Exagonal flat panels and Equalization of edges

A trial on the razionalization of double curved surface with Kangaroo. The first exercize was done in order to have an exagonal planar tesselation, the second is an attempt to have the same lenght of the segments in each triangle that compose the overall mesh.

Davide del Giudice///

Davide del Giudice is an OAT registred architect who works in computational design field and complex geometries and currently works as architect at Zaha Hadid Architects.

He is online since 2005, after visiting Sci_arc in Los Angeles, with his blog MadeInCalifornia: an archive of experiments on parametric systems and scripting applied to contemporary architecture.

Co-founder of Co-de-iT ( Computational Design Italy) with Andrea Graziano & Alessio Erioli.

DDG collaborates with CityVision Magazine as interviewer for the computational design section.

Curator of aast09///advanced architecture Settimo Tokyo, Generative Architecture events in Settimo and Tokyo and a series of international parametric workshops with Andrea Graziano and CASARTARC.

DDG collaborates with Giorgio del Giudice, a 3D artist whom works across 3D modeling, rapid prototyping and interaction design.

Co-founder of A + Surface, Students Association of Polytechnic of Turin, organizing generative architecture workshops trough virtual/real models.

DDG is the winner of Guido Nardi 08, "Innovative technologies and complex shapes" prize and finalist by the International Archiprix CNAPPC under the XXIII UIA World Congress held in Turin with his thesis TMD_tsunami memorial design competition, network as design tools.

DDG graduated cum laude in architecture at the Polytechnic University of Turin, with a thesis project of memorial park and museum of Tsunami in Khao-Lak, Thailandia: a continuous refinement as design experiments by the method of form finding and investigating the fields of scripting

tools and parametric application as instruments of design.

DDG collaborated with Micha de Haas Architecture Bureau in Amsterdam, studio Kuadra in Cuneo, CLO architetti in Rome, Studio Comoglio Architetti, Giugiaro Architettura, Studio Griffa and ToDo in Turin.

Attends Workshop with Mathias Sauerbruch ( Sauerbruch & Hutton), Erich Schoenenberger (SU11, Ferda Kolatan & Erich Schoenenberger) and Mario Cucinella ( MCArchitects).

Visiting student at Sci_Arc in Los Angeles and Architectural Association in London.

Visiting student at studio Renzo Piano Building Workshop in Paris, studio Fuksas architects in Rome, studio Morphosis in Los Angeles and studio Zaha Hadid Architects in London.

Project exhibition in Biennale of Venice NEXT, METAMORPH, St.Petersburg, Moscow, and SCI_ARC in Los Angeles.

He was an assistant tutor at the International Summer School "Prototyping the City", in the Turin World Design Capital event with Architectural Association ( Ecologic Studio) and Columbia GSAPP (Avery Digital Fabrication Laboratory) tutors .

Technical tutor at the design studio LPAIII Skyscraper prof. R.Apostolo from 2004 to 2007 and Architectural Urban Composition CAU08 Prof. Cesare Griffa from 2008.

He lives in Rome and Ivrea.

MadeInCalifornia///CO.DE.

MadeInCalifornia is a [CO]mputational [DE]sign blog online since Sept 2005 (definition by Generator.x).

The intent of this blog is to archive and spread experiments in computational design and parametric systems.

CO.DE. is a personal design research where the author shares his solutions and research projects, realized by advanced computational tools like scripting and parametrics models.

These projects are different to conventional approach of design where is a singular design solution, these projects are designed by parametric systems that produce a reactive intelligence and multiple iterative results responding to the domain of input parameters. These systems are been used by a bottom-up approach to respond qualities of emergence and continuous differentation with adaptive variations to urban and architectural environments.
