Parametric Modelling Process
Design Intent Step 1 My design intent based on the original scheme in the introduction post is to create a parametric stadium which can be adopted for other types of use depending on expected capacity and sports type. I expect that my final product can be used for 1. A local club football pitch 2. A standard football pitch 3. An Olympic Size Stadium These thoughts guided my parametric modelling for its' final use. Step 2 Creating the horizontal spread I created a preliminary sketch of the stadium outline based on the approximate size. A central point for the stadium outline was determined with reference lines. The driving parameter is the corner radius which controls the width and length of the stadium which are set equidistant from the center. Step 3 Creating the Section profile The outline of the stadium section was traced out by importing a jpeg image from the design drawings by the Architects. Each tier is represented by a flight of rows separated ...
