Learn to build a twisted building in Rhino and Grasshopper by creating base circle, twisting a segment around center point, duplicating modules for floors and exterior skin with a script.
Create a parametric base for twisted building in Grasshopper by establishing an origin with a base point, defining a circle footprint via a radius slider, then rotate and copy vertically.
Move the base geometry along the z axis, create a vertical series of copies with a height step, rotate by 15 degrees, and form an interpolated base curve.
Create rotated towers by extruding or sweeping a circular base in Rhino and Grasshopper, then multiply around a center tower using a series and adjust rotation steps.
Create vertical floor slabs by extruding the base and arraying copies along the z vector, then divide height by floor count to space slabs and apply a skin.
Explore how to design a twisted parametric building skin by subdividing an initial form, extruding along curves, rotating and joining ISO surfaces, and visualizing with color-coded pipes for render-ready geometry.
Advance your twisted parametric building skills in Rhino and Grasshopper by finalizing models, updating parameters, and exporting ready-to-deliver geometry.
If you are interested in Grasshopper and want to learn how it works, this is perfect for you. Don't be intimidated and give it a try! My name is David Copete and I will make sure to guide you through the exercise steps so you can learn the interface and how to work with this program. Once you get through the initial learning stage, it will become one of your most useful design tools.
In this class you will learn how to create a Twisted Parametric Building using Grasshopper for Rhino. These tutorials are great for students who are trying to expand their design arsenal. They will allow you to create some complex and impressive designs in a quick amount of time. The steps in this tutorial are useful for many other applications. So make sure to follow me for future lessons, and let me know if you have any questions, or ideas for future videos. By the end of this course, you will have a better understanding of how Parametric Design works and how you can apply it to your specific use case.
