Because I've so far just been focusing on the information available in papers and from other information sources, I have not been testing my possible skills in parametric programs. This week my first tries ended at the beginning. I wished to use Grasshopper, the plug-in for Rhino. But the version of Rhino on my computer doesn’t support the plug-in and the computers on the TU don’t have the plug-in installed. This means I have to wait for my new version of Rhino to arrive (which shouldn’t take to long but will take more than a few days).
For the rest of this week I will focus on the Thermal model in Trisco and a non-parametric model in Maya to test the Lighting.

Plan for wk 4
On Monday of Week 4 we got individual response from all the reachers, which was very constructive. Here is a quick summary of the advices given:
- Stop looking for papers for the time being and focus on the material you have
- Try and make a parametric model for part of your design; for example a model that shows the effect of the amounth of horizontal elements in a frame on lighting
Example for a parametric model - Figure out the physical properties of a composite frame
For the long term I will look at the mechanical properties of composite frames and try to make an improved model, using parametric modeling
