Final Project- Dynamo

Image
Summary This project is actually the continuation of the previous project explained in the first blog however this time the project has been carried out using visual programming in Dynamo. The methodology used to create the solid mass has essentially been the same in a way that first of all a cuboid shaped mass was created. This mass was then cut from the corners to give us the desired shape of the building. This step was followed by the creation of communication rings and opening in the podium. Next, curtain panels were applied to the surface and their color was tied to the sun path. The creation of such curtain panels could not be achieved using typical techniques in Dynamo therefore new techniques were developed. Explanation 1) Creation of Mass: The following images explain the steps taken while modelling the mass in Dynamo. The nodes important to mention are: Solid.By.Loft Polygon.ByPoints Curve.ExtrudeAsSolid Solid.Difference Curve.PointAtParameter Surface.B

Midterm Project

This project is a part of ARCH 653: Building Information Modelling course offered at the Department of Architecture of Texas A&M University . The purpose of this project was to create a building model that can be controlled parametrically in different dimensions. The students were supposed to select a real world building and, prior to modelling, gather useful information about them like plans, elevations and most importantly the architect's design intent. The students were also given a free will to introduce their own design intent in the model. For my project i selected "One World Trade Centre" as my target building. The details of the building are given below: Tower Details Podium The tower rises from a podium whose square plan measures approximately 204 feet by 204 feet, the same footprints as the original towers. The podium is 186 feet tall and is clad in triple-laminated, low-iron glass curtains and horizontal, embossed stainless steel slats. The
