Week 6 - Complex Geometry 124b 2014 Summer
Course	124b
Date	2014/07/30
Learning Objectives	This week we will continue working on the manipulation of lists and trees, an with an emphasis on manipulating matrixes. We will also go over some extra tools not yet covered that facilitate modeling complex form.
Agenda	Review: lists vs trees Exercise: Make a web Lecture: Complex Geometry Exercise: Paneling systems - testing for planarity Linking it all together

Paneling Systems

Linking it all together

Assignment

As a group, choose a division of labor for the final project submission (massing,structure, skin) based on your case study building. For next week,you should each begin working on your respective piece of the design. Keep in mind, your grasshopper script should be well structured, clearly labeled and grouped. You will each be handing your piece of the script off to the other members of your team to use.

Please submit a working Grasshopper file (.gh or .ghx) to dropbox by next Monday at midnight. We will be working on these in class next week.
