Final Project

Image
  This project relates to project 1 and uses the driving parameters used in project 1. The main parameter was the controlling width parameter which controlled the total width of the building. This project uses techniques learned throughout the semester to put solar panels on the roof of the building that are directly related to the current width of the building. Some of the panels are added and subtracted depending on the width, some move with the roof, and some don't move at all. Some of the panels are added and subtracted depending on the width, some move with the roof, and some don't move at all. The group shown above shows the general set up of the solar panels. If statements are used to control some panels that only show up at certain lengths, the basic if statements given by Dynamo only allow one statement at a time but if you use code blocks, you can add multiples rules to one if statement. The addition before the Point.Coordinates block are how I moved the panels into t

Midterm Project

Image
The project is based on a location in College Station, Texas. The gridlines are all based on a pre-existing building that was on the site shown at the top of the image. It created a 30' x 30' grid which I centered all of the forms around. In this project I used the size of the pre-existing building as a driving factor for how the rest of the building responds. One the first and fourth floors, because the spaces are not connected to each other, the walls do not change, only the distance between the spaces change. The second and third floors are all connected so the entire floor moves together. I did my best to have the entire space change proportionally but I struggled with moving any angled walls which greatly restricted the project.  There are housing in the original project that were on a 30' x 30' grid that I imported as simple family extrusions in the mass file. I arrayed a block and made the number of block dependent on the distance between their outside edges, the
