LO 3: Computational Fabrication

I am looking at a concept model created by Zaha Hadid architects of a building
I think parametric modeling in architectural digital fabrication can create amazing building and structural designs. In the example of the model, I am intrigued by the way the shape moves and contorts as it moves up the building. It would be challenging to hand draw this model and with dFab tools, it is also easy to adjust the algorithm behind it to easily create new shapes. In architecture, the grasshopper software or similar software can be used to develop an algorithm that draws shapes and points in relation to each other so the inputs for each element when changed can easily change the entire model. In this model, the designer plays around with lines and curves and through their creative abilities, they created a design that curves in and out from the center axis of the building.
