Final Vignette

This vignette explains the process of creating a canopy for shading that has parametric solar responsive panels. The shading condition is reflected in the shadow on the surface.

Exercise 5: High-rise tower with solar-responsive panel facade

This exercise utilizes the Solar responsive panel routine on Mohammed's definition of high rise tower. I have used a square as the polygon and a different rotate effect. The panel shading routine has also been utilized here again.

Exercise 4: Canopy shading

The solar responsive panel routine has been applied to create this canopy in addition to the shading aspect being reflected in the shadow of the canopy on the ground.

This following image is a snapshot of shading during different time periods

Exercise 3: Solar Responsive Panel

For this exercise, I applied the responsive panel method we went over in the class on the given Rhino surface. I also referred to Alex's exercise on reactive surface.

Exercise 2: Curve Distance Logic

Exercise 1: Space Truss

I basically started from the process we used in the class last week.
I created the surface in Rhino & subdivided and exploded it GH. To create another surface, I made a copy of the original subsurface.
