles for panel schedule. I got schedule and exported to Excel to sort out and here is image.

However, on this case, I need to assign every color variations when I bring this panel family into mass surface. Because, this stadium surface design does not have a regulation how to assign the color. Yes, totally random.

Then, I made a one panel family which has color variation by grayscale parameter. This one would be much easier to design and variable design options.

This process is pretty much similar with previous try. This case, I tried hexagon shape so applied 6 placement points and assigned colors by grayscale parameter.

Then, bring into hexa curtainwall panel mass and linked color parameters. It will show different colors by different number of grayscale.

Then, bring into a bldg skin mass and applied below bitmap image.

And, tada...

Pretty simple and can easily change color variation on bldg skin.

Revit 2011 Rendering test from Parametric Helix mass

Here are some renderings which are rendered in Revit 2011. It is pretty much jumped and developed in quality and time base from previous versions. I applied my curtain panel by pattern on this mass which is tuned on optimal sun radiation option mass on last time.

Optimal sun radiation model with Parametric Helix mass

First step of my personal green super tall bldg, I am posting how to find optimal sun radiation model thru my parametric helix mass.

This is the helix mass for solar testing.

It has a relationship by angle value between eclipse profiles on each level so by putting different value it is changed to below image.



And, even each eclipse profile could be changed.

And, applied each cases by angle value on solar radiation map and could see which model would have the optimally comfortable interior air quality.

Model which has more blue tone area would be a better model for heat gain / loss.

we might use this for architectural renovation projects w/o big efforts of building up whole existing condition only if it can scan and tranlate to actural building information model.

curtain panel variation by colorization for glazing consultant

One day, in my work place, I got someone asked me to figure out how many different kinds of curtain panel size on our curvy office bldg skin. At that time, I was trying to figure out with decent way but could only do colorize each glass panel primitively under 2009 Revit environment. Here is the bldg image which I was trying to get curtain wall panel variation map.



I realized now, this is not that much undulated and assuming that one size of panel would cover on that smooth curvy skin. So, I got more undulated wall mass on left side.

Now, here is a solution I generated all different color-wise index panel by some parameters such as deviation and actual window height by deviation with adaptive mass and curtain wall by pattern tools.

Fistly, I generated adaptive mass to apply on patterned curtain panel.


On here, I designated actual window height and deviation factor which will be affecting the actual window height by deviating angle on bldg skin.
Also, here is the family type parameter table which are including all color variation and window height range of each color. (On here, I assuming 2" difference is maximum discrepancy among different sizes of glazing.



Then, load into the rec. shape curtain panel by pattern and linked with actual glazing height. It is showing to change colors by different deviationa and panel size.




Finally, applied on actual bldg skin. Also, each varied glazing height can be easily scheduled by reporting parameter. Many possibilities...

Rhino's flow along surface tool in Revit????

Here is the video clip of flow along surface tool in Rhino..
Click the link..

In this case, Revit can easily figure out with a great patterend curtainwall mass tool. But, what if that patten irregular like a Chinese Olympic main stadium bird's nest skin structure....Rhino can easily do though,

I tried but got ugly bird's nest..anyone has an idea? let us know..

Firstly, I made a huge grid set with many adaptive points on each cross which would be a similar template of Rhino's nurbing massing.



Then, I drew arbitrary lines on that surface then sculpted a certain shape to micmick a bird's nest.


And, sweeping all lines with structure profile..then got ugly bird's nest.


any better idea? tired...

Parametric sun-shade installation based on solar radiation map

This is another example of bitmap image based model which is applied on actual architecture world.
I tried to get optimal sun-shade pofile based on the solar radiation map by converting into grayscale bitmap image.

Here is what i did.

First, I got a mass and solar radiation map from model.



Then, converted this image into the grayscale.



Then, I made a parametric sun-shade model with grayscaled lengh sun-shade.



Now, applied this patterned curtain system on the mass.


Final step, applied grayscaled solar radiation map into this model.


this is not that much dramatic but it is meaningful we could get optimal sun-shades for green bldg rather than just putting shades aesthetically whereever designer wants.
Many possibilities....

Adaptive Structure

오늘은 어탭티브 닷툴을 이용한 순응가능한 구조모델입니다. 건축쉘은 언제든 건축진행단계에 프로그램의 요구라든지 환경적 요구등에 의해 변화되며 이러한 변화에 쉽게 적용하기위한 구조체가 쉘에 연동되어 움직이는 모델을 제공하는것입니다.

보시는 사진은 쉘을 변화시키는 것에 따라 변화되는 구조체의 모습을 보실수 있습니다.

(This is an adaptive structural model generated by adaptive dots. Skin shell could be easily changed in the process of design. With this model, struc model is easily and quickly corresponding with shell changes.)

먼저 이러한 스트럭쳐를 만들기위해 어댑티브 매스를 열고 아래와 같이 필요한 수만큼의 shape handle dot을 찍고 make adaptive합니다.

(First of all, open a new adaptive mass and arranged dots as needed then change the properties of all dots to shape handle dots except one which is placement dot as shown with number 1.)

보시는바와 같이 상부 6개의 점은 쉐입을 형성하고 하부 가운데에 보이는 1이라는 숫자의 점은 위치 설정 점이 됩니다. (As shown on pic, upper 6 dots would make a shape depending on the host element and one dot with number 1 will be a placement dot.)

이점들은 레퍼런스 라인으로 연결한후 스위핑을 통해 실제 스트럭쳐를 만듭니다.

(Now, conneting all shape handle dots with reference line then sweep a profile to get a actual structure member.)

이 스트럭쳐를 새로운 어댑티브 매스로 가져옵니다. (bringing this structure into another new adaptive mass which has 6 guide lines, it would be hosts for each shape handle dots.)

이 새로운 매스속에는 이 스트럭쳐가 호스트할 6개의 가이드 라인 그리고 이들 가이드라인에 각 스트럭쳐의 어댑티브 점들을 호스트 시킵니다. (Attaching each dot on guide line.)

이후 이 가이드라인들을 선택하여 쉘을 형성하면 위에서 보여드린 사진들의 쉘들을 형성하게 됩니다. 이후 이 쉘들은 선택툴에 의해 선택후 움직이면 구조체는 호스트인 쉘의 움직임에 따라 자동으로 움직이게 됩니다. 구조하시는분들에게 많은 업무를 줄일수 있을듯하네요 특히 이런 복잡한 쉐입의 빌딩에서는요..

(After making shell with guide lines, these structures would be adapting to the change of shell shape as a pic on the top.)

Revit 2011의 새로운 기능 - adaptive dots

Revit 2011의 새로운 기능인 어댑티브 닷을 이용한 패러매트릭 모델과 건물쉘에 순응하는 가상적 스트럭쳐 모델을 보여주겠습니다.


먼저 해드핀을 이용한 패러매트릭 너브 쉐이프 입니다.



먼저 New mass 를 오픈하고 adaptive component 를 선택합니다.
세개의 점을 공간에 위치시키고 아래의 두 점은 Make adaptive 로 설정합니다. 설정을 하게되면 화면에서와 같이 xyz 방향면이 설정됩니다. adaptive dot의 번호는 실제 매스상에서 적용되는 placement number 입니다. 나중에 설명하겠지만 adaptive dot은 플레이스먼을 하는 옵션외에 형태를 한정하는 shape handle 포인트로 설정을 바꿀수도 있습니다. 이경우는 이 패밀리 위치시키는 기능이므로 placement 옵션을 설정하였습니다. 보시는 좌우 그림처럼 no1의 adpative dot의 움직임에 따라 pinhead의 높낮이가 조정됩니다. 즉 pinhead의 높낮이와 L로 표시된 길이 패러미터는 서로 연결되어집니다. 둘 사이의 관계는 여러 수식으로 변형가능합니다. sine, cosine, tan 를 포함한 수식을 통해 관련 커브를 만들기도 합니다. 왜 이런 수식이 의미를 갖는지는 마직막 결과물을 보시면 알것입니다.

다음은 이 패밀리를 매스툴로 가져와서 그리드 맵에 적용한 모습입니다.



보시는바와 같이 1이라고 적힌 점의 움직임에 따라 pinhead들이 움직이는 것을 볼수 있습니다.

이 상태에서 pinhead들을 레퍼런스 라인 (그림속 그린 컬러 라인)으로 연결한후 너브 쉐입을 형성합니다.

마지막으로 점의 움직임에 따른 쉘의 변화를 보실수 있습니다. 다양한 형태의 건물 스킨을 패러매트릭 기반으로 수학공식에 따라 조정해볼수 있습니다.

다양한 형태의 스킨을 점의 움직임으로 표시할수 있으며 수학적 패러미터에 의한 형태구현이라고 할수 있습니다. 다음엔 같은 방식을 적용해 adaptive structure를 만들어보겠습니다.

Bitmap image를 입히는 Massing by Pattern

첫번째 블로그는 비트맵 이미지를 레빗 매싱툴에 간단히 맵핑하는 방법입니다.
(This is showing how to projecting greyscale bitmap image into a massing.)

이 이미지를 레빗 매스에 그레이 스케일에 맞춰 입히는 것입니다. 다음 예시에서는 24 by 24픽셀의 이미지를 사용했습니다. 너무 큰 이미지는 오랜시간을 요하니 처음에는 작은 이미지로 테스트 하시기 바랍니다.
(This is the image I will put on a mass which is 24 by 24 pixel bitmap image.)


먼저 Mass by pattern을 이용해 그레이 스케일에 따라 연동되는 패러미터를 적용합니다.
(open a patterned curtain wall system and add a grayscale parameter on the radius of hole.)


이 패턴을 매스에 적용합니다. (Apply this patten on mass surface.)
다음 플러그 인 툴을 이용해 비트맵 이미지를 적용합니다.
타다~~~~ (With a given add-in which is SetParamFromImage.dll, I applied bitmap image on that mass then it is showing the responded hole size based on the greyscale image.)





다음은 블릭의 회전앵글에 그레이 스케일 패러미터를 입력한 경우입니다.

(this case, put a grayscale parameter on the angle of brick.)

이 경우는 블릭의 회전앵글을 스케쥴로 뽑아낼수 있기때문에 시공시 블릭의 위치를 정확히 파악할수 있는 BIM-able한 경우이네요. (in this case, you could get a actual rotating angle schedule for construction with checking reporting paramter box.)

다음 링크는 이 플러그 인을 개발한 오토데스크 소프트웨어 개발자의 AU 강의 내용입니다.(Click this link for AU session from the software programmer of this plug-in you can get download all plug-in sources)
Also, you can get more information from blog Buildz since I learned and practiced thru this blog.

플러그인을 다운로드하세요 (이곳에 어떻게 화일을 첨부하는지 모르겠네요, 이멜 남기시면 다양한 플러그인 파일들을 보내드리겠습니다.)

플러그인을 활용하실때는 오토데스트의 플러그인 매니저를 다운로드 하셔서 관리하시면 간단하게 .dll 화일만 로드하셔서 사용하실수 있습니다.
