<p><em>AAG is a symposium presenting theoretical works and practices linked to new geometrical developments applicable to architecture.</em></p>
<p><em>This symposium aims to gather the diverse components of contemporary architectural trends which push the building envelope towards free form and respond to the multiple current design challenges with a renewed mathematical rigor.</em></p>
<p><em>It involves architects, engineers, software designers and contractors.</em></p>
<p><em>AAG has become a reference in the professional field and is supported by the direct participation of the most renowned architectural design and engineering offices along with academic laboratories.</em></p>

<p>The video below is an amazing explanation of how they use Rhino and Grasshopper for their sculptures:<br />
<em>&#8220;We use Grasshopper in three fundamental ways: as a “try this” design tool; as a helper for complex, tedious, or repetitive drawing tasks; and as a tool to harvest, organize and manage data (dimensions, positions, etc.). Here’s a short video tour about Grasshopper and how we’ve been using it. Get your geek on…&#8221;</em></p>

<p>This video has been posted by Dave. Here is his a very original description of his profile:<br />
<em>Dave Johnson trained to be an engineer but has made his living in everything but, including movie special effects, juggling, modelmaking, writing and editing, computer programming, dog training, and electronic design. When he&#8217;s not figuring out how to fabricate, mount, and light difficult glass installations, he can be found watching the glassblowers. </em></p>

<p>Le <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomimetisme"><strong>Biomimétisme</strong></a> se definit comme&#8221;une démarche consistant à reproduire artificiellement des propriétés essentielles d&#8217;un ou plusieurs systèmes biologiques&#8221; est nous retrouvons dans cette définition, comme nous l&#8217;avons plusieurs fois souligné, c&#8217;est une des aspirations le plus profondes <a href="http://hdaparis.com" target="_blank">à l&#8217;agence.</a></p>

<p><strong>TWO _ PARAMETRIC LOGO</strong><br />
&#8220;MIT Media Lab&#8217;s Brilliant New Logo Has 40,000 Permutations&#8221;<br />
The basic idea here is that the logo has three intersecting spotlights that can be organized in any of 40,000 shapes and 12 color combinations using a custom algorithm. That’s enough to supply each and every new card-carrying Media Labber with his very own logo for a whopping 25 years.</p>

<p><strong>THREE _ VENETIAN GONDOLA</strong></p>
<p>LORENZ LACHAUER (<a href="http://eat-a-bug.blogspot.com/2011/03/geometry-of-venetian-gondola.html" target="_blank">eat-a-bug.blogspot.com</a> of which we had already talked <a href="http://complexitys.com/english/marten-nettelbladt-and-geometries-of-bending/" target="_blank">here</a>) explains: &#8220;On my last trip to Venice I realized, that the shape of the venetiangondola is not only elegant, but also functional and higly optimized. Developed in the mid-19th-century, the sections of the boat are asymmetric, in order to balance the weigth of the gondoliere, who stands one side of the boat. Referred to the traditional Tramontinshipyard, the geometry of the boat is curved in plan, according to the weight of the oar.&#8221;</p>

<p>Jose, the author of the images and videos above, explains in his<a href="http://www.joesfer.com/?p=46" target="_blank"> blog</a>:<br />
<em>project arose from a conversation with my friend <a title="Gino Dammers" href="http://uk.linkedin.com/in/ginodammers" target="_blank">Gino</a>,  who is currently working on Medical Visualization, about the difficulty  for an artist to create growing structures such as veins -let alone  animate them- and how to make them look organic, and therefore irregular  and adapted to the surrounding they grow upon.<br />
I decided to tackle the problem, and the first approach that came to my mind were <a title="L-Systems" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-system" target="_blank">L-Systems</a>,  which have proven useful for modelling vegetation. There are two  restrictions, however, which discouraged me from taking this approach:</em></p>
<ol>
<li><em>We should be able to bind the growing of the structures to a surface, and therefore the growth needs to be <strong>context aware</strong>.</em></li>
<li><em>We need to be able to <strong>direct the growth</strong> by specifying the areas the structure is allowed to occupy.</em></li>
</ol>
<p><em>Doing some research I ended up taking the approach described in the paper <a title="paper" href="http://algorithmicbotany.org/papers/colonization.egwnp2007.html" target="_blank">Modeling trees with a space colonization algorithm</a>, listed in <a title="algorithmic botany" href="http://algorithmicbotany.org/papers/" target="_blank">Algorithmic Botany</a>, which perfectly suits the aforementioned requirements.</em></p>

<p>Il y a quelques jours, <a href="http://twitter.com/juan_" target="_blank">un ami</a> du collectif <a href="http://basurama.org/english/index.htm" target="_blank">Basurama</a> m&#8217;a montré un dé sphérique (image ci-dessus).<br />
Ce petit objet a de suite attiré mon attention et ça m&#8217;a pris quelques temps pour comprendre pourquoi.</p>
<p>Dans notre article <a href="http://complexitys.com/francais/architecture-hybride-1010-le-role-des-logiciels-de-calcul/" target="_blank">&#8220;Pour une metodologie de la complexité&#8221;</a> nous avions donné une nouvelle definition de la forme en architecture: &#8220;du moment où les forces naturelles entrent en jeu dans la phase de conception et cessent d’être des contraintes limitant le génie de l’architecte-artiste, la forme devient un concept clé et elle se redéfinit comme la <strong>configuration spatiale d’un corps physique qui est responsable des relations que celui-ci entretient avec l’environnemen</strong><strong>t (forces mécaniques, lumières, aspects sensoriels,…)</strong>.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ce qui est attirant dans ces dés à forme spherique est qu&#8217;ils semblent contredire cette definition car leu forme semblerait en désaccord avec leur fonction.  La <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%A9" target="_blank">wikipedia</a> même definit un dé comme &#8220;un objet, généralement de petite taille et de forme cubique, qui permet de tirer aléatoirement un nombre ou un symbole parmi plusieurs possibilités.&#8221;</p>
<p>Au contraire, une sphère est une forme continue, sans arrêtes, et donc destinée à un mouvement continu: quel est le fonctionnement de ces dés sphériques? comment une sphère peut s’arrêter sur une position précise sans laisser aucun doute où ambiguïté? C&#8217;est à dire: comment une forme continue peut nous garantir des résultats discrétisés?</p>

<p><em>.</em></p>
<p>La réponse se trouve à l’intérieure de la sphère, autrement dit dans sa forme invisible, cachée.</p>
<p>En effets, ces dés possèdent une cavité interne octaédrique dans laquelle un poids se déplace et provoque leur arrêt dans une direction parmi six. Ils nécessitent une surface plane et horizontale pour fonctionner correctement.</p>
<p>La page <a href="http://everything2.com/title/spherical+dice" target="_blank">everything2.com</a> explique cela comme il suit:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;These are dice which can be used anywhere a normal six-sided die is required. Each die is a sphere with the numbers 1 to 6 printed evenly on the surface. Inside, the die is hollow and contains a small ball bearing which falls into one of six pits. These pits are aligned with the numbers on the surface, so the weight of the ball bearing will cause one number to remain facing upwards.<br />
Of course, the idea isn&#8217;t limited to only six-sided dice. However, adding more &#8220;sides&#8221; makes construction of such a die much more complex.<br />
Spherical dice have no particular advantage over regular dice, and take forever to stop wobbling.&#8221;</em></p>

<p><em>.</em></p>
<p>En definitive, nous pouvons affirmer que à la base de la conception d&#8217;un dé spherique se trouve une fiction formelle qui produit une certaine curiosité car son fonctionnement est detourné par rapport à celui d&#8217;un dé standard (ci-dessous) à forme polyedrique.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2290" title="BluePlatonicDice" src="http://complexitys.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/BluePlatonicDice-590x116.jpg" alt="BluePlatonicDice" width="590" height="116" /></p>
<p>Cette fiction se base sur un&#8217;illusion perceptive, c&#8217;est à dire sur la confusion entre la forme perçue (externe) et  la forme réelle (externe plus interne).</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>Sur shapeways.com j&#8217;ai découvert tout un monde autour du sujet des dé non-standard qe je vous invite à découvrir <a href="http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=msg&amp;goto=17730&amp;" target="_blank">ici</a>. En particulier, le <a href="http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=msg&amp;goto=17730&amp;" target="_blank">Wizard&#8217;s D6 dice</a> ci-dessous est assez étonnant.</p>

Souvent nous avons eu le plaisir de publier des travaux de nos collègues sur ce blog, et aujourd’hui il s’agit des recherches et de projets de Frédéric Mallet, un jeune architecte parisien qui travaille en tant que collaborateur avec des agences telles qu’ <a href="http://www.arep.fr/#/" target="_blank">Arep</a>, <a href="http://www.groupe6.fr/" target="_blank">Groupe 6</a> (et les <a href="http://www.jeannouvel.com/" target="_blank">Ateliers Jean Nouvel</a> par l’intermédiaire d’Arep Ville). Ses travaux se situent dans le domaines des géométries complexes, du scripting architectural et de l’architecture paramétrique.</p>
<p>Nous présentons ici des extraits de son <a href="http://issuu.com/hda_paris/docs/fred_mallet" target="_blank">portfolio</a>.</p>

<p>LA SAMARITAINE &#8211; ETUDES DE FACADE</p>
<p>Fred explique que “le point de départ de cette étude est un motif géométrique réalisé en pliage illustrant une fleur composée autour d’un pentagone. L’enjeu est alors de créer une composition spatiale autour de ce motif afin de réaliser une peau de verre enveloppant le bâtiment de la Samaritaine.”</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2211" title="samaritaine1" src="http://complexitys.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/samaritaine1-568x800.jpg" alt="samaritaine1" width="568" height="800" /></p>
<p><span id="more-2204"></span>“Cette peau se retourne pour se transformer en auvent à sa base et se soulève à l’angle des rues de la Monnaie et de Rivoli dévoilant ainsi l’entrée principale. La première étape fut de spatialiser ce motif composé de seize pentagones, lui donner un épaisseur afin d’en assurer la rigidité.”</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2212" title="samaritaine2" src="http://complexitys.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/samaritaine2.jpg" alt="samaritaine2" width="590" height="540" /></p>
<p>“La seconde étape fut de répéter et d’assembler ce motif dans une composition globale au moyen de motifs intermédiaires, la principale difficulté résultant du fait que le pentagone est une figure géométrique ne comportant qu’un seul axe de symétrie: des clefs, toutes identiques, permettent alors d’assembler ces motifs. La dernière étape fut de relever et de soulever cette peau en utilisant un maximum de pièces identiques.”</p>

<p>“CIEL POUR UNE VILLE NOUVELLE”</p>
<p>“Afin de gérer l’inclinaison de centaines de milliers de panneaux, l’élaboration d’un script a été nécessaire” raconte Fred. “Ce programme distribue les panneaux un par un, le long des arcs dont la courbure est calculée pour transmettre au mieux les efforts et assurer une finesse structurelle.”</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2207" title="doha_01" src="http://complexitys.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/doha_01.jpg" alt="doha_01" width="590" height="796" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2208" title="doha_02" src="http://complexitys.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/doha_02.jpg" alt="doha_02" width="590" height="555" /></p>
<p>“Au départ le script utilisait une fonction fractale (proche d’une figure de nuages) pour distribuer les panneaux. Par la suite le programme a été amélioré afin de pouvoir utiliser une image bitmap en entrée offrant ainsi la possibilité de “peindre le ciel” en tenant compte des différents éléments programmatiques.</p>

<p>A la suite, une petite bio de Fred Mallet que nous remercions sincèrement pour partager avec nous et avec nos lecteurs ces documents de grand valeur.</p>
<p>Architecte, passionné par la géométrique et la lumière Frédéric Mallet  se diplôme à l’école de Paris Val de Seine en 2007, après un long détour par l’audiovisuel, à travers la conception de décors et l’animation (2D et 3D). Ses collaborations fréquentes sur des projets d’infrastructure, aux formes complexes, l’amènent à approfondir des méthodes de modélisation faisant de plus en plus appel à une géométrie paramétrique et à l’élaboration de scripts. Ainsi l’écriture même du projet peut être affinée, testée dans ses rythmes et ses proportions. Pouvoir alors gérer des centaines de données en choisissant et en ajustant un nombre plus restreint de paramètres, développer de nouvelles formes architecturales en s’affranchissant de leur complexité pour revenir à l’essentiel dans la démarche de conception.</p>
