Final Project: Algorithms and Scripting for Parametric Design
ARCH 655:
Project 2
The Image of the Physical Model[1]
Project: The Main
Station Stuttgart: Stuttgart 21
Location: Stuttgart, Germany
Built: Under Construction
International
Competition 1997, 1st Prize
GFA: 185000 m2
Project one recreated and remodeled the Main Stuttgart Station with
Rhinoceros 6.0 and Grasshopper parametric tools and definition, such as
Kangaroo 0.99 and 2.00.
Project two will optimize the model again by Rhinoceros 6.0 and Grasshopper parametric tools and definitions, such as Python. In this project, the first part of the column, the more challenging part of the chalices, is optimized.
The command Galapagos is used twice. Once for minimizing the distance
between points of the curve and the points of the interpolated curve.
For the base of the semi- domed roofs, python is used.
Galapagos is used for the second time to find the center point to adjust
the center of the column to a grid.
For the last step, all the surfaces and meshes are joined and connected to
Move command to spread along with the net.
