Adaptive Facades

This paper by Amir Tabadkania, Masoud Valinejad Shoubib, Farzaneh Soflaeic, Saeed Banihashemid, concentrates on the smart façade as an adaptive design technique in buildings, which is responsive to both direct environ mental and human inputs; a concept that can be considered for the sustainable future.

Reinforcement Learning

This report by Leon Wietschorke, Yuxi Liu, and Jianpeng Chen, presents a general interface between the architectural design software of Rhino and Grasshopper and the scripting environment to run RL algorithms.

Twisted Tower

In this grasshopper example file you can create a parametric twisting tower by rotating a series of building blocks around the Z axis.

3D Tiling Tesselation

Gaze Data

This thesis by Mandana Sarey Khanie, Susanne V. Kjærgaard, Mia H. K. Johnsen, Kristoffer Negendahl, Jan Wienold, and Maryline Andersen, introduced Gaze Visualizer tool. The Gaze Visualizer tool is an implementation of eyetracking (gaze) data and a preliminary gaze responsive light driven (GRL) model, which enables to visualize gaze behavior in a 3D space, in Grasshopper3D.

Nursery Fields

Generative Design

This thesis by Loutfouz Zaman, Wolfgang Stuerzlinger, Christian Neugebauer, Robert Woodbury, Maher Elkhaldi, Naghmi Shireen, and Michael Terry, presents GEM-NI – a graph-based generative-design tool that supports parallel exploration of alternative designs.

BUILDING SKINS

This study by Yomna Saad ElGhazi, focuses on the design of the building membrane where technology and performance are addressed through a broader cultural position, establishing a continual dialogue between the surface, its function and its larger human context.

Pixelate Pattern

In this grasshopper example file you can create a pixelate pattern by removing random vertices and using the pufferfish plugin

Deformed Voronoi

In this grasshopper example file you can model a Deformed Voronoi pattern on a catenary surface.

Parametric Architecture in the Urban Space

The paper by Krystyna Januszkiewicz and Karol G. Kowalski, deals with the parametric architecture which is trying to introduce a new spatial language in the context for urban tissue that correspond to the artistic consciousness and the attitude of information and digital technologies era.

Polyline Attractor

In this grasshopper example file you can use the “Lorenz Attractor” component from the Chimpanzee`s plugin as a base for modeling a Polyline attractor.

Parametric architecture: the second international style

This paper by T Al-Azzawi and Z Al-Majidi, presents a set of global experiences illustrating the use of digital design technologies in different stages of production, highlighting the final characteristics of the products and what they have in common.

Random Wave Facade

In this grasshopper example file You can model a parametric random wave-like facade by using the graph mapper component.

Sine Motion Curve

In this grasshopper example file you can model a parametric curve by using a timer and a sine function.

Collaborative Environment for Parametric Design

This paper by Verina Cristie, Nazim Ibrahim, and Sam Conrad Joyce, looks at the use of GHShot versioning tool developed by the authors (Cristie & Joyce, 2018; 2019) used to capture and track changes and progression of parametric models to understand early-stage design exploration and collaboration empirically.

Dendro Table

In this grasshopper example file you can create a parametric table by using the Dendro plugin and by voxelizing a series of parametric lines.

3D Wall Pattern

In this grasshopper example file you can model a 3d parametric wall pattern without using any plugins.

Parametric Design of steel structures

This paper by Rayaan Ajouz, discusses how using Grasshopper as a parametric design tool can be applied by structural engineers to improve well-informed decision making, when designing a steel structure.

Optimizing Creatively in Multi-Objective Optimization

This thesis by Yassin Salah El-Din Ashour, presents a workflow called the ‘creative optimization workflow’ using a Multi-Objective Optimization (MOO) engine called Octopus that runs within Grasshopper3D, a parametric modeling tool, and multiple simulation software.

Wavy Facade Graph Mapper

In this Paracourse Lesson you will learn how to model a parametric wavy facade by using the graph mapper component and also shifting the pattern for each level.
