The Graz Art Museum is designed by London based architecture Peter Cook and Colin Fournier. The aesthetics of the building follow the peculiar architectural school known as “blob architecture” or “blobitecture”, based on organic shapes, blobitecture is expressed through unique buildings that resemble the shape of protozoa organisms such as the amoeba.
This paper by Seyed Morteza Hosseini, Masi Mohammadi, Torsten Schroder, Olivia Guerra-Santin , explores for the first time, the possibility of coupling a kinetic façade with colored glasses to improve the daylight performance. This research builds on a combination of relevant literature and parametric simulation to investigate the development of integration of colored glass from Orosi with interactive kinetic façades, triggered by sun timing and occupants’ positions.

This paper by A. Heidari, S. Sahebzadeh, M. Sadeghfar, B. Erfanian Taghvaei, seeks to illustrate the evolution history of Parametric Architecture and describe the reasons why parametric architecture, in its second phase of evolution, called “Parametricism 2.0”, is showing promising abilities in solving more and more intricate socio-environmental problems.
In this Grasshopper example file You can use the Physarealm plugin to create a growing fractal-based pattern on a base surface.
This article by Gary P. T. Choi, Levi H. Dudte, and L. Mahadevan, proposes a condition for producing kirigami patterns and mechanisms which are reconfigurable and rigid deployable allowing us to connect the compact states via a zero-energy family of deployed states.
The article by Aurel von Richthofen, Katja Knecht, Yufan Miao, and Reinhard König, proposes a method for teaching advanced urban design to working professionals in Singapore. The article aims to expand the discourse on parametric urban design education by introducing ‘Urban Elements’ as conceptual urban design instruments with an inherent rule based logic, which can help to bridge gaps in teaching parametric urban design thinking.
In this grasshopper example file you can create a parametric vault by using the kangaroo2 plugin.
This paper by Lotte Aldinger, Georgia Margariti, Axel Körner, Seiichi Suzuki, Jan Knippers, presents a design to fabrication framework for the mold-less construction of double curved composite lattice surfaces based on inherent material behavior.
In this grasshopper example file you can create a diamond paneling pattern.
In this paper byAbel Groenewolt, Tobias Schwinn, Long Nguyen, and Achim Menges, they focus on subsequent developments in our research on agent-based modeling and present a framework for agent-based architectural design and planning that integrates a large range of planning aspects (such as structural analysis and life cycle analysis, as well as prefabrication planning).
