Overview
In this assignment, you’ll explore different ways that the Attractor Logic can be applied to designing features in the built environment.
The common thread in all these applications is that you create a grid of objects, then adjust some property of those objects (for example, their size or height) to reflect the distance between each object and a target point.
For our applications, we’ll use a sine or cosine wave function to add a bit of interest to your designs. So, rather than use a linear relationship to the distance, we’ll set the property that we’re adjusting cycle up and down – similar to the undulating ripples that move across a pond when a pebble is dropped into it.

Submit
- Please create a folder named “Module 2” within your personal folder in our Autodesk Construction Cloud project.
- Then, upload these items to your Module 2 folder using the web interface:
- For Dynamo projects
- Your Revit project (.rvt) file and your Dynamo script (.dyn) file
- For Grasshopper projects
- Your Grasshopper script (.gh) file
- 4units_SampleStudent_Module2_Walk in the Park.rvt
- 4units_SampleStudent_Module2_Walk in the Park.dyn
- 4units_SampleStudent_Module2_Eliminate the Echo.gh
- 4units_SampleStudent_Module2_Happy Facade.rvt
- 4units_SampleStudent_Module2_Happy Facade.dyn
- Create a link to your Module 2 folder:
- Right-click on the Module 2 folder in the file tree (at the left side of the interface) and choose Share from the pull-down menu.
- Choose Share with Project Members, then switch to the Link tab.
- Click the Copy button to copy the link to your clipboard.
- Create a new posting on this Notion page — Design Journal Entry: Laws of Attraction — that includes a brief overview of each of the models you’ve created. Each project overview should include:
- A screenshot of your finished model geometry
- Walk in the Park - an image of the Dynamo geometry
- Eliminate the Echo - an image of the Rhino geometry
- Happy Facade - an image of the Revit wall
- A few sentences describing your modeling approach
- The link to your Module 2 folder in our Autodesk Construction Cloud project.
Please follow this naming convention for all of your uploaded files:
"#ofUnits_NameAndLastName_Module#".
For example, for 4 units the full file set would be:
