Currently under developement: Gridshell Control v1.0

at the moment we are developing the final version of the Gridsehll Control project. the final machine will allow us to analyze structural systems and compare them to each other with the help the Gridshell Control v1.0 software.

the machine will also have the feature to be connected to grasshopper to be able to interactively control structural grasshopper scripts with the help of real-time gathered stress values.

Interactive Surfaces - Vol. One

90 sensor values in one model. the "interactive surfaces vol. one" model will be shown at the University of Kassel, Germany on monday, 08.11.10 to visualize the aim of the dnalab workshop.

with the help of the model and a connection to grasshopper it is possible to control a generated interactive surface in rhinoceros. 30 joysticks are tracking the x and y movement and 30 light resistors react on light changes.

Gridshell control v0.1b

finally the first version of our gridshell control system. it is not an designer masterpiece but good enough to work with it to see the reaction of the gridshell during an deformation process. the final version and the interpretation into the auditorium university innsbruck, austria project will be coming soon (Music: "Il dolce suono" from the 3rd act of Lucia di Lammermoor, developed in the context of a course of the KoGe institute, University Innsbruck)
