I was inspired to make a canopy that could be used in public spaces. It would be very reminiscent of the DRL10 Pavilion I found online. I drew a quick sketch of my version of this pavilion.
I started with the basic lines for the canopy. I first created a base line with an adjustable length along the y-axis.
Then, I wanted to translate the line, but with a shorter length. Instead, I translated the starting point and added an end point that can be adjusted.
Finally, I added a mid-line that was translated in the z direction to have an adjustable height. Again, to create the effect of an overhang, I made the start and end points adjustable as well.
Then, I created the set of points along the 3 lines and then connected them through the Nurb.Curve function. These connected lines would be the beams underneath the canopy.
Then, I added points along these curves. This divides it into points in both directions and then the Quad from Rectangular Grid function creates the 4 pt panels needed for curtain panels.
Finally, I added the Adaptive Elements into Revit and applied the beams and panels.
Parameters and materials were changed to produce tapered beams as well as wood cladding finish.
Working with more curvy parabolas would be more closer to actual design. However, we can change the number of beams to 2 and panel lengths to look more like wood slats to replicate the actual design.
Close enough! :)
