Agent-based design for Grasshopper.
Braitenberg Skin

For an architectural roof skin project the goal was to expose more of glazing under a solar panel in areas where there was less sunlight to collect. A braitenberg vehicle simulation seems appropriate as we can steer them away from areas of higher solar exposure by having the sensors read in a bitmap of solar..

Rainflow Structure

Used the Surface Flow force to calculate the paths of rain particles over a surface and then determined which panels received the most rain flow over them. Used the rainflow density analysis to create more emittion points on panels with greater rain flow and then used Cohesion and Arrive forces to create a branching structure.
