Complexity of Timber Gridshells

This research by Philippe Charest, André Potvin, Claude Demers, and Sylvain Ménard develops an analytical exercise that identifies achievable levels of timber gridshell complexity aiming to generate recommendations to design more accessible constructive systems.

Water Flow Simulation

In this grasshopper example file, you can simulate a series of water flow path curves by using the Anemone and Dendro plugins.

Architecture, Design and Conservation

The thesis by Paul Poinet, examines the interdisciplinary concept of Multi‑Scalar Modelling through the scope of the AEC domain’s requirements to improve the existing design workϐlows in industry.

Parametric Wave Facade

In this Grasshopper example file by using the Pufferfish plugin you can design a parametric facade based on a sine wave.

Kangaroo Pavilion

In this grasshopper example file, you can model a freeform pavilion by using the kangaroo2 solver combined with the stripper plugin.

Architectural Narratives

This research by Adie Awad Fareez Alnobani, explores possible mediating languages that are capable of embodying traces of generative behavior resulting in geometries that are adaptable to context and design decisions.

Voronoi Facade

In this grasshopper example file you can design a parametric Voronoi facade and then convert a series of selected cells into windows.

Planarize Ngons Edges

In this grasshopper example file, you can create a mesh and then Remesh it By using the ngon plugin and finally. Planarize the connections.

Ngon Box Joint

In this grasshopper example file, you can design a parametric pavilion by using the Ngon plugin and then create box joints for each panel.

Hybrid Embroidery

This research by Yi-chin Lee, Daniel Cardoso Llach,Joshua Bard, and Eunsu Kang, presents Hybrid Embroidery, a system for interactive fabrication that leverages the potential of computation to broaden the possibilities of the embroidery craft.

Ngon 3D Joints

In this grasshopper example file, you can design a parametric shell using the ngon plugin and then design 3D connections for the vertices.

Dendro Facade

In this grasshopper example file, you can create a parametric facade by Extruding and Rotating a series of cubes.

Kangaroo Tensile Structure

In this grasshopper example file you can design a parametric tensile structure by using the Kangaroo plugin and by creating a mesh and then moving the points.

Twin Tower

In this grasshopper example file, you can model a parametric twin tower using native grasshopper components.

geodesic co-ordinates

In this thesis, we propose a strategy for generating patterns for brick laying on compression free-form shells. The strategy is based on geodesic coordinates which guarantees an equal length between its coordinates curves, which for brickwork means an equal spacing between the bed joints.

Quelea Installation

In this grasshopper example file, you can model a Agent-based installation using the Quelea plugin and then voxelize the results using the Dendro plugin.

Curved Support Structure

This paper aims for strained gridshells built entirely from straight or circular lamellas of the same radius and with orthogonal nodes.

Helicoid Waffle

In this grasshopper example file, you can model a parametric pavilion based on the mathematical expression of a helicoid surface, using native grasshopper components.

Two-Layer linkage

In this grasshopper example, you can create series of two-layer linkage mechanisms using the Linketix plugin.

Voronoi Tower

In this Grasshopper example file you can use the Parakeet plugin to model a parametric Voronoi-based tower.

Parametric Pavilion

In this grasshopper example file, you can model a parametric pavilion by combining a series of arcs with a nurbs curve.
