Assignment: Rise and Shine (in Progress)

Overview

In this assignment, you’ll explore how to change the surface of a structure to respond to data from various input sources, including:

  • data files and image files
  • physical properties of the surface elements, such as location, elevation, or orientation

You can use Dynamo or Grasshopper to complete your design work for each part of the assignment. Feel free to mix it up and use different platforms for each.
