A Walk in the Park
Dynamo was used as instructed and general steps follow assignment guidelines. First, a 200 x 200 ft grid was created with a slider that determined cell spacing. An attractor point was determined with sliders of x and y coordinates. Varying heights for the cuboid elements were determined using the sine equation and distance from the attractor point. One worthy mention is that the base height slider min is the max for amplitude slider + 1 to satisfy the base height > amplitude criteria. The chosen design above was chosen because I envisioned a children’s park so I wanted a whimsical factor and the design resembles a fish. Colors were added as a creative factor. Eliminate the Echo
Grasshopper was used as recommended and general steps follow assignment guidelines. First, a ceiling grid was made at 12 ft height with variable cell size and number. Since this means the size of the ceiling changes, the attractor point is set not using x and y coordinates but rather using a 0-1 scale factor that is multiplied by the calculated grid size. Cylinders were scaled in the z direction only based on the sine function parameters and distance to attractor point. The same base height>amplitude trick described above is used here too. Colors were added as a creative factor. The shown design was chosen because I envisioned a chandelier-like design hanging from the ceiling that spans a room.
