Paneling Fabrication
In this grasshopper example file you can convert a Nurbs surface to triangular panels and then use some connectors for fabrication.
Generative Design
This paper by Marco Hemmerling, discusses a case study for a seating element that takes into account human factors as well as aspects of structural performance, material properties and production parameters within an integrative design approach.
Bionic Vault Structures
This video is about Bionic Vault Structures called Powerstruct. These hexagonal structures, which is found naturally in turtles or honeycombs, have become an integral part of industrial processes.
Kangaroo Chair
In this grasshopper example file You can design a parametric chair by using the Kangaroo 2 plugin and the Sphere Collide component.
PowerStruct (Vault Structure)
Dr. Mirtsch Wölbstrukturierung GmbH develops and produces lightweight structures of thin-walled materials for innovative applications. The patented vault-structuring technique is based on an unique principle of bionic self-organization and is therefore particularly gentle to materials and surfaces.
Kangaroo Lamp
In this Grasshopper example file you can use the kangaroo colliders component to deform a mesh as a parametric Lamp.
Geometric Pattern
This paper by Mostafa Zahri present a new model for simulating an interesting class of Islamic design. Based on periodic sequences on the one-dimensional manifolds, and from emerging numbers, we construct closed graphs with edges on the unit circle.
Flexible Textile
This Paper by Mark Beecroft of the Manchester Metropolitan University School of Art, has been exploring the potential of 3D printing in industrial knitting.
Minimal Surface Pattern
In this Grasshopper example file you can model a generative 3d pattern using the Minimal surface plugin and defining the base curves.
Brick Attractor
In this grasshopper example file You can design a parametric brick wall and rotate the bricks based on their distance from point attractor
Folded Plate Principles
This Paper by Dr.-Ing Martin TRAUTZ presents a method of developing the folding plate principles on spatial structures also with irregular and freeform geometries.
Contour facade
In this grasshopper example file you can generate a parametric facade by defining a series of parameters for the rotation of the windows.
Staggered Cubes
n this grasshopper example you can use the Anemone Plugin to create a polygonal pattern by moving each vertices.
Design and Nature
This paper was edited by Berfu Ayhan, is about the use of crystal metaphor traces, a discontinuous emergence at the intersections between humanity- natural history and architectural thought, where nature has been accepted to develop human experience in creating arts.
Tensile Structure
In this grasshopper example file you can create a tensile structure based on polygon by using the kangaroo2 plugin.
Triangular Weave Pattern
In this grasshopper example file you can use the Anemone Plugin to create a parametric triangular weave pattern.
Computation and Performance
This paper was edited by Rudi Stouffs and Sevil Sariyildiz, aims to investigate the use of building performance simulation tools as a method of informing the design decision of NZEBs.
Proximity Chair
In this grasshopper example file You can Design a parametric chair based on a series of random points and use the proximity component to model the form.
Digital Fabricators
This exhibition was curated by Michael Stacey, explores the relationship between architecture, manufacturing techniques and digital technology.
Table Topology Optimization
In this grasshopper Example file you can use the Topos Plugin to optimize a table based on Topology Optimization. First you have to define the constraints and alos the surface you want to reach.
Kangaroo Structure
In this grasshopper example file you can model different structures by using the kangaroo plugin and defining a relaxing Mesh.
Interactive Architecture
This paper by Kas Oosterhuis, is about a pavilion for the world horticultural exhibition Floriade 2002 designed by ONL. The pavilion is a spaceship, a closed autonomous object that landed on the Floriade. Architecturally, there is no distinguishable difference between wall, floor or ceiling.
Digital Architecture
This essay by Patrik Schumacher, refers to the use of computational design processes and their manifest effect on the architectural outcome, rendered or built.
Concrete Planter
In this Beginner Rhino Grasshopper Tutorial we are going to model a polygonal concrete Planter from scratch and then use the Pufferfish plugin to give it a thickness.
Digital Materiality
This essay by Nikolas Patsavos and Yannis Zavoleas, present working collaboratively on the role and nature of architecture theory in the discipline of architecture, gathered in Chania in the summer of 2010, in order to focus on the collateral relations between digital/material and depth/surface.
Parametric Brick Facade
In this grasshopper example file You can Design a parametric brick wall by defining a series of point attractors.
Erwin Hauer 3d pattern
In this grasshopper Example file you can create a 3d Erwin Haeur pattern on any Nurbs surfaces. The algorithm will create seamless patterns.
The New Structuralism
This article that guest-edited by Rivka Oxman and Robert Oxman, announces a new order in design and construction.
Slime Tower
In this Grasshopper example file you can use Physarealm plugin which simulates a slime mold’s growth
to generate different tower forms and shapes.
Architecture Research
This article by Ajla Aksamija, John Haymaker and Abbas Aminmansour, explores interdisciplinary approaches that address advanced materials, building technologies, environmental and energy concerns, computational design, automation in construction and design delivery methods.
