For the last three weeks we have been working with powercopies (smart cells), understanding the potential, behavior, advantage, and logic of such a digital element in the design process. In "Knowledge Patterns", which is the assignment for this week, we are scripting the instantiation process of the User Defined Feature (UDF) or "special powercopies". This process allows us to achieve the required complexity in a digital model (through increasing or reducing the use of powercopies on a surface). In addition, the automated - and parametrically driven - process also allows the possibility for adjusting and revising the work, unlike the previous attempts in using powercopies. In this assignment, and after going through the "bigger picture" and goals of knowledge patterns, we first create the layout (framework) for the work that will follow. But, in knowledge patterns the process will be slightly different and a will include a level of procedural ...
Welcome everyone, If your interested in parametric design, advanced 3D modeling, and the logic that governs the interaction with the digital environment then your in the right place. This blog is dedicated for my work in the Virtual Engagement Class in the Master of Science in Digital Technologies in Architecture. The Master's program is at the University of Michigan, TCAUP, Ann Arbor, MI, USA.
