Some new updates on the Pneumatic Panels Project , Toni Österlund an architecture student at University of Oulu (Finland) ,revised my code and made some improvements,the script now supports non planar polygons for creating the cushion cladding system, the problem that the code originally had, was that I used a “planar surface” command to create the primary surface to extract the centroid point ,needed to create the cushion surfaces , these new version instead uses a “patch” command , that makes possible working with non planar polygons, the whole code has also been cleaned up and simplified.
I also included here a simple Grasshopper definition that creates a honeycomb cladding which can be used to create the polygons for the panels, just one of the many tools you can use for design testing and integration into your workflow.
Have fun and don´t forget to send your feed back.
NOTE:The script is for the free domain feel free to use it and modify it for your personal research and educational purposes, For implementation in commercial projects you should notify the respective authors (that would be me and Toni )

Muy interesante tu trabajo. Sois los arquitectos los que estais cambiando el panorama del diseño contemporáneo. Trabajando conceptos como algoritmos geneticos, diseño paramétrico, etc, desde los ordenadores. ¿Qué diría Tomás Maldonado de estos horizontes creativos?
Un saludo desde las Islas Canarias.

Saludos Manuel, gracias por tus palabras , personalmente intento aportar conceptos y estrategias de diseño para realizar exploraciones formales y desarollar herramientas mas acordes a la realidad y a la tecnologia actual. Aunque aun hay mucho aprendizaje aun por realizar.Vivimos en tiempos muy emocionantes.
No he tenido oprtinidad de conocer las Islas me han dicho que es un paraiso.

hey there,
im new to parametric design and i’ve been to woojae’s site and hoping to learn more.
Hopefully from ur site the learning process a much more faster and thank you for the sources.
U didnt produce PDF tutorials?
anyway thanks~

Hi, I´m glad you´re finding the site useful , there are great comunities and sources for learning we live in great times , actually I´m saving some basic GH definitions to make a small PDF book for newbies.
