Week 5: High Rise Tower - Explorations

This is a parametric tower Grasshopper routine which twists an tapers and ellipse as it rises vertically. Core, structure and glazing systems are applied. A louvered shading system is layered on the facade exterior in response to an annual solar analysis on the controlling geometry mesh. The ellipse could easily be swapped out for another polygon within the slabs group of the Grasshopper routine.

Week 4: High Rise Tower - Diagrid Development

I was interested in applying a Diagrid Panel system to my tower geometry. I combined some techniques I found on the grasshopper forum for this Grasshopper routine which applies such a pattern to a control surface. The panel paramaters are flexible and the surface input from Rhino could be modified to use a Grasshopper parametric surface. I will continue to explore potential integration of this skin system into the Tower Challenge.

Week 3: High Rise Tower - Process

Here are some snapshots from my efforts to combine the Solar Responsive Panel System with component population to a high rise tower definition.

Week 3: Solar Responsive Panel System - Process

To complete this week's assignment for a Solar Responsive Custom Paneling System, I applied some component population strategies developed by nGai. My paneling system partitions the RGB solar data on the mesh into 8 sub-ranges. Each sub-range is then assigned a variant of a paneling geometry with different aperture sizes. Imagine a complex form, but we want to control the number of unique panels.

Week 2: High Rise Tower with Diagrid

The following routine development uses Mohamed Masour's Grasshopper definition for a high-rise tower and adds diagrid meshing and piping. I opted to use a pentagonal floor plate.

Week 2: High Rise Tower - Process

The following routine development uses Mohamed Masour's Grasshopper definition for a high-rise tower and adds diagrid meshing and piping. A great quality of Mohamed's definition is the ability to define the floor plate by the number of sides in the polygon.

Here are some views of the definition:
