Interactive Brickwork Design
Concept:
This project introduces a new interactive technique for computational design. It explores parametric techniques that can be applied to create diff erent types of patterns on brick walls and then develops this new interactive technique for creating contemporary patterns on brick walls.
Design:
By integrating data between two computational platforms – the first one based on image analysis and the second one for parametric modeling, the project demonstrates a methodology and application that can generate interactive arbitrary patterns and map it to the brick wall interactively. The user can sketch any design on the sketch pad and the design will be refl ected on a 3D brickwall in real-time.
Techniques Used:
Parametric modeling: Rhino and Grasshopper
Scripting: Visual Basic Script
Sketch pad: Processing (Java programming)
3D Rendering: VRay
Data Transfer Technique: UDP protocol
