I am using a grasshopper image sampler to analyse a geometrical pattern found within the Alhambra and create a mashriyba screen for the roof of the covered part of the pavilion
Defines the size of the grid and the different points that are to be sampled
The different points are evaluated in comparison to the image. The sampler assesses the brightness of the image at the different points.
The surfaces are extruded and the circles are taken away from the surface giving the final screen
Circles are created at the individual points. The radius of the circle is derived by analysing the brightness of the image.
The screen creates a space that is partially covered but still open to the environment. This provides further shading that will change over time.
EXTREME CHANGE
