Landscape Performance Modeling Using Rhino and Grasshopper

Landscape Performance Modeling Using Rhino and Grasshopper

This is a guidebook for landscape architects to learn the fundamental practices and use of the computational software Rhino 3D and the plugin Grasshopper for parametric modeling landscape inventory and performative analysis. This process visually connects intangible and abstract information with physical and spatial relationships to signify the impact ecological climate and cultural factors have on landscape performance and decision making. Each chapter begins with a summary of the performance method and its application in different projects outlining the expected goals from industry standard equations and operations. Chapters cover parametric modeling scripts to measure ecosystem services of stormwater management erosion control tree benefits outdoor comfort accessibility and many others. Using photographs tables and parametric scripts to create qualitative and quantitative representations of landscape performance and ecosystem services readers will learn to communicate the impact and significance of their outputs. This book will be beneficial to educators students and professionals interested in using computational modeling as a performance assessment and graphic visualization tool. | Landscape Performance Modeling Using Rhino and Grasshopper

Return of the Grasshopper Games Leisure and the Good Life in the Third Millennium

Return of the Grasshopper Games Leisure and the Good Life in the Third Millennium

In this sequel to Bernard Suits’ timeless classic philosophical work The Grasshopper: Games Life and Utopia published in its full and unabridged form for the first time Suits continues to explore some of our most fundamental philosophical questions including the value of sport and games and their relationship to the good life. In Return of the Grasshopper Suits puts his theoretical cards on the table exploring the in-depth implications of his definition of utopia assessing the merits of a gamified philosophy and explaining how games can provide an existential balm against the fear of death. Perhaps most importantly for the first time in print Suits reveals his underlying worldview: that humanity is forever fated to endure a cyclical existence of privation brought on by material scarcity and boredom resulting from material plenitude. An essential companion to The Grasshopper this edition includes an introductory chapter that puts Suits’ life and work into context helping the reader to understand why Suits has had such a profound influence on contemporary philosophy and how his ideas still provide powerful insight into the human condition. This book is important reading for anybody with an interest in the philosophy of sport leisure and play political philosophy ethics existentialism or utopian studies. | Return of the Grasshopper Games Leisure and the Good Life in the Third Millennium

Parametric Methods for Beginners Architecture Applications

Parametric Methods for Beginners Architecture Applications

This book introduces architectural applications of parametric methods in design drawing direct connections between each phase of the architectural design process with relevant parametric approaches. Readers will find applications of parametric methods with straightforward explanations of concepts commands as well as applicable examples for each phase of the architectural design process. In addition to learning about the historical and conceptual background of parametric design readers can use this book as a go-to source during their day-to-day design practice. Chapters are organized according to different phases of the architectural design process such as site analysis spatial organization skin systems and environmental performance analyses. Together they deliver concepts applications and examples utilizing in-depth visual guides that explain commands their outcomes and their interrelationships. With over 350 images this book includes examples from the author’s own design studio and parametric design teaching in elective classes. Based on the Rhinoceros and Grasshopper platforms this book is an accessible yet in-depth resource for architecture students and early professionals who are considering integrating parametric applications into their design processes. | Parametric Methods for Beginners Architecture Applications

Parametric Design for Landscape Architects Computational Techniques and Workflows

Parametric Design for Landscape Architects Computational Techniques and Workflows

Parametric Design for Landscape Architects provides a sequence of tutorial-based workflows for the creation and utilization of algorithmic tools calibrated toward the field of landscape architecture. Contemporary practice and projective theory in landscape architecture require the processing and design of data associated with complex systems to adequately represent composite emergent scenarios. Aligning to both traditional and nascent processes of analysis and digital modeling this book unpacks and decodes the characterization of algorithmic-based automation leveraging software that is widely accessible in both academia and professional practice. Curated throughout are workflows that apply to a multiplex of computation programs that widely support the design analysis and production of landscapes primarily concentrated on digital modeling tools Grasshopper and Rhinoceros. It is a much-needed visually accessible resource to aid in more efficient understanding and creation of tools that automate and re-examine traditional calculations analyses drawing standards form-finding strategies fabrication preparations and speculative assessments/simulation. This primer provides professionals and students with multifaceted skill-sets that when applied in practice expand and expedite conventional and speculative design workflows applicable to spatial design and more specifically landscape architecture. The book includes over 200 full-colour drawings images and tables to illustrate and support examples throughout. | Parametric Design for Landscape Architects Computational Techniques and Workflows
