Module 2 - Laws of Attraction

A Walk in the Park

Images of Dynamo Geometry

Notes on Modeling Approach

Using Revit and Dynamo for the first time took some getting used to, but I really focused on learning how each node could be leveraged for a desired function. I was careful in labeling and documenting groups of nodes through each step to provide clarity on how everything was connected.
As for the geometry I wanted to create, since the prompt mentioned a park, I wanted multiple near ground-level points of egress. I changed the amplitude and frequency to have a few hill structures. I imagine the part furthest back to be an area for an audience and stage to have live music playing.

Notes on Modeling Approach

Again, I have never used Rhino or Grasshopper before this class, so I paid careful attention to the inputs and outputs of each node, making sure I provided good documentation with grouping.
I adjusted the amplitude, frequency, and attractor point in a variety of ways. The first is similar to the walk at the park geometry. However, I also captured a geometry of concentric ripples using a larger rectangular grid with smaller cylinders to reveal the sine wave with better resolution. I thought this was also a more aesthetic option.
