Explore Tumblr blogs with no restrictions, modern design and the best experience.
Fun Fact
BuzzFeed published a report claiming that Tumblr was utilized as a distribution channel for Russian agents to influence American voting habits during the 2016 presidential election in Feb 2018.
Today I found a good video about merging tubes with different angles, ellipses, phase shift of sine waves, featuring sculptures by Frank Smullin.
This video is exceptionally comprehensive.
[Shared by hardm.ix on instagram: Text says: "A little more on the analytic constructivist sculpture of Frank Smullin, a professor of mine at Duke University who combined art and engineering in a way that reminded me a little of Kenneth Snelson and Tensegrity or Buckminster Fuller and geodesic domes."]
Comprised of Undulating Bricks, A Facade Allows Light to Stream in Without Sacrificing Privacy
The innovative project of Farhad Mirzaie and the firm A.P.P. Architects & Associates, “Revolving Bricks Serai” is a dynamic office building in Arak, a city largely known as the industrial capital of Iran. Nestled within a residential area, the structure is designed with privacy in mind and features a rippling, wave-like facade made of brick that allows natural light to stream through while obstructing outside viewers from peering into the space.
The individual blocks, which have ends painted in turquoise and azure, are arranged according to parametric design. A booming trend in architecture, the style generally focuses on sweeping, curved lines, forms simulating structures occurring in nature, and a consideration of how elements interact individually and as a whole. An algorithm determines many of today’s designs based on these geometric principles, although Antoni Gaudí is widely credited for pioneering analog methods with his upside-down modeling.
In this tutorial, we will learn about 2 Grasshopper components: Partition List and Split Tree minute: 6:30 Partition List will let you take a list and output a list of sub-lists where the count of elements in each of those sub-lists is controlled using a custom pattern. The Split Tree component will let you take a complex list of sub-lists and pick from one or more of those sub-lists one or more elements and even a range of elements based on a certain custom mask we supply
The might morphin’ Splinter (Devanagari) designed by Namrata Goyal and Frederik Berlaen and engineered by Joana Ranito and I is now available via Future Fonts!
Collaboration with Madeline Gannon for Freeform TV. We created parametric designs that would generate unique 3D bracelets based on data extracted from users' Twitter timelines.

Developed in Processing, 3D print on-demand by Shapeways. 5000 bracelets were printed as a giveaway for Freeform fans.

Exploring the Power of Parametric Design in Architecture
Parametric design has become an increasingly popular tool in the field of architecture, offering architects a new way to approach complex design challenges. By leveraging the power of algorithms and computational design tools, architects can create innovative and visually striking buildings that push the boundaries of traditional design methods. In this post, we’ll explore the concept of…
Everything You Need to Know About Parametric Designs
Today's design trends emphasize the aspect of aesthetics and prefer groundbreaking properties like parametric design. Straight lines, sharp corners, and acute angles are no longer in demand. Instead, free-form architectural concepts meet requirements becoming more modern as time goes on.
You might not know it, but a lot could be said about parametric architecture.
Blending proportions and traditional styles and materials, it moves way beyond functionalism.
Allocating additional responsibilities like urbanism, interior design, and decoration.
Its system of values comes from uniqueness and adaptability with the computerized use of algorithms.
Metaguise also offers facades and claddings with a parametric design which looks very modern and futuristic. They have two different variations of these designs which are flaps and fins.
In this update, I added the Cap input parameter, which is a Boolean value, that allows the user to cap the top level of the extruded geometry. The resulting output is the extruded 2D curves + the caps as separate objects.
