dynamically loading external assemblies

Recently, I’ve been interested in the architecture of CAD/BIM/FEA systems capable of dynamically loading external assemblies to allow for third-party plugin development. Found this great article by @RickStrahl explaining how this can be done with just a few lines of code: https://weblog.west-wind.com/posts/2016/Dec/12/Loading-NET-Assemblies-out-of-Seperate-Folders Recommended reading for anyone who’s interested in the mechanics of C# plugin development. The comments are of interest too, where another system called … Continue reading dynamically loading external assemblies

emu is now available on food4rhino!

Kicking off 2019 with a little announcement: I’ve made a public release of the Grasshopper plugin I built for my master’s thesis. The tool is called Emu: Emu is an interactive structural analysis and form-finding tool based on a 6DOF (6 degrees of freedom) formulation of the dynamic relaxation method allowing engineers and designers to run non-linear bi-axial bending and torsion simulations in the parametric … Continue reading emu is now available on food4rhino!

computational design in sweden (reflection from AAG2018)

Random personal reflection from the Advances in Architectural Geometry conference hosted at Chalmers University of Technology last week: For the first time I feel like the Swedish AEC industry starts to understand the true power of  computational design and how it can help solving the major challenges we face in our business. I’ve never before met so many representatives from major AEC firms operating in Sweden/Scandinavia … Continue reading computational design in sweden (reflection from AAG2018)

workshop at advances in architectural geometry 2018

I was invited through CORE studio to co-organize a workshop at the Advances in Architectural Geometry (AAG) conference on the theme form active structures, this year held at Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden. Workshop 1: Form-active structures with Kangaroo/K2Engineering – AAG 2018 The workshop focused on the design and analysis of form-active structures using Kangaroo and K2Engineering. In particular, it aims at investigating the enriched … Continue reading workshop at advances in architectural geometry 2018

new website

I finally got around to migrate the content from my previous website plsndesigntech.com to this wordpress driven page. It feels good not having to worry about the backend and infrastructure of the site anymore. Previously everything was managed using PHP/MySQL/HTML/CSS etc, and I had to manually push new data to the DB everytime I wanted to make an update (there was no CMS whatsoever). Here … Continue reading new website
