AA I experiment I parametric skin perforations

Parametric Skin Perforations : This particular grasshopper definition utilizes parametric design in order to create a skin system that is perforated based off of required light. The definition sets up point attractors along the surface that can be manipulated to change the size and frequency of the perforations and therefore change the amount of light let in through the skin. The advanced parametric technology allows for the user to be able to determine the location of the point attractors. The location can be based on program, mechanics, structure, and many other elements. To the right are three examples of how the point attractors can be moved based off of different inputs. The first diagram is based on program that requires light at the base of the building. The second diagram is based on light that is program specific across various parts of the building. The third diagram is based on light at the core of the building. This definition can be applied to any surface and therefore any material. This allows the definition to be applied to multiple building envelopes with ease and differentiation.
