Deform mation and Morphing M
6_4_On R Responsive M Modulation The ideaa for the nexxt step is to m modulate a ggiven surface e with contrrol over each h module, means any module of this systeem, has to b be responsible for some certain criteeria. So even n more than regional here I want tto have a more specific control overr my system by given differentiation of the modules, h criteria. These could d be environm mental, funcctional, visuaal or any other associativve behaviourr that we ur module bee responsiblee for. want ou In the next examp ple, in ordeer to make a building’’s envelope more resp ponsive to the t host environm ment, I just wanted the system be rresponsive to the sun ligght. In your experimentss it could be wind, rain or inteernal function ns or any oth her criteria that you are llooking for.
The Grasshopper deefinition doess not have anything new w, but it is thee concept th hat allows us to make variation n over the eenvelope insttead of making a genericc surface. Baasically when n the surface e is free‐ form an nd it turns arround and has h differentt orientations, it also has different aangles with the t main sun lightt at each part. So based on the anglle differentiaation betweeen the surface and the ssun light, this variation in the componentss happens to o the system..

Here I have a surfacce, simply as the envelop pe of a building which I w want to coveer with two different types off componentts. One whicch is closed aand does no ot allow the penetration of the sun light and over my envvelope based on the the otheer has opening. These components c should be proliferated p main dirrection of the sun light aat the site. I sset a user de efined angle to say the algorithm thaat for the certain d degrees of su un light we sshould have cclosed comp ponents and for the others, open one es.
