Playing around Computational BIM & Computational Design: the Twisted-Foils
These days I’m really regretting the good old flux.io and I really hope that soon returns in other guises. However, I have systematized a simple workflow that allows me to perform some practical interoperability operations (not live connections) between Revit+Dynamo and Rhino+Grasshopper. On the one hand for research purposes,
From Meta-Design to the development of Post-Occupancy Evaluation model
In this short article, I would like to share with the Linkedin community part of the methodology that I experimented to solve some critical issues… Read More »From Meta-Design to the development of Post-Occupancy Evaluation model

MC Wordcloud: Scripting as Creative expression of the Design
Scripting as creative expression of the Design. Workflow developed to generate the Apple iOS Developer Academy “Wordcloud” (window-frame of the Main Classroom). The need to create an ad hoc script arose from the need to adapt

Development of a single interface for displaying metadesign suggestions guides simultaneously to the visual outputs of user feedback. A result that sets the basis for… Read More »Simple UI + Users’ Feedback
Apple Developer Academy between Algorithmic Design and Construction Management – Main Classroom, concept and realization
This research describes the author’s experience in the design of the collaborative spaces of the Apple iOS Developer Academy (Naples). The intent is to explore the new frontiers of BIM using algorithmic tools to manage the formal and informative features of the project.
Main Classroom pre-installation scheme
Procedure to make chairs positioning easy (and the scheme printing too).
main problem was preserving chairs orientation, to reach that condition I had to provide the exact position of the anchor points (4 pts for each chair – 200 chairs). At the end, by a very simple “hack”, I optimized the printing procedure splitting the draws printing layouts with ref. (plotter A0 roll – A0 max dimension fixed).
Main Classroom – Chairs Positioning
Positioning of Main Classroom chairs by a cross-platform algorithms (Grasshopper+Dynamo by flux.io. Designer needs just drawing a line to position and to orient all MC chairs.
Façade Adaptive Component – Algorithms BIM modelling
Modelling a façade adaptive component by Grasshopper+Dynamo algorithms. Use of the two most popular visual scripting platforms in BIM and free form modelling.
Extract garden contours – Export DWG
Algorithms Aided design approach. Extracting garden contours by Grasshopper definition (by Kangaroo plugin), then importing polylines as DWG format into Revit model of polo Scientifico “Federico II” – San Giovanni a Teduccio (Apple iOS Developer Academy).
Model sharing – Totem concept
Model shared between designer (thesis’ author) and manufacturing company. By web application, Modelo, it’s easier than in the past sharing data model (and exploring it
