Sjoberg Programatic Constraints
This weeks focus on programatic constraints took us through the process of creating a script to re imagine the Seattle public library. We started with a spreadsheet from which values could be referenced in order to create forms representing the programatic volumes. From this point our script used the height of the boxes to determine the vertical spacing. The iterative portion of this script came from the use of random number generators that would move the volumes in the x and y dimensions. This created a means of variation for the stacked form. The ability to insert data from a spreadsheet in grasshopper is a new concept to me. The benefits are easily imaginable, but primarily it allows you to reference sets of external data that are based off of real world constraints. Lunchbox, as a toolset allows for the division of surfaces for paneling and structure as well. Moving forward with our exploration of Grasshopper I'm sure the skills in this exercise will be implemented in many forms.
