Parametric Patterns
Following Wassim Jabi (2013)* it can be said there is a collection of basic formal parametric patterns from which many designs can be evoloved. This seems to be a good tool to inteprete the multiplicity of existing designs, as well as a good design tool.
Jabi's scripts are presented in 3ds-Max scripting language (+ some of them in Processing). Slowly but surely i will try to study these patterns and generate Grasshopper, Processing and Python scripts for them to be used in Rhinoceros 5.
Jabi's patterns are the following:
- Controller
- Force Field
- Repetition
- Tiling
- Recursion
- (Srf) Subdivision
- Packing
- Weaving
- Branching
Benjamin Aranda and Chris Lasch, some time earlier, and quoted by Jabi, proposed another collection of formal parametric patterns, derived from their own work whic are as follows:
