4 TOOLS

01.CREATING CORNIAL FAÇADE SHADING OBJECTS

This scripting tool intends to convert mesh surface objects into surfaces with “corn-like” divisions and each unit later on is converted into shading objects.

02.FLOATING SHIPYARD TYPOLOGY PROPAGATION

This tool intends to represent the pattern through which Shipyard Settlement (for instance in Peru) propagates its site. With this tool, we are able to visualize how the residential unite potentially reproduces itself, populate and utilize a specific site condition.

03.CIRCULAR UNIT PANEL CONSTRUCT

This tool converts a regular planner objects into panel consisting of circular objects with uniform thickness.

04.SENDAI MEDIATECH COLUME MAPPING

This tool maps out the most plausible column support system in-between each circular ring structure integrated into the floor plate of each level.

  A studio in which students develop a small number of useful design tools implemented in visual basic for Rhino. These tools will then be utilized in a short design charrette to demonstrate their functionality and the resultant designer’s empowerment. Deliverables for each student will be two fold: a simple, robust and scripted tool as well as a documented design project that utilizes this technique. The project and the student’s tools will be compiled on a course website.
  
  An important goal of the course is to develop a functioning online toolbox for the students and the rest of the department. The toolbox should provide a number of useful codes, techniques and computational strategies developed by students for students.
  
  This course seeks to pose four main questions: 1. Are we developing Only tools, or can they become more? 2. When do tools become part of the design and the designer part of the tool? 3. Can tools be a means to empower designers to become more than technicians? 4. What are important and fundamental tools for current design students/professionals?
  
  Inevitably design and tools are caught in a cyclical paradigm: one where tools influence design possibilities and inversely we catalyze the design of new tools to address ever-changing design needs. Thus the tool’s inevitable importance lies solely in the application and its user.
