Tool Suggestions for Assignment

Panelization (flow object along surface)
Attractor Fields (Generating or editing objects using “circulation paths”
Object Control (Manipulating objects based on their color, layer or object type data)
Surface Analysis (Extracting local mins and maxs from a surface)

  Level: H 3 units Standard A - F Grading
  
  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.
