Brainstorm of Ideas:
“Escape to the Trees”
Intended users
People, of all ages, who have always dreamed of a fort or treehouse as a kid, you finally can automate one with the click of a button (as well as see how much time/money it will cost).
Need you’re trying to provide a solution or support for
My app is intended to fulfill the childhood dream of having a tree house in your backyard. By automating the process and allowing users for custom inputs, parents can finally design the treehouse that their children have been begging for. However, I do not want my app to be limited to families!
I want to create a natural space for people (of all ages!) to be able to escape to. My design intends to be fairy-tale like and imaginative - a spot for people to relax, meditate, read and escape from the hustle and bustle of the world. I think even having a few treehouses on campus could provide a great escape for stressed-out Stanford students!
Inputs
Variable:
- Width
- Length
- Interstory Height
- Number of Beams
- Number of Columns
- Slide Details
- Ladder Details
- Wall Type
- Floor Type
- Structural Column Type
- Structural Beam Type
Constant:
- Offset Distance for Story
- First Story Height
Underlying logic of the model you’ll implement
I intend to use pieces of the structural examples, like “Modeling a Rectangular Building Frame” in my design. I want the numbers of columns and beams to be inputs and variable, as well as all of the dimensions. I will be designing the treehouse almost fully on dynamo except for a few inputs such as details (slide, ladder, seating) that will be imported from Revit. For these details I searched “RevitCity” and made my own edits to the imported families to customize them to my liking. I intend for the geometry of my script in Dynamo to take the longest for this assignment but I am excited to try and get creative!
Outputs
- Your dream treehouse
- Cost of Construction
- Hours for Assembly
