Taichung Metropolitan Opera House Continuing with ARCH 655 Project 1, I decided to work on the model that I created and add the patterns that can be seen in the image below. Image 1 The patterns are consist of several circles that attach to the building facade which can be realized by using Grasshopper or Python scripting. Creating Pattern by Using Grasshopper First, I baked the surfaces from project 1 grasshopper file and utilized as the base of the final project. Image 2 - Baked Model in Rhino Then, I started by creating a rectangle grid in order to insert the circles for later use.  Image 3 - Creating Rectangle Grid For the patterns, I don't want them to be exactly the same. My goal is to generate circles with different sets of the radius. In order to accomplish this, "Random" node is used to set up a list of numerous values. Image 4 - Generating Radiuses The circles were then created based on the grid. One thing t

Taipei 101 The purpose of this final project is to utilize Revit Dynamo to extend the functionality of the previously developed model in project 1. Two objectives were fulfilled in this project for realizing significant parametric modeling driven by physical or aesthetic parameters. The objectives are listed below: 1. Controlling Parameters using Dynamo 2. Changing the Design of the Building Facade     - User-Based Color Design     - Image-Driven Desgin     - Sun Orientation Driven Design Controlling Parameters using Dynamo In project 1, the parameters were created and could be adjusted within the Revit environment. However, this requires the users to manually enter the value of the parameters, which is a tedious and time-consuming process. With the help of Dynamo, it can be accomplished with a slider which is attached to the parameter. Here, I chose "Angle_Parameter", "Top_Parameter" and the parameters that control the grid to be my controlling
