RH points counter labels01

A very useful rhinoscript for renaming array points with gradient color. Points are created by Grasshopper and it's very interesting see that the order of points is maintened, so you can select points in every manner and the order remains the original.

RH convert annotation dots to points02

A new improvement of last code on annotation dots convertion to different kind of labels. Now you can take text as prefix from one "pilot" label, coordinates are rounded to integer approximation and labels take their name from starting annotation dots with a progressive identification number.

Here the code:

RH convert annotation dots to points

In these days at ZHA office we needed a quick and fast task to rename and manage annotation dots created previously. I wrote and custom for our purpose a series of RhinoScript from one of the codes archived on McNeel website .

Elegant Ecotones_Co-de-iT GH workshop

Elegant Ecotones

Grasshopper workshop Level I - parametric & generative design _ Co-de-iT _ Bologna _ 15-19 marzo 2010

L'ecotono è la zona di transizione tra due o più ecosistemi, ed è la zona in cui si manifestano in modo più evidente i temi di soglia, gradiente, variazione, catastrofe, dove le condizioni di limite e transizione possono essere esplorate trasformandole in configurazioni formali e architettoniche interessanti. Il workshop mira ad indagare strategie attraverso cui si manifestano le condizioni di transizione tra ecosistemi, sia in termini spaziali (dalla scala territoriale alla scala dei componenti) che in termini di evoluzione o ciclicità temporale (condizioni critiche come i cicli notte/giorno nelle zone desertiche). Il tema dell'eleganza riguarda il modo in cui il sistema produce un campo armonicamente articolato e differenziato di fenotipi a partire dal genotipo attraverso un processo di "estetica delle forze" guidata attraverso lo strumento digitale.

Il tema sarà dipanato attraverso le giornate del workshop sviluppando aspetti teorici e tecnici dell'approccio parametrico generativo, con particolare attenzione a strategie di design basate su caratteristiche endogene (vincoli interni del sistema) ed esogene (fattori ambientali) allo scopo di stimolare l'esplorazione di soluzioni sistemiche innovative.

Il numero dei partecipanti è fissato a 16 per offrire un tutoraggio proficuo ed una effettiva esperienza di learning ad ogni iscritto.

Temi:

Teoria

. transizione
. eleganza
. efficienza
. ridondanza

. sensibilità
. ornamento
. spazio

tecnica

. dati:gestione, manipolazione, visualizzazione
. generazione di geometria da dati
. logiche parametriche applicate al design
. genotipo/fenotipi
. attrattori, drivers e tecniche di modulazione

Dettagli:

Istruttori: Giulio Piacentino - McNeel (GH intro), Alessio Erioli + Andrea Graziano - Co-de-iT (GH & design tutors).

Si richiede esperienza di base nella modellazione in Rhino.

Saranno disponibili computers con preinstallate versioni di prova del software; i partecipanti potranno, a loro discrezione, utilizzare il proprio notebook.

Quota d'iscrizione (max 16 posti) : € 400 + IVA - la quota non comprende vitto e alloggio

Luogo : Pentacom - Via Petroni 18/4, Bologna

Orario : 10.00-18.00.

Phyllotaxis System 05b///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Images on phyllotaxis system05 speculation.

(via Wikipedia) A nest is a place of refuge to hold an animal's eggs and/or provide a place to live or raise offspring. They are usually made of some organic material such as twigs, grass, and leaves; or may simply be a depression in the ground, or a hole in a tree, rock or building. Human-made materials, such as string, plastic, cloth, hair or paper, may be used.

Generally each species has a distinctive style of nest. Nests can be found in many different habitats. They are built primarily by birds, but also by mammals (e.g. squirrels), fish, insects (e.g. wasps and termites) andreptiles (e.g. snakes and turtles).

The urge to prepare an area for the building of a nest is referred to as the nesting instinct and may occur in both mammals and birds.
