Description
This parametric structure is supposed to represent a covered walkway or hallway. The inspiration for this kind of structure actually came from my high school; I grew up in California and our school was designed as an outdoor school so when it rained I always wished for more covered walkways. I originally modeled the controlling geometry of the walkway as four different curves and built columns as well as a roof structure out of those curves. My final design uses a sine wave to model the roof structure (girders, beams, and panels) and a smaller arc to control the location of the column bases.
There are different ways in this graph to control the geometry of the structure including flexing of the sine wave and sliders to change the height, length, and width of the structure. There are also options to change the number of panels, beams, and girders on both the roof surface and the side surfaces. The idea of the triangular openings in the side and roof panels was to let in more sunlight, but ideally they would have some type of transparent/translucent insert to protect against the rain. The radius of all structural elements can be changed as well (currently 0.4-0.5), and there are options to change the color of the elements.
