A PROGRAM FOR THE AUTOMATIC COMPUTING OF SOLAR GAIN OF A PARALLELEPIPED VOLUME CONSIDERING THE SHADOWS CAST ON IT BY ANY SYSTEM OF SURROUNDING PARALL…
1985
A program is given, that computes solar gain on a parallelepiped volume taking in to consideration the shadows cast by any system of surrounding parallelepiped. It contains an algorithm for the quick discarding of non shadowing volumes, for the construction of the union polygon, without repetition of overlapping shadows, and for the intersection polygon of formerly found union polygon with the shadowed faces.
Which new semantic for new shapes?
2006
There are two innovations which have drastically changed the building process: the operational continuity of the design and construction phases, and the software allowing not only the representation but also the autonomous creation of complex shapes never before thought of just because they could not be represented. This last innovation gave rise to a new design paradigm whose tools, according to their supporters, are the most advanced fields of mathematics and information science. Some ways of using these new possibilities gave rise to a radical, problematic, change in the relationship net between the designer’s intentions, the shapes through which they express them (invented or self-gener…
