Grasshopper - gmp - SOSC _ #04 - Gymnasium Grasshopper Definition Files

by the chance of a parametric architecture design conference in Tongji University
i did a report of form-finding of project Shanghai Oriental Sports Center
meanwhile i sort out the grasshopper definition file of the Gymnasium basic geometry
they are formed by booleaning a serier of precisely controlled balls and tubes

here's the link of the file
mind that the files are generated by rhino 4 and grasshopper 0.6.0059
hope that it's useful to you

Grasshopper - gmp - SOSC _ #03 - Outdoor Diving Pool Roof 3D model in browser

progressing the tendering drawing of facade and roof
all the work are really base on the 3-Dimension geometry
considering all the details including cladding meterial fixing, substructure, drainage system, membrane, acoustic effect, competition and landscape lighting, catwalk, maintain entrance, bracing penetration, and so on...
since the cladding meterial are decided as aluminum but not GRC, in order to lower the risk on hand of possibility, all cladding division and related details will be redone in a relative short time T_T

here presents the 3D model of Outdoor Diving Pool Roof model in browser
to be honest, this excits me so much to view real 3D objects in Flash-swf in browser!
it's not any more hard to imaging that in the future, there's no software, no harddisk
every thing are in browser in form of 3D or even 4D, which can be accessful anywhere there's a output device

Grasshopper - gmp - SOSC _ #02 - mockup

first of all, the SASC – Shanghai Aquatic Sports Center was renamed by the mayor
now it is called SOSC – Shanghai Oriental Sports Center
(seems all important building or event are called “Oriental XX” in Shanghai ...)

the façade and roof 1:1 mockup of SOSC is finished
it is one corner of the last girder of natatorium
and the girders is one series of slightly changing shapes
which is generated by grasshopper
and whose surfaces are all part of developed-geometry, balls or tubes

typical detail


“really huge!”
was the first word when any of us saw it first time
it’s actually 11m high

Grasshopper - gmp - SASC _ #01 - introduction

sorry for long time no updating the main issue
coz i'm really involved in an EXCITING real project of our office - gmp
SASC - shanghai aquatic sports center
including one gymnasium, one natatorium and one outdoor diving stadium mainly
as shown following
it's a very important and urgent project
just like the Birdnest and Watercube in Beijing for Olympic
it will be constructed and in use 2011

birds view

natatorium

gymnasium

outdoor diving pool

view to HuangPu river

in the competition stage
it is treated very free with the control cage like that

and right now
they are proposed to be built
so
every piece of surface should be developed surface
such as a part of ball or tube

firstly i operate in rhino to find the correct balls and tubes
which pass through precisely the control points

it take half a day to make all the shapes of one element
so i start to realize that the progress should be some how
recorded and progammed in a smart way
of cause
first thing come in mind is GC-generativeComponent
but let's say
i tried once with GC
it's just too boring and hard to control with lot of commands, functions
and you have to get use to the MicoStation system
so finially GrassHopper is the best choice
later on i will introduce what i've done and what i'm doing more detailly
:)
