Choice Dumbo, Open for Business

Image via. Brownstoner.com

Choice Dumbo, a project I have worked on for 2 years at Evan Douglis Studio is now open for business.

I want to first say thank you to everyone who has contributed and pitched in their time and effort to make it happen.

The space features a custom produced modular ceiling interfaces with a series of hand made glass blown chandeliers, which were produced in Brooklyn. Below are a series of links which house some documentation of the project in a variety of media. Currently documentation on the web focuses on the food and restaurant end, however, documentation of the architecture of the space will be coming very soon.

In the mean time, check it out yourself at

108 Jay st. Brooklyn, NY, just off the York st. F stop.

The food is amazing and I hope you enjoy the space.

Randomly Evaluate N-gon

This processing application, originally developed for a geometrically packed particle system at Evan Douglis Studio, provides the user the ability to generate a point along a parametrically defined polygon by altering the source code. The class n-gon contained in the source code, provides the user 5 inputs

1&2) an origin "x" coordinate and "y" coordinate

3) the circumscribed radius of the polygon

4) the number of faces constructing the polygon

5) the unitized value (btw 0-1) of the polygon

The result is point evaluated along a mathematical polygon.

The application at the following link showcases the capabilities of the n-Gon's parameters.

A Rhinoscript version will be coming very soon.

JitterBug

Developed to simulate the little bit of randomness which exists when you hand make things and place them in the real world this tool simply shakes things up a little bit. Simply this rhinoscript uses a random function to produced minor variations in Position (move), Orientation (rotation), and Dimension (scale) within a range specified by the user.

Point Visualization

This Rhino Script presents a series of options for the visualization of points, relative to graphic output. Once points are selected the user can then select to overlay the points with either a circle curve, cross curve, coordinate anchor curve, spherical surface, or cubical polysurface. Once the output type is selected a series of orientation options are made available, either using the world coordinate plane, the camera plane, current construction plane, or a plane perpendicular to a user specified point.

Randomizer

Randomizer is a culmination of a series of tools that I have used in the past to generate a random set of test points. This Rhino Script presents the user with a series of options to create random point clusters in different geometric volumes as well as surface or curve parameters. Random points can be made in circular, spherical, cubical configurations with varying dimensions.

Multipipe

This rhinoscript is a basic multipipe command. It allows the user to select multiple curves, the start radius, the end radius, and the cap type. The script then differentiates closed from open curves and runs the appropriate vesion of the command. This script is basic because it does not yet allow the ability to add thickness to the pipe which can create a conflict with the standard pipe command if it has been run prior with a specified thickness.

Lattice Pipe

This Rhino Script allows the user to create an oscillating lattice of curves. The user is asked to select a curve to act as a rail. The user can then select the number of strands which will oscialate around the rail, the number of points of contact and an overall torsion if desired. In addition the user can select a minimum and maxium radius of oscillation as well as the number of times it will move between these two radai.
