Galapagos is a component in Grasshopper that has a unique function and way of using it. It takes a bunch of sliders hooked up and changes by small, gradual amounts, all the while checking a number and trying to make that number bigger or smaller over time, depending on the settings. To make the Galapagos component work, we need Genome parameter up to any number of sliders and Fitness parameter up to a number that is produced by your Grasshopper script.

 

During the lab 4, we used a centenary curve that creates a spline curve in Rhino and need two points and a number slider to drive the length of the curve. We started torus shape and break down into a series of component, trim low half of the torus ring and rebuild 80 pieces in U direction. Then we extracted one of curve form object from original torus and deleted all of the circles to get only half curve. Using curve component, we set multiple curves in grasshopper and used dispatch component dealing with 2 different set to create automatically even and odd members. We used polyline and fillet component to remove the sharp edges of the lines. Finally we got the digital model looks like ICD/ITKE pavilion.
