Basic Grasshopper to Ecotect connection with GECO. It explains the process and steps needed to create the form. ARCH 689 - Project 2 - Tower Skin and Responsive Morphology. Generally, the idea was to create a tool that will allow me to go through thousands of iterations before I can make the final decision. 2007 saw the introduction of Grasshopper, a new visual scripting plug-in for. I have used a Grasshopper and Galapagos to search for the most optimized shading form. As simulation is now accessible within 3 Ecotect analysis results used as. I also set it up to use Ecotect to perform solar analysis on each form. The result from the analysis became the fitness factor for the evolutionary solver – Galapagos.
The fitness value – the goal – was to create a shading device that will absorb the most sun and thus screen the most street below.Īnother plug-in that I was using was the physic engine – Kangaroo. It allows you to set up some real life based forces to create all tension or compression structures. It’s almost like Gaudi’s hanging models but on the computer screen and much faster. Combine that with the Galapagos and you create an ultimate form finding tool. Geco allows one to export and actively collaborate effectively with another software called Ecotect, in order to evaluate one’s design with various performance data, which Geco again makes it possible to import the results as feedback, back into Grasshopper. The rotation angles of each brick were stimulated using software (Ecotect, Grasshopper) to minimize solar radiations and direct heat gain on the façade. Initially I have started working on this as a submission for the Design by Many Street Shading Competition, however due to other commitments I wasn’t able to submit it on time. An exercise using Rhino Grasshopper to create an optimized tensile shading canopy for urban shading challenge. Now, Ecotect is visual software for architects, which enables them to test.
It uses a Kangaroo plug in to create the form. Ecotect training Ecotect training from Autodesk Sustainability Workshop From Sketchup to Ecotect - Youtube video by nihilistarchitect Rhino to Ecotect. The brick skin also accommodates balconies which further enrich student interaction. Feel free to shoot me an email if you want have a look at the definition.
