In this 4-Hour Live Academy Advanced Class, Juney will go over RhinoVAULT 2, the proprietary software developed by Block Research Group in ETH Zurich for shell structure form-finding on Rhinoceros.
RhinoVAULT 2 (RV2) is an open-source research and development platform for funicular form-finding built with COMPAS, a Python-based framework for computational research and collaboration in Architecture, Engineering, and Digital Fabrication.
Using reciprocal diagrams, RV2 provides an intuitive, fast funicular form-finding method, adopting the same advantages of techniques such as Graphic Statics, but offering a viable extension to three-dimensional problems.
Our goal is to share a transparent set up to let you not only create beautiful shapes but also to give you an understanding of the underlying structural principles.
