informed skins | data-driven envelopes – GH workshop – Vienna
The workshop aims at managing and develop the relation between information and geometry working on condition-specific envelope systems. Surface discretization (paneling), driving geometry through information (whether coming from environmental analysis or any kind of database), extracting and managing informations for construction processes all require an understanding of data structures in order to build seamless design-to-construction pipelines. Through visual scripting in Grasshopper (Generative modeling plug-in for Rhinoceros) participants will learn how to build and develop parametric data structures (from basic simple lists to complex data trees), data-driven geometry and envelopes and how to extract relevant informations from such models for construction processes. Participants will also develop a personal envelope project and its full design-to-construction pipeline.

[…] “Informed Skins” 工作营 旨在管理及发展工作在特定条件范围维护系统的讯息与几何之间的关系。曲面离散化(镶板)、驱动几何信息(无论是来自环境分析或任何类型数据库)，提取及管理信息建构过程中需要了解的数据结构，无缝地建立从设计到施工的管路。通过可视化的Grasshopper程序(Rhino参数化建模插件)，参与者将会学到如何建立及发展参数化数据结构(从基本列表到复查的数据树结构)，由数据生成的几何数据及外皮，并学习如何从模型结构过程中撷取相关的信息，学员将会自行制作一个外型项目并制作出从设计到建构的管线。 […]
