Arch 653 Final Project

 ARCH 653 Final Project Facade Design implementing Dynamo Instructor: Dr. Wei Yan Created By: Hanbin Kim Project Brief For this project, I was tasked to create the facade pattern design that I planned to implement in my Masters of Architecture final studies project. Creating the facade was not the challenging part, but rather the use of Dynamo to control how the facade's pattern was moving and being arranged. My main focus of the project was to create diagonally arranged solids and voids to create a spiral effect as the project is a high rise. The image below is my desired end goal with Dynamo. While I was working on the project, I ran into several challenges, not only in Dynamo but also with the Revit family files and the divided surface of the mass in the project file. Although I was unable to get the desired look from the get-go, I was able to come up with a usable facade design by the end of the project, this has become a vital part of a proof of concept. With a little more wor

Arch 653 Midterm (Allianz Arena)

Image
  ALLIANZ ARENA by Herzog & de Meuron This midterm project aimed to recreate an existing project and develop it into a parametric model. I chose to do the Allianz Arena, primarily a soccer stadium and the home of Bayern Munich in Munich, Germany. The world-renowned architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron designed the stadium. This stadium was designed for the German soccer team, Bayern Munich. It started in competitions in 2001-02 and the design and completion took from 2002 until 2005. In 2005, it was completed and opened to hold games in the new stadium. Rendering 1 Interior Rendering 1 Original Parameters Height and Panel Sizing Parameter Change Length and Width Parameter Change Height and Panel Parameter Changes After completing this project, I have discovered that parametric modeling in Revit is not as intuitive as it could be. However, it has many elements that can be adjusted to do what I need it to do. It was difficult to generate parameters that the software agreed with a

ARCH655 Final Project

Image
 For project two in ARCH655, it was a continuation of project one and I decided to develop more parametric design iterations of the canopy at the Smithsonian Institution courtyard designed by Foster + Partners located in Washington DC. The priority of this project was to create a more abstract form of the canopy with the ability to create variations along with creating a simple mass and structural form for the canopy. The use of AI was implemented to create design concepts to be implemented in the grasshopper modeling with midjourney.  Image: https://www.fosterandpartners.com/projects/smithsonian-institution-courtyard AI-Generated  Images: These AI-generated images were done using MidJourney. The prompts for these images were " wave form parametric roof canopy with uniform triangular grid glazing openings (similar to the Smithsonian Institution courtyard ) for a courtyard encased by building" This prompt gave the best results to the style of canopy that I was particularly loo

ARCH655 Project 1

Image
For project one, I decided to research and learn more about the parametric design of the canopy at the Smithsonian Institution courtyard designed by Foster + Partners located in Washington DC. The priority of this project was to create a more abstract form of the canopy with the ability to create variations along with creating a simple mass and structural form for the canopy. The use of AI was implemented to create design concepts to be implemented in the grasshopper modeling.   Image: https://www.fosterandpartners.com/projects/smithsonian-institution-courtyard Canopy Structure: Final canopy structure design without the canopy paneling using grasshopper.    Mass Modeling:                          For the mass modeling, I created an outline of the building to then extrude the surface                                                                                      towards the z-axis with the slider.  Columns Modeling: The column design was created using two points and using the pipe
