WK5: Project Two - Draft Grasshopper System

Within this conceptual grasshopper system the intent was to portray an external facade of a building which is defined by various variable points. Thus portraying the notion of prosthetic architecture, or an architectural form which is defined by human form, or perhaps more importantly the manner in which an architectural form defines the human form. Thus this system presents that start of a study into producing an architectural form which either defines or is defined by a single or a collection of human forms. Forms which are symbolised by points and an architectural form defined by numerous generative splines.

The image above presents the draft system I developed, which forms two squares, thus key boundaries, before then creating a spline curve based on the position of the vertices of each square. The resultant curve is extruded producing a geometrical three dimensional surface. Thus the image below presents four different architectural surfaces and forms based on the variable position of the points or human forms.
