ACADIA:2008 [Grasshopper Workshop]
Parametric skyscraper models produced during the 2008 ACADIA Grasshopper workshop, held by Mckneel [Rhinoceros]. During this two day workshop we worked on using the new Rhino plugin to create parametric models and designs. The particular designs were modified to rotate with solar paths and direct natural ventilation into the structure.
Evolo:09 Skyscraper
For the eVolo:09 Skyscraper Competition, Archimorph will be working to develop a project by the January deadline. Also we will be in attendance at the 2008 ACADIA Conference Silicon + Skin in Minneapolis, MN.
LifeCycleBuilding Challenge 2
Competition layout for the Life Cycle Building Challenge 2. This is Archimorphs second year entering in the competition. OPEN is a project based off the idea that solving the problems of the many, by the many, through open source, peer-to-peer cooperation will solve our problems. Sustainable housing solutions will come from the help and cooperation […]

ARCHIMORPH + LBC2[008]
Presentation boards have been electronically submitted to the Life Cycle Building Challenege 2, and are awaiting judging. For more information on the project you can visit the updated Archimorph website, under the Projects category. After the judging is complete, an in-depth analysis, of both text and images will be posted on the blog. In the […]
OpenSource Housing
The above image is an early concept rendering of the 3d printed modules creating a formed wall. OpenSource Housing is the concept we are currently developing for the LifeCycleBuilding Challenege 2, where the competition looks at the entire lifecycle of the designed building, from building materials to the systems incorporated. Where rectalinear and uniform building […]
Visualization
‘ We are currently continuing to work on our L-System and Evolutionary Algorithm. Getting ready for ACADIA we are putting together a proposal for an exhibition, rendering new images of our L-Systems growths, as well as creating new diagrams explaining the process of the overall design.
