  DESCRIPTION OF ARCH655 FINAL PROJECT: the Modeling of a  Randomly Generated Vertical Sculpture The inspiration for this project comes from some vertical public arts (as shown in the picture), and  their modern and abstract appearance can deeply impress visitors. Personally, if I want to create a similar work, it may be difficult to determine the color and shape of each element, so I tried to generate it randomly through scripting. The production of this model mainly relies on grasshopper and python to complete. There are three main steps in the modeling process. 1. Generating the Center Point Group by Scripting In this simple Python script, the first step is to put in some seed.  "__init__" means initialization;  "self" refers to the instance itself that being created; Then, creating the rule of adding points. Also, I need the Range, that is, time. As a result, I can get a randomly generated group of points with regular intervals.  2. Determining the Shape of Each
