ACADIA Conference | San Fransisico

Glenn will be presenting his and Anca Trandafirescu's (area.architecture) research project 'Cutwork: Robotic Hotwire Foam Cutting for Producing Variable Pre-cast Units' at the ACADIA conference in San Fransisco on Friday, Oct. 19. More info on the project can be found on their practice site here.

surface domain | rhinoscript - python

In this tutorial I demonstrate the basic building blocks for generating geometry from a UV surface. This tutorial follows in the logic of previous 'point matrix' systems by generating a dictionary of the points 'evaluated' from the surface. Script can be downloaded here. Total Length: 25.35

3D point matrix | rhinoscript - python

This tutorial builds upon the concepts covered in the 'point matrix' tutorial of 9/19/12. It covers the use of dictionary to create a 3D point matrix with a keyed index. This allows one to later access any point in the matrix through these key values or through an equation. I demonstrate how to use this to create variable 3D geometry. The two scripts demonstrated can be downloaded here and here. Length:28.32

fractal recursion | rhinoscript - python

In this tutorial I build upon the techniques of recursion and pseudo scripting introduced in the last tutorial with a more complex generative system. Script can be downloaded here. Total Length: 27.01

spiral recursion | rhinoscript - python

In this tutorial I introduce the concept of recursion by writing a script that produces a spiral form from a single line. This type of recursion recursively calls a function from within itself - inputting the new data it produces, creating an endless loop. The script can be downloaded here. Total Length: 28.51
