Assignment 03 | Form Found

By Nima Luorong, 19/12/2023

Greetings, everyone! Welcome back to another thrilling blog post, where I explore the fascinating world of design through the lens of Grasshopper and Rhino. In this particular project, my primary focus lies in crafting intricate ceiling finishes that seamlessly connect from the ground, radiating outward from a centralized column. The goal of this unique ceiling design is to establish a centralized interior space that not only draws people in from the outside but also fosters communal conversations. All of this is made possible through the meticulous craftsmanship of a carefully designed Grasshopper definition.

This project involves the design of a ceiling finish in a Pratt Studio room with a floor area of 48′ x 32′ and a ceiling height of 13′-0″. The primary concept is to fashion a central focal point that encourages interaction. This distinctive form also serves as a light diffuser, enhancing the overall ambiance of the space.

Project 1: Product Families

By Nima Luorong

Greetings everyone! Welcome back to another exciting blog where I delve into the realm of design using Grasshopper and Rhino. In this project, my focus is on creating a versatile family of 100 products that seamlessly coexist within a unified design space—all thanks to a meticulously crafted Grasshopper definition.

The core concept revolves around vessels, which dynamically transform into various forms such as plates, bowls, and more. What sets this project apart is the intriguing ability of the product’s textures to evolve alongside its changing shape. Picture a design that adapts not only in form but also in texture, adding a layer of visual sophistication to each product.

A key highlight of this endeavor is the flexibility it offers. The complexity of the products can be easily adjusted to cater to individual preferences. Whether you prefer a sleek and minimalist aesthetic or a more intricate and detailed design, the power is in your hands. Please follow the following Grasshopper Definition:

The ultimate objective of this product design venture is to establish a harmonious family of items that seamlessly integrate into our daily lives. These products aren’t just aesthetically pleasing; they are designed with functionality in mind, making them practical additions to our daily routines.

The result is not just a collection of products but a dynamic family that mirrors the diversity and fluidity of our lives. Stay tuned for more design adventures and let your imagination run wild! SEE YOU NEXT ROUND.

Assignment 01-2D patterning Nima Luorong

In my current 2 D project, I am crafting a versatile wall panel designed for use as an acoustical element in movie theaters. The process involves transitioning from a basic triangular shape to extracting the central point, thereby generating compelling three-dimensional forms on the wall.

The followings are the steps that I took to reach the final product.

  1. Plane with X and Y Number slider to create a size of 7 width x 5 height.
  2. Used the population components with geometry from the plane, and also different number of counts
  3. Use Voronoi components.
  4. M2 to extract the center and area.
  5. Created a vector extrusion to Unit Y (number sliders)
  6. Geometry extrusion- mesh
  7. Copy all of the above and place on top of each part.
  8. Create result slider a and b for both sets to have 100 of iterations. (Please reference the following image to following the above instruction.)
  9. Shapediver materials are used to create contrast between two different panels.

Thank you for tuning in! The script follows a straightforward progression, evolving from a basic grid to a more intricate shape. The fundamental concept here is that every intricate form originates from simple geometries. Stay tuned for upcoming updates, as another exciting project is on the horizon. the following are real life application.
