PLANCK vs. PLANK

A German physicist who discovered quantum physics. He developed a simple but revolutionary concept that was to become the foundation of a new way of looking at the world called quantum theory. It is not the possession of truth, but the success which attends the seeking after it, that enriches the seeker and brings happiness to him. Max Planck Quantum theory was a radical view (in 1900) that energy is transmitted not in the form of an unbroken continuum, but in discrete, particle-like units. (each unit is called a quantum). The quantum used in this element will begin as a plank and gain complexity in numbers, the development of knowledge patterns, formulas, and human input.

- this is the most interesting and desired result of plancks panel design process - the following options are currently in development:

options: - develop a locator meta-element - develop additional knowledge pattern - manual post process script functions: - boolean - auto joint creation - avoidance - integrate with other software

SECRETS TO CREATIVITY IN CATIA.

So many variations of the same thing!

EXHIBIT A: form finding with variables

SECRETS TO CREATIVITY IN CATIA.

Illogical logic and bad math makes sense.

Length of B = sin (2) log8 + 758-.7 Height of C = 4 x 9 + 10 - (3.14159) / (72 +87)

EXHIBIT B: form finding with equations

FORM FINDING IN CATIA.

plancks constant = 6.62606957(29)10^34)

Anything can relate to anything.

IF the Midpoint of Spline = distance of the length (line C) * volume(sphere D)^2 + sqrt (user parameter) and the height of cube 8 <= 72, then sphere = red and the ventilation of the room = 989720 ft^3 / .plancks constant

Midpoint of Spline = distance of the length (line C) * volume(sphere D)^2 + sqrt (user parameter) - w ** (log h).
The area of the nearest star.

PROCESS OBSERVATIONS.

CHECKLIST time constraint requirements for buildings prefer fast inputs and outputs using arametrics for only for analysis pressures of the group assignment personality of the architecture students

PROCESS OBSERVATIONS.

TIME & MONEY there are many ways to be creative, but when can you be creative? when is it productive to explore the unknown? how much TIME should be spent on an uncarved path? do we have time to get lost and find our way back? risk of not finding anything useful? freedom and creativity requires time and patience

PROCESS OBSERVATIONS.
3

COLLABORATION what are designers willing to collaborate on? meeting the requirements aesthetics and form? groups lose a common goal outside of performative if looking for creativityless likely to draw from someone else?

PROCESS OBSERVATIONS.
4

QUANTITATIVE and QUALITATIVE in the future is it possible to have qualitative and quantitative together? reformat the element to be 3 separate elements more likely to be used as separate packaging elements

you guys see

im going here all

No ones using my element. Im sad. Im worried no one will use my element.

Its working!

Im SO SICK of

UDF and PowerCopy.

I HATE CATIA TODAY.
working now, but its too late.
I exchanged elements with someone else today.

Guys, I think the TAs are on strike.

Whats wrong with my knowledge pattern?

Anyone else want coffee?

Lets fudge the numbers to make them happy.

I give myself a 10 out of 10 on this assignment.

If I hear INSTANTIATE one more time...

CBIP. The studio where the points dont matter.

I really like your element. I wish our group had time to try it for the strategy.

Looking back at CBIP, we couldnt even OMG collaborate to Im STILL paint a wall. working on my
scorecard.

I sound like a broken record.
