Design of Parametric Modeling:: ARCH655 Project 2 Parametric Stadium by A. Rodriguez Overview In Project 2, I explored design and algorithmic solutions through my own design concept rather than selected a design or geometrical/algorithmic exercise. This project's main idea was to create a parametric skin and the main building structure for a stadium or arena. The project utilized a python definition that creates the main feature truss on a design inspired by Calatrava bridges where the structure is supported by suspended elements for a dramatic expression of the architecture. Concept of the Algorithm & Process 2.1 Create the basic organization of the stadium massing using ellipses organized center-oriented and radially. These ellipses established the general scale and size of the contour lines. There are slider numerical inputs to control the proportions, scale, and height. 2.2 Using the Unit Z and move definition, a 3 point arch for the circumferenc...
