parametric object

Let’s have some fun with the parametric stuff! You may remember that we created many vases and glass alternatives that we could bake with a single Revolution (RevSrf) component in previous exercises. Since we were referencing the profile curve drawn in Rhino, it was also…

This is a basic Grasshopper exercise, covering many fundamental topics. The aim is to create the parametric model of a spiral staircase. This is more educational than functional, I guess. Below is the explanation of the Grasshopper definition in three parts. Helix Points for the…

Here is the Grasshopper implementation of the famous Evolution Door design by Klemens Torggler. The code I used here is from my course on Parametric Modeling. This Grasshopper algorithm is a good exercise for the basics of Kangaroo. I attached several goal objects to a…

Let’s make some nostalgia. I thought of a very simple and useful algorithm that I can generate with Grasshopper. At the concept stage in architectural projects, I tried to derive figures that could symbolize the trees on the land. To make random low poly trees…

It has been nearly 2 years since we designed and produced this garden. Similar to the first version, Common-action Gardens #2 is injected in formal park layouts. We build it for recreation as garden structures with an aim to support the “preserve, sustain, and share”…

IABA 2015 International Architecture BiennialAntalya // October 2015, Exhibition at Karaalioğlu Park Design and Prototyping: Fulya Akipek, Tuğrul Yazar, Aslı AydınTeam of students: Alara Lüküs, Burak Güney, Elif Soylu, Tufan İşcan, Tunç ŞenmanConsultants: Anonim İstanbul_Burcu Serdar Köknar, Hande Kalender, Dilek Yürük Video by Elif Soylu…

It is a nice exercise to study various components of point-to-curve transformations and vice versa. Tower Crane was our second-week exercise at İstanbul Bilgi University Faculty of Architecture Parametric Modeling class, asking students to design and draw a parametric object that has joints and parts…

WFC Shangai is a design exercise in our first-year Design Computing class introduced by Onur Yüce Gün. This exercise emphasizes both analytical thinking and associative geometry and aims to utilize boolean operations as solid and void references in creating forms. We asked students to develop…

Under the dust of 10 years; revisiting my master’s thesis; This paper introduces research about the Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) tool which is based on the master thesis of Tuğrul Yazar from Yıldız Technical University (YTU) Faculty of Architecture Computational Design Graduate Program (BOM). The…

[RFA: Revit 2012] It seems simple at first sight, but creating a window definition in Revit requires a lot more time than I expected. A freelance job led me to create this parametric object, when I saw the architect’s sketch of all window types of…

This is another old-school approach to parametric modeling, today known better as part of Building Information Modeling. I tried to create parametric objects in order to understand and learn the capabilities of Revit.  That was very useful for me in learning this interface. I specially…

This was an interesting topic in design computing class. Geometric constructions based on strict relationships are becoming exciting in parametric modeling environments. I think muqarnas includes such a relationship. There is a primary method of modeling this shape, introduced by Mete Tüneri. His solution to…

[GHX:0.8.0066] This is a rather traditional geometry exercise we used to make in MaxScript. Grasshopper is also quite capable of associative geometry and real-time parametric designs of objects. The exercise of designing a furniture family should be based on design research, followed by shape alternatives and…
