09 SP : Karl Chu : Midterm Diagrams
A modular system of self similar units constructed with L-Systems for Karl Chu’s 09 Fall Design Studio at Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, NY, USA.
The project is an exercise in construction of self-similar components where their differences emerge from a gradual change to the rule sets that generate them. The geometry of each component is constructed based on its reflection on the x, y, and z axes. Eight different L-System rules were used to generate 8 different components, which changed gradually and constantly. Once these modules were constructed, a logic of connection was applied to begin the creation of topologically continuous surfaces. A line of eight components with their respective connections was obtained and replicated along a grid to form what we call a wall. The system could begin to grow in all directions based on the connection logic to create something more like a sponge, rather than a wall. I will post more images and text later on in the semester.

Un sistema de módulos construidos a base de una lógica de sistemas L para el taller de diseño de Karl Chu, otoño 09, en el Instituto Pratt, Brooklyn, NY, EUA.
El proyecto es un ejercicio de uso y construcción de componentes auto-similares donde sus diferencias emergen de un cambio gradual que sucede al cambiar las reglas que lo conforman. La geometría de cada componente se construye a base de el reflejo de la misma. Usé ocho diferentes reglas de sistemas-L para generar ocho diferentes componentes, cambiándolas gradual y constantemente. Una vez obtenidos estos módulos, empleé una lógica de conexión que une los elementos para iniciar la creación de topologías contínuas. Esta línea de ocho componentes con sus respectivas conexiones (establecidas entre sí), fue utilizada para construir lo que llamamos un muro. El sistema podría comenzar a construirse en todas direcciones para formar algo como una esponja, en vez de una superficie. Subiré mas imágenes e información conforme las produzca.

Man, you didn’t tell me you had taken a studio with Karl Chu. Nice. This algorithm stuff looks pretty hot. I definitely want to see the rest of the text and images. It’s funny I was just reading up on exactly these kinds of algorithms for Grasshopper and Processing.
Also my favorite: “…and replicated along a grid to form what we call a wall.” I literally laughed out loud.

Haha, yeah I’ll post something more later, at least the final images. Just a note, it wasn’t scripted, it was rulebased.
