Structural Sketches Talk

I’m going to be giving a talk today entitled Structural Sketches:
From ActiveStatics to StaticsPad at the MIT Building Technology Lecture Series. I’m going to be showing a lot of work, some of it mine, some from others. I want to present a range of design computation modes from algorithmic form generation to systems modeling. The slides and materials can be found here. (It should look decent in Firefox, but I’m pretty sure it will be poorly formatted on Internet Explorer. Not sure about Safari.)

Model Based Design is back online

I am happy to have finally posted the content, both lectures and student work from the classes I taught at Yale in 2004-5. They were apparently popular sites on the Yale Architecture server until they removed them a few years ago. You’ll find a lot of templates there for doing things like particle systems, cellular automata, diffusion limited aggregation, or Braitenberg vehicles in Processing. So now they have a new home: Yale Architecture.

Is this thing on?

Hi. Upfork! is a project tracking site for me, Simon Greenwold. It’s where I intend to finally be publishing my work instead of sitting on it for years at a time.

I’ve done a lot of projects through the years, some at the Media Lab, some in architecture school, some for teaching. A few are ongoing, and I will be sharing status and observations here.

The three most active projects I am working on now outside of work are this site itself, StaticsPad—a structures design and teaching tool for graphic statics, and Particles—a small point-mass physics library for the Processing design language.
