A virtual model generation based on Grasshopper-Wasp

Digitalization is developing rapidly in the architecture industry, and parametric is regarded as one of the methods to solve the early stage of contemporary architectural design, so it has attracted widespread attention. The language of architectural design under discrete doctrine requires architects to find new parametric logic and discrete elements to think about architectural design. This article attempts to establish the connection between the variable parameters and the spatial structure, and completes the logical definition from the parameterized algorithm, and corresponds to the generation of digital models of different scales. The purpose of this research is to explore the application of the design algorithm in different spatial scales based on the Wasp plug-in of rhino. In this case, six control groups were used to complete the parametric generation practice. First, we use wedge-shaped and inclined nodes(S) to connect the basic structures to build the basic structure and form the basic spatial unit components (M). At the same time, we defined geometric object carriers of different scales and quantified them in order from Details node (S) to component (M), room (L), architecture (XL) and XXL-Field (urban) five scale sizes. Secondly, this practice optimizes the size of the geometric object carrier used to carry the generation algorithm, and then uses the wasp plug-in algorithm in Grasshopper to complete the spatial simulation of the same logical hierarchical growth from small to large scale. Finally, through simulation growth, we got a set of virtual space model constructions composed of components and completed by special algorithms.
