Catia Practice - Ball Chair

Notes that Catia has a very good capability of poly-surface offset, boolean and complaxity management.

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
