Modelling droneport in grasshopper

[Fatemeh_Barati]

We started to model Droneport (Norman Foster) in Grasshopper but we had a problem in materializing it.
We want to use bricks as the main material and cover it with cement but we couldn’t find the right way to place the bricks properly on this surface and control those bricks.
It would be nice if anyone could help us through this process and writing scripts.

There are other threads on a very similar project, perhaps the same? But clearly bricks are not the best choice for making shapes like these.

Dividing mesh with identical bricks

I wanted to make a quick attempt … [dome] [2023-12-01 22_01_31-Window] [2023-12-01 22_04_51-Window] Droneport Pavilion by maje.gh (78.6 KB) All bricks can be cut from the same initial size. Most of the bricks are uncut. This script is not really reliable, at some value it fails. Mortar alignment is not checked. … not really what I’ve done here… but there is a c# script to offset multiple curves in a brep… works but only used for this specific case.
