Grasshopper Model - Video

 

A video that shows the nature of the final model that I've generated using Grasshopper. The premise of the model is what I've called a "shade wall"; essentially it is a divided grid of rectangular panels generated from a lofted surface between two identical curves. The individual grid pieces rotate and reorient in response to an attractor point in the model, which results in a variety of configurations of each individual piece of the grid. 

As a result, generative modeling has provided a system by which an entire "wall" system or skin is controlled at any given time by the distance and location of one point, ultimately dictating the overall look and permeability of the surface itself. Rendered images include shadow to demonstrate this.
