Force Fields in ARCH362

by Tuğrul Yazar | March 17, 2015 00:20

This year’s Parametric Modeling class starts with some of the very basic use of Grasshopper concepts. This definition is a practical start-up of using force fields in the architectural design process. However it does not compute any physical phenomena (such as circulation of people, wind, or anything else), but shows a simple way to tell Grasshopper about walls that push the field, and points that pull the field. I’ll post more of this kind of basics, hopefully along with some student works.

Here is the Grasshopper definition [GHX: 0.9.0076][1] and the dummy Rhino file [3DM: Rhino 5][2]
