Interactive Parametrics
DESCRIPTION:
Interactive Parametrics was a three-day intensive design and prototyping workshop held in New York City the weekend of February 19-20, 2011.
The paradigm of scripting within ubiquitous modeling platforms such as Rhino or Maya allows users to generate complex form by accessing an underlying geometry engine and performing iterative functions. This paradigm is typically based on run-once execution, making it unsuitable for designing interactive or time-based behaviors.
By implementing workflows that utilize Processing to create real-time software sketches, we can design dynamic systems that can act as standalone tools for parametric design, input mechanisms to feed other platforms, or processors of existing or sensor-based data sets.
Interactive Parametrics was conceived through a collaboration between Studio Mode/modeLab and Marius Watz/evolutionzone with generous support by Makerbot Industries.
As part of a larger online infrastructure, modeLab, the workshop provided participants with continued support and knowledge to draw upon for future learning.
