GEODEX+Grasshopper

GeoDex for Grasshopper is now under development.

This new addition to the GeoDex page of Neoarchaic.net will allow the user to now download a Grasshopper vb component version of all the available formulas.

Currently only the Hypotrochoid is available, but others will be added slowly.

Rain

I recently saw an exhibition on the work of Utagawa Kuniyoshi at Japan Society in NYC and was taken with the elegent simplicity of his representation of natural forces in a graphic medium. The following is one of a growing library of Rhinoscripts looking to produce spatial graphics of natural forces which can be captured in two dimensions.

This Rhino Script produces a series of lines which fall like rain upon Rhino's cplane. If a droplet hits there is a splash. The user can input the number clusters where the rain will fall from, the relative radius of the cluster, the percentage of the way that the rain can fall short as well as a few other conditions. The rain is colored with a gradient according to distance along the V domain of the surface to allow for the production of depth.

Choice: Finalist for James Beard Award, 2010

Choice Market, by Evan Douglis Studio is a finalist for the 2010 James Beard Award, Outstanding Restaurant Design. Congratulations to Evan Douglis and the whole team who worked to make this project possible.

Choice: Update

The architect's Newspaper recently posted the first architectural review of Choice restaurant on their site. The review focuses on the materiality of the space and features a brief conceptual quote from Evan Douglis.

Choice Dumbo, Open for Business

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.
