ooooh, a double entry today.

I've spent a good few hours trying to figure out how to make a point curve a certain way in Rhino. I always seem to want to do the exact thing that falls in the cracks between two different tools. Can anyone recommend a good Rhino resource? books or advanced tutorials?

Script libraries would be cool too.

We finished up the INstallation project for studio (photos are STILL on their way) and the final pinup involved proposing a final version (though unrealized). I focused on making a very clear proposal, at the expense of my presentation and the actual design in the three days we had to do it. Of course I got banged for that, but it could have been worse. Our representation course (required for all Level I's) is focusing on diagraming (Tufte, et all.) and is by design running extremely parallel to studio. It's all about parametrics folks and the final diagram presentation of The Intervention is Monday. I'll post what I come up with then. It's interesting to consider diagramming as distortion. How the parametrics of Graphs and maps can be distorted by linking and un-linking certain metrics. I've just started some research into Mathmatical topologies as related to surface wrapping and discovered just how vast and abstract that field is.
Has anyone brought this strongly into architectural design yet?
As a technique of computer modeling?

cheers

Some student reps in the search have expressed surprise, but definately were not privy to all things impacting the decision. A lot of the debate seems to have come down to commitment. Taking...

What's been keeping this Level I busy in the two weeks since his last posting? Nothin but the two usual culprits: studio and everything else. Fernando Domeyko first project was to create an installation along the topic of INHABITATION. one week to find a site and create something, critique, then... View full entry

Whew, this is kind of test... much like the rest of this week. It feels like orientation is kind of a misnomer as all the info intended to ground me just pointed me in 18 new directions.... View full entry
