Arch 689 Project 1 Design Description


Design Description

Introduction

For the model I created in project 1, I need to make a greenroof of a unique building, which has two holes and a column. The holes can be seen as skylight and the column seems to be a funnel. The images are from http://www.servo-la.com/index.php?/projects/sholm-house/. I simplify the model, which means no steps or walls.

Method 1

1.      Create several curves. When make the interpolate curves, I need to start with the same direction to ensure the loft surface not in distortion.


2.      Move the curves to different elevation. Because the top curve is angled, I use “rotate” to tilt the rooftop. Then I started to connect the elevated curves and the rotated curve to loft the surface (loft 1). Some tips on loft:



a) Check the “aligned section” of loft option.
b) Select curve with order, either top to bottom or bottom to top.
c) Curves should be drawn from same direction, either clockwise or counterclockwise.
3.      Create two surfaces, extrude them and trim with the loft surface (loft 1).

4.      Create the column:



1)      Create several curves and lift them to different elevation.
2)      Project the highest curve on the loft surface.
3)      Loft all the lifted curves together with the projected curve to make another funnel like surface (loft 2).
4)      Cap the holes and trim the new solid with a box to make a column.
5.       Start to create skin:
Use the divide surface icon to make points on the trimmed surface from loft 1.

6.       Use isocurve Icon to make web, then pipe the web.



Kangaroo Physics Modeling

I use kangaroo as another method to generate the main surface
1)      Loft 3 curves and make a mesh

2)      Use uniforce and spring to generate forces on the mesh.
