Complete parametric modelling of a project

Thesis Schulprojekt Aufgabe: Die Aufgabe bestand darin, ein Hallenbad mit einem Holztragwerk in Steffisburg zu planen Konzept: War eine Welle. Organisation: Schwimmbad, Räume etc. Rhino Grasshopper: wurde für alle Elemente und alle Phasen des Projektes verwendet. Von der ersten Skizze bis zum letzten Detail. Mein Ziel: Ich wollte alles in Grasshopper erstellen. Zuerst schaute ich nach Vorbildern und deren Arbeitsweise, dabei konnte ich viel von Firmen wie Front Inc. Oder Zaha Hadid Architects lernen. Mein Projekt waren zu gross für eine Skript, also teilte ich die Skripte den einzelnen Funktionen entsprechend: 1x Skript für Tragwerk, 1x Skript für Fassade … Weiter ist es wichtig, die richtige Einstellung zu haben und zu sagen, ja wir versuchen das so. Wenn man gleichgesinnte Freunde hat ist das auch ein Vorteil, da man voneinander lernt. Weiter wurde auch mit GH die Modelle gebaut. Mithilfe von Laser und CNC Maschinen konnte die digitale Prozesskette komplett gedeckt werden.

Session 2

Hanno Stehling (Design To Production)

From Design to Production - Large Scale Parametric Models in Rhino

Design-to-Production is a consultancy for the digital production of complex designs. The services of Design-to-Production range from consulting for parametric planning, detailing,optimization and digital manufacturing, to the development of parametric CAD models and the implementation of complete digital production chains, from design through fabrication, logistics and assembly.

During the past years, Design-to-Production has successfully worked on projects by renowned architects like Zaha Hadid, Renzo Piano, Daniel Libeskind, SANAA, Shigeru Ban, and UN Studio, including the Mercedes Benz Museum in Stuttgart, the Rolex Learning Center at the EPF Lausanne, and the Centre Pompidou in Metz.

Hanno will give some insight into how Design-to-Production utilizes Rhino to achieve highly detailed fabrication models of those complex structures by setting up a hierarchy of parametric components, including interfaces into structural engineering and fabrication as well as management of issues and general quality control.

Riccardo La Magna & Philipp Längst (str.ucture)

Engineering workflows. Tools and strategies for the design of structures.

The increasing requirements of contemporary design have been accompanied by radical changes in the typical workflow of engineers. The development of CAD and CAE tools has vastly reconfigured the way designers and engineers work and collaborate, leading to a more refined and integrated exchange of data and information. An overview of projects by str.ucture will show how these workflows are managed at multiple levels, from conception, through simulation up to fabrication and construction.

As part of this strategy of workflow integration, a newly developed plugin, Kiwi3d, will be presented. Kiwi3d enriches the CAD design environment of Rhino and Grasshopper with the potentials of Isogeometric Analysis (IGA). Isogeometric Analysis methods unveil significant potentials regarding the computer-aided working background, as they enable to use one consistent mathematical model description (non-uniform ration B-Splines, NURBS) throughout architectural and engineering design phases, while geometry transformations or remodeling (such as meshing) become irrelevant.

Judyta Cichocka (Parametric Architecture)

Digital tools changing the face of the industry

In the last 10 years, the AEC industry has been going through major changes, after the financial
crash of 2008 specialist has been looking for new methods of design and construction.
Parametric tools emerged and become a popular design method for architecture and design
companies. Berlin is a true global city of the XXI century, educating and attracting experts and
engineers from all around the globe. We can clearly observe a movement of data-driven,
environmental and social responsible design that is shaping new design paradigm.

Gregory Quinn (UdK Berlin)

SheltAir - pneumatic falsework for the erection of elastic gridshells

The SheltAir pavilion investigates the use of air-filled cushions to rapidly, safely and cheaply erect beautiful and structurally efficient elastic gridshells for events and humanitarian causes. Scientifically developed by Gregory Quinn as part of his doctoral thesis at the Berlin University of the Arts and exhibited at ANCB The Aedes Metropolitan Laboratory in Berlin.

Elastic gridshells such as Frei Otto’s Multihalle in Mannheim are highly efficient structures, able to cover large spans with very little material or embedded energy. The simplicity of these structures lies in their ability to generate beautiful doubly-curved shell surfaces from slender and initially straight beams. While elastic gridshells are efficient in their built-state, the existing methods with which to erect them are usually associated with significant complexity, cost and time. This method makes use of pneumatic falsework (i.e air-filled cushions)and has the potential to greatly increase the speed of construction for large-span shells (i.e. up to 100m in a matter of days), which would have groundbreaking implications on construction costs and efficiency with promising potential for application in rapidly deployable event covers and shelters.

Ralf Lindemann (Pilbrow and Partners)

Insourcing

At Pilbrow and Partners we have developed under my leadership an architectural design approach that fully integrates the latest available resources in technology, modelling and data. It has helped us to expand our ambition, reach and capacity.

Design innovation and insight are central to our work and we harness a wide spectrum of evaluation tools to assist in research, appraisal and optimisation.

 

Over the past years, we have invested in in-house modelling capabilities to provide accurate real-time feedback on development options. Within my research group have developed these capabilities in response to specific project demands, but we are now using the tools routinely across all new jobs in the office. We believe in the power of in-sourcing: developing our own tools and systems gives us an in-depth understanding of the implications of alternative design approaches. We can work faster, with greater accuracy and we can deliver better results for our clients. The opportunity for architects to harness the power of new analytical and data resources is enormous and we believe the practices that do so will thrive.

 

Rhino and Grasshopper are an integral part of our skill-set and computational prowess and have truly helped to streamline the design process. In this presentation I will show a few of the innovations and technologies we have developed to achieve an enhanced workflow.

Yavor Stoikov (chaosgroup)

Parametric, Meet Realism: Real-time rendering for parametric design with V-Ray 3 for Rhino

When Chaos Group launched V-Ray 3 for Rhino, it set on the path of bringing designers using McNeel’s versatile 3D modeling application ever closer to the V-Ray overall experience, power and ease of use – with a twin CPU and GPU engine, Swarm, new materials, section cuts. Yet among the huge array of new features lay an addition, bringing a unique new approach to every parametric workflow – a V-Ray RT component within Grasshopper. Which, to put it simply, means observing your design evolving at any moment, without exiting the parametric design plugin. In real time!

Now with V-Ray 3.6 for Rhino on the horizon, things have evolved even further, which you will witness in detail at an exclusive preview of the new version.

c--c glas kriegt die kurve
Architekten freuen sich über über möglichst vielfältig einsetzbare Baustoffe. Beton
lässt sich in beliebige Formen gießen und auch Metalle, Holzwerkstoffe und Kunststoffe
sind sehr vielseitig formbar.

Glas bildet eine Ausnahme: Zwar lässt sich auch Glas thermisch verformen, allerdings
ist der notwendige Prozess langwierig und somit teuer. Bei der Mehrzahl der Hochbau-
Verglasungen passt projektbezogen hergestelltes Biegeglas nicht ins Budget.

Das Produkt-Konzept c–c macht den Werkstoff Glas universell kurvengängig und
basiert auf preiswert vorproduzierten Halbzeugen. Die c–c Profile eignen sich für

TRANSITIONS: The digital / structural design of the “Grand Théâtre de Rabat” in Morocco (@AKTII) and the Brommy New Footbridge in Berlin (@ SPANS associates)

The presentation will first introduce the digital design and structure delivery of the Grand Theatre de Rabat (under
construction), done within AKTII team in London. The project, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, includes a 1,800-seat
theatre, a large open-air amphitheatre as part of a national programme of cultural development located on the
Bouregreg River between the ancient twin cities of Rabat and Salé. The complex nature of the programme and the form
demanded an advanced digital design process for the structural design. The most prominent example of the 3D process
is the structural envelope wrapping around the entire building. A highly automated and parametric workflow was set up
creating the geometry of the concrete ribs and shell.
The second part will then introduce the current design development of the Brommy New Footbridge designed by SPANS
associates. The project is a 110m span footbridge along the border of East Side gallery in Berlin. The footbridge is highly
symbolic and monumental, not only a structure crossing the river Spree but a unique opportunity to create a strong link
above the water flow, between East and West in memory of the Berlin Wall. The geometry definition and the structural
design are done in a continuous iterative workflow.

TESSA - Designing complex surfaces from tessellating parts

TESSA ist ein Geometriesystem mit dem man dreiminsionale Flächen mit wiederholenden Elementen beschreiben kann, also eine Art LEGO System für die Architektur. Der Entwicklung liegt die langjährige Arbeit der Entwurfsentwicklung dreidimensionaler Strukturen  sowie das Studium von Algorithmische Techniken zur Formgenerierung und Selektion zugrunde.

Designing architectural surfaces which are complex and aesthetically pleasing yet simple and economical to construct is a major challenge in the engineering design industry. TESSA addresses this by allowing complex surfaces to be realised from constrained libraries of customised, tessellating parts.

Parametrische Lebenszyklusanalyse in der Cloud

Architekten und Planer beeinflussen in einer Planungszeit von einigen Monaten maßgeblich die Umweltwirkungen, wie Ressourcen- und Energiebedarf oder Treibhausgasemissionen, die ein Gebäude innerhalb der nächsten 50 oder 100 Jahre verursachen wird. Im Gegensatz zu Fachplanern sind Architekten meist bereits von Beginn der frühen Phasen, bei denen das Optimierungspotential am größten ist, an der Planung beteiligt. Daher haben sie die Möglichkeit die Umweltwirkungen von Gebäuden deutlich zu reduzieren. Die Lebenszyklusanalyse oder Ökobilanzierung ermöglicht es, Gebäude ganzheitlich für den gesamten Lebenszyklus ökologisch zu bewerten und sie wird unter anderem für die Nachhaltigkeitszertifizierung von Gebäuden genutzt. Allerdings wird sie aufgrund ihrer Komplexität zurzeit nicht im architektonischen Entwurfsprozess angewendet. Der Einsatz digitaler Werkzeuge wie CAALA erlaubt es nun in Echtzeit den Lebenszyklus inklusive Energiebedarf im Betrieb und Herstellung, Austausch und Entsorgung von Materialien in Echtzeit parallel zum Entwurfsprozess berechnen zu lassen. Dadurch können Gebäudeentwürfe intuitiv und effizient ganzheitlich energetisch und ökologisch optimiert werden. In dem Vortrag wird die Arbeitsweise mit CAALA an ausgewählten Projekten vorgestellt. Darüber hinaus wird deutlich, wie eine in der akademischen Welt entwickelte Methode mit Rhino und Grasshopper anwendbar gemacht wurde und nun durch ein Startup in die Praxis gebracht wird.

Cerametrics - Parametric 3D Ceramics
3D Printing Clay is becoming the fourth way to deal with ceramic materials… After hand moulded clay, thrown at the potter´s wheel and cast moulded, additive technology is creating a new field of material transformation, which results are currently being experimented and brought to discussion.
Ceramic materials belong to human History since the Paleolithic Era and its production has been adapted by every culture upon the different technological advances. The digitalisation of the Industry also known as 4th Industrial revolution is meant to influence every aspect of human production, creating improved working strategies: replacing mass production for mass customisation. Relocating factory workers to co-working hubs where digital Crafts are emerging.
As part of my BA Thesis I developed Cerametrics: 3D parametric ceramics. A way to create a digital craft. Sequences of syntactical instructions are interpreted by the clay printer nozzle to geometries, where the complex digital design turns into a natural earth material.
