Hi all, I am working on a pavilion where I am planning on using packed tubes/ pipes as the component to build it.
The idea is that the pavilion emits a sound when it is windy, as the wind will pass through / over the pipes but that the pipes also change their opening size in order to control the light coming in. I have generated a surface that is somewhat based on the wind conditions http://www.adelzakout.com/pav.jpg and now want to generate a pattern of circles on that surface that i can then extrude to form pipes. I have been able to somewhat achieve a packed surface by using the manual Apply UV Curves function in Rhino http://www.adelzakout.com/uv.jpg but the problem here is that it's a manual process and thus the internal pipe radii cannot be responsive to say the sun conditions and also that there is a lot of deformation within the pattern. The problem is that I want these circles to be packed and not deformed into ellipses and I'm having trouble getting around the logic on how I may do it parametrically within grasshopper- any help would be appreciated! Thanks! Adel
