These components can be applied both after tilings and/or Genotypes. These methods, called 'modification methods' multiply the complexity and variety of patterns.
For more advanced users, there are extra components that can be used after each step. which is to select a tiling and then select a Pattern Generation method of Genotype. Thus far, we have covered the basic principles of working with Parakeet3D. Simply input a normalized (between 0-1) number for each cell and you will get extraordinary results.įigure 3: Parquet Deformation generation by a continuous change in Genotypes inputs In other words, each method has been simplified in terms of the required data so that it can be easily used to produce heterogeneous variations. One of the key features of Parakeet is how the user interacts with each method. The majority of them are compatible with all possible tilings and even with irregular arbitrarily closed curves. These methods are listed under the category with the same name. Secondly, and finally, we will select a method by which a final network will be generated on the grid. Escher category, commonly known as "Deformation Parquets" and which may be used as a base grid. c) Pattern generation methods (Genotypes)Īlso included in this category are parts from the M.C. a) Tilings (regular tilings, semi-regular tilings, k-uniform tilings and a number of non-Euclidean tilings like hyperbolic or Poincare disk) b) Modification methods.
This segment covers regular tilings, semi-regular tilings, k-uniform tilings and a number of non-Euclidean tilings like hyperbolic or Poincare disk.įigure 1: Basic concepts and methods for geometric pattern generation using Parakeet3D. They have been designed with similar inputs as Grasshoppers native grids for designers' convenience. The tiling options for the base are listed under the “tilings” category. It's as simple as selecting a tile (grid), then selecting the method you want to use for pattern generation on that grid. This approach enables the designer to generate, apply and analyze patterns not only for ornamental designs but also for modern architectural purposes such as thin shells, free-form surfaces, and performative envelopes.ĭesigning with Parakeet is simple and straightforward. This research aims to decode or approximate the generation process behind some of the old and authentic patterns in an algorithmic syntax. These all together formed the idea behind Parakeet3D. It is the logic behind these morphological processes that is missing. Barring a few exceptions, what has been gathered today are mere morphs and shapes without associated data or algorithms. We have limited data on the progression of these patterns today. For most geometrical patterns, what's being studied is simply the final outcome of the generation process. Parakeet aims to take a comprehensive look at several aspects of this process.Ī notable gap exists in studying geometrical patterns.
Parakeet3D is a collection of digital tools that facilitate the generation of geometric and natural patterns.īy integrating with Grasshopper, it expands the morphological repository for Patterns and Networks, allowing designers to go beyond old shapes and push the old boundaries to comply with modern design requirements. Furthermore, since they have procedural generation methods, where each step is based on the previous one, they are tightly compatible with parametric modeling. Geometrical shapes and patterns are algorithmic in nature due to their discrete mathematics and geometric definitions. Among the many possibilities, the morphological and form-generating methods make for some very interesting subjects. The tools can enhance many aspects of a project, from the most trivial and laborious process of document generation to the most complex decision-making process. Through the algorithmic logic embedded in these tools, the design pipeline is redefined.
Today, computational tools are an integral part of our design process.
