The main contents of this paper are the parametric design and its applications in industrial design, taking the ergonomic chair as the main design research carrier, conducting the experimental study, and explored the parametric industrial product design procedures and methods based on personalized design notion of “Form follows behaviors”.
Trapezoid 3D Pattern
In this grasshopper example file you can stellate a series of arrayed trapezoids to create differnet 3d parametric patterns.
Matrix Architecture
This endeavor demands a closer look at the formal interplay between code and context. Biology provides useful systems-based models for architects to study to understand how context specifies form, function, and structure. While the end goals may differ in science and architecture, there is a driving necessity in both disciplines to spatialize, model, and fabricate complex, emergent, and self-organized systems.
Rheotomic Surfaces
The concept Rheotomic surface’s was developed by Daniel Piker and involves the mathematical generation of ‘walkable’ interconnected surfaces. With ‘Rheo’ from the Greek for flow and ‘Tomos’ meaning cut or section these surfaces make an equivalence between the geometry of the helicoid surface ad the vortex in Laplace’s equation.
3D Voronoi Partition
In this Grasshopper example file you can create a 3D Voronoi Partition Pattern by using the Fattener plugin to give it some thickness.
Scherk’s Minimal Surface
This article describes a minimal surface which is a surface that locally minimizes its area (or having a mean curvature of zero). The classical minimal surfaces of H.F. Scherk were initially an attempt to solve Gergonne’s problem, a boundary value problem in the cube.
Bezier Span Facade
In this grasshopper example file You can design a parametric facade by using a Bezier Span curve.
Ceiling Lamp Particles
In this Grasshopper example file you can use the Culebra plugin to simulate the flocking behaviour of a series of agents and then use them to create a ceiling lamp .

The Yorkshire Diamond has a very particular structure with inflatable tubes forming a diamond-lattice structure, forming a box with an excavated interior, which allows for different configurations. This project is running up for the Yorkshire Renaissance Pavilion competition.
Hexagonal Dendro Pattern
In this grasshopper example file you can create a hexagonal paneling pattern and combine it with the Dendro plugin.
Twisting Stacked Boxes
In this grasshopper example file you can design a series of stacked boxes twisting in the Z axis.
Parametric WeavePaneling
In this grasshopper example file you can design a parametric diamond paneling pattern which you can open or close it.
Giant spider Web
Artist collective Numen creates giant web installations from tape or string that are strung up in museums around the world for visitors to interact with.
Lumen
This paper by Jenny E.Sabin, Dillon Prager, Clayton Binkley, Kristan Strobel, Jingyang (Leo) Liu, documents the computational design methods, digital fabrication strategies, and generative design process for Lumen, winner of MoMA & MoMA PS1’s 2017 Young Architects Program.
ICD Aggregate Pavilion
The ICD Aggregate Pavilion 2018 presents the latest results of 10 years of research into designed granular materials for architecture. It constitutes the first fully enclosed architectural space entirely constructed from designed granules, which lie only in loose frictional contact.
3D Hexagonal Pattern
In this grasshopper example file You can create a parametric 3d hexagonal pattern by defining a point attractor.
Murmuration Installation
Murmuration project is the 2350 square-foot mesh canopy responds to Atlanta’s reputation as the ‘city in a forest’ and reacts to its relationship with the natural world. The sculptural structure, which includes bird feeding stations and perches, also reflects upon the loss of billions of birds in recent decades.
Curved Paneling
In this grasshopper example file you can generste a parametric panel pattern by defining a curve.
Polish Pavilion
The Polish Pavilion for Expo 2020 Dubai is a nod to the country’s natural landscapes representing an essential part of Polish identity. Through a modular structure enveloped by a kinetic sculpture resembling a flock of birds, the project references the idea of mobility while showcasing the natural connection established by bird migration between Poland and UAE.
Tensile Pattern
In this Grasshopper example file you can use the Kangaroo 2 plugin to create a parametric tensile pattern.
Bio-Integrative Structure
Responding to increasing urgencies of material efficiency and environmental sensibility, this project strives to provide for designers a toolset for environmentally responsive, case-specific design, characterized by the embedded control qualities derived from the bone and its adaptability to specific loading conditions.
Twisted Surface Pattern
In this Grasshopper example file You can use the native Grasshopper components to generate a series of Spirals and use the lunchbox plugin for the final pattern.
Tensile Structures
The tensile structures are the solution to cover large areas of complex shape by minimizing the materials used. In tensile structures, materials are used efficiently. Thanks to specific supports, on existing buildings or through cable-stayed poles, it is possible to tension a membrane which, due to the “double curved” shape, will support external loads such as wind and snow and allows to cover large spans at very competitive price compared to standard building technology, an iconic aesthetic result and a reduced environmental impact.
Rotating Stair Slabs
In this grasshopper example file you can create a twisted stair by defining a series of rotating slabs.
Catenary Compression
Catenary Compression’ is a research project with light block construction that conventionally operates in compression. The design team set out to build a structural catenary relieving the ground from any physical contact.
Curve Pattern Array
In this grasshopper example file you can create a pattern by arraying a series of curves inside a rectangle.
