Urban Developement Proposal
This project is a collaboration with Dragos Mila. We parametrically explored possible future configurations for the study area (450ha large, at the intersection of two main planned road-infrastructure extensions) and tried to push for a solution that would maximize performance (density, height, shading, access to natural elements and connectivity) of the whole region while leaving [...]
Grasshopper Boids/Agents
Call them what you will, but there’s been a huge hype about them some time ago. Grasshopper’s scripting capabilites are now a huge super cool feature, especially if you’re coding in visual studio (c#) and then pasting the shit or making dlls. I did this some time ago when i suddenly realized that you can [...]
Parametric Design Workshop HTWK Leipzig
I have been (re)invited to teach at the upcoming Parametric Design Workshop that’s going to take place at the HTWK Leipzig. The line-up includes: Ioulietta Zindrou, Maite Bravo, Verena Volger, Luis Fraguada (of Barcelona/IAAC fame); Yours truly Dimitrie (of Bucharest fame); Henning Rambow, Patrik Bedarf (Leipzig crew); I haven’t been that productive lately due to [...]
Rule Based Design Symposium TU Berlin
I’m on the speaker list at the Rule Based Design Symposium at the TU Berlin. Thank you Christophe for the invite! (27.05.09) The Symposium takes place at 18:00 in the Geodätenstand 6 O.G. TU Berlin Hauptgebäude, Straße des 17. Juni 135, 10623 Berlin. The Rule Based Design Symposium highlights contemporary academic and practice based research [...]
3d Voronoi in grasshopper
More as a scripting experiment, when i was mucking about trying to make the delaunay triangulation work in grasshopper i somehow found the wonderfully complex qhull library which i promptly set to push and pull to get it to work with grasshopper. As advised on their website, the best way to do it is to [...]
Grasshopper Voronoi diagram (update)
For those who really like to play with voronoi regions and stuff, here’s the final grasshopper definition file (right click, save target as – else you’ll get a ~250kb of useless xml in your browser window). The vcell component outputs now individual cells as closed polylines and closed nurbs curves. This is useful if you [...]
SPRscrpts is out now
SPRscrpts for Rhino is out now. Grab it while it’s fresh (and buggy). Sorry for the huge delay.
SPRscrpts
RELEASED! SPRscrpts is coming (with documentation). It brings to your Rhino 4 SuperShapes, SphericalHarmonics, SuperTori and Shells. Below is an illustration of what it can do (that’s the shell script at work).
Spherical Harmonics
Wanna be more inventive than Liebeskind, Ghery or Zaha? Well, you easily can. The following will generate quite a few possible shapes, some of which will surely look better than this.

comp. mast.
This post is going to be narcissistic. Why? Because I’ve recently done an inventory of the programming languages I am or have been playing with: Python (in Blender and NodeBox), RhinoScript/VBScript, Java/Processing, ActionScript, a little PHP (in highschool) and the allmighty C++. And, why not, I do dabble a bit in JavaScript. And here’s what [...]
Perfume, Voronoi Regions and Architecture
That would summarize my last project at the design studio. Our theme consisted of creating a “perfume museum” at a site located in the vicinity of the Mogosoaia Palace. (I found it to be a very difficult site – history, tradition, nature etc. how to properly integrate a building in such a rich and precise [...]
