Grasshopper

Task 2

• Program a sphere that can move along an arc representing the sun’s path. Design the system so that you may specify the azimuth (sphere’s location along the arc’s length) and the altitude (arc’s rotation about the Y-axis). 



• Program a façade that responds to the shadows cast on it by the sphere, so that wherever there’s a shadow, there’s an opening. Try using the “exposure” component and assign a vector between the sphere and the façade.



• Reprogram the façade so that wherever there’s a shadow, there is an opening.












• Program a cube that can move along a circle centered on the origin. Design the system so that you may modify the cube’s location using a control knob. 





• Program a façade that responds to the cube (“attractor”), so that when the attractor is near, there are more openings.



• Reprogram your façade, so that when the attractor is near, there are fewer openings. 
Complete these Grasshopper tasks by 3pm.
