Surface Morph video tutorial

Youtube video tutorial on surface morphing on grasshopper.

Architecture design

Above is the original design drawn before creating on grasshopper.

I wanted to divide the building into 3 parts ( water, walkway, and bush area ).

Starting from water side to bush area, I want to create the deformation of geometry for the topology of architecture.

Also, the building will be built over water for the reflection to be created on the architecture. This is another topology in architecture.

Getting started on Grasshopper

Getting stated with grasshopper with Steve's help !
Trying to achieve having certain geometry on surface as my concept's on surface architecture.
Above pictures show geometry, cone, on surface, cylinder.
By the control of sliders on quantity of geometry in surface and how much area you want to cover, different results created.

“Terms of the ways that various classes of spaces are related by the action of various kinds of mapping”

“generally topologists are concerned with the study of topological spaces and their relations to each other by means of continuous maps, in other ways: with the study of the category Top”

“The paper describes an algorithm for constructing the topology from a set of line segments or polylines. The problem appears for example at land-maps that have been drawn by general-purpose drawing packages or captured from blue-prints by digitalisation. The solution comprises two steps; in the first step inconsistencies in the input data are detected and removed, and in the second step the topology is constructed.”

“Architects are not simply individuals working each in some isolated corner on some individual building. They are a corporate body of planners, making whole streets and villages and towns and cities of buildings, fashioning the frame within which the people live. Architects create an environment, and environment makes a people.”

“Dreams of moving, flying or floating houses are nothing new. Few have realized, But they still encourage us to reflect and to think ahead about architectural problems

“Many architecture practices took the opportunity to present their latest work, hand in hand with the ideal version they would have liked to see if the budget had been sufficient the client more understanding, the engineering more advanced or the site more beautiful.”

“The aim of topology is to find the most general setting in which concepts of the type can still be profitably defined and studied. The key to this is the realization that these concepts can all be formulated purely in terms of neighbourhoods”

“ Informally, a topology can be regarded as a ‘rule’ that gives meaning to notions like ‘continuous’, ’limit’ and ‘open’.

Lefschetz, S (1975). Applications of algebraic topology. New York: Springer-Verlag. 3-42.

“In topology, limit is dimension”.

“There are many approaches to topology. One of the most accessible is by means of the notion of distance. Our purpose in the present chapter is to sketch this approach and a few of the general concepts derivable from it”.

Ward, L (1972). Topology. New York: Marcel Dekker. 1-36.

“The concept of compactness is amongthe most important deas of analysis, and it was studied extensively in Euclidean spaces well before the notion of a topological space was conceieved. The compact subsets of a Euclidean space are simply the closed sets with finite diameter. The idea of having finite diameter does not translate readily into the terminology of topological spaces, and even in metric spaces the closed sets with finite diameter do not necessarily possess the essential qualities of compact sets in Euclidean spaces”

“To a large extent, topology is concerned with properties of sets which are preserved by continuous functions”
