Grasshopper Creating a small boat
This workflow begins by defining the boat’s hull geometry through NURBS curves using Grasshopper’s Interpolate Curve or Control Points components, allowing parametric adjustment of shape via sliders. Next, a series of these curves are lofted with the Loft component to generate a smooth, continuous surface. Symmetry is enforced using the Mirror component along the longitudinal axis, ensuring bilateral consistency, while Merge unifies the halves into a cohesive Brep. Parametric sliders dynamically adjust key variables.

Beegraphy Bruno Taut’s Glass Pavilion
Présentation
The Glass Pavilion designed by Bruno Taut! It was a stunning prismatic glass dome structure built for the 1914 Cologne Deutscher Werkbund Exhibition. This pavilion showcased innovative construction materials and techniques, while also highlighting how glass could be utilized to evoke emotions and construct a spiritual utopia.
The Glass Pavilion had a complex geometric structure composed of a faceted dome formed by numerous flat quadrangular glass panes. The glass panes were fixed into an iron framework that featured a steel compression ring at the base to create a stable and secure foundation.
Understanding the geometric construction of such shapes necessitates a comprehensive grasp of the underlying structure, beyond the optical illusion it presents. It is crucial to recognize that the entire design originates from a preliminary shape. Subsequently, through translation and rotation, the upper panes are derived. Factors such as the shape, size, and heights are determined by various parameters, including the number of sides and the height of the initial triangles. This complexity and the multitude of possible outcomes make a parametric model highly suitable for exploring the various design options. Continuer la lecture de Beegraphy Bruno Taut’s Glass Pavilion
