About this project
For this project we have been given a twisted shape from which we had to select a subset of vertex points such that the size of this set is minimal while still preserving maximum strength and stability. Our job was to find an optimization procedure in Grasshopper to generate such a parametric bridge structure. In our proposal, we added joints to each point and connected opposite joints by strings in order to hold the balance of the bridge.
Pseudocode & Grasshopper Definition
The challenge of this project is to sort out points in the list when several compositions in this project have to be connected in order to create a bridge.
Twist
Transform the volume to create a twisted form should consider the connection between the structure frames and passage platform.
