The Shed Building

The Shed Building

The Shed’s Bloomberg Building, designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Lead Architect, and Rockwell Group, Collaborating Architect, is an innovative 200,000-square-foot structure that physically transforms to support artists’ most ambitious ideas.

Kinetic Facade Panels

In this grasshopper example file You can design a kinetic facade with a series of vertical panels which close and open on a base surface.

Marsk Tower

Marsk Tower

The 25-meter-high Marsk Tower by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) is topped with a viewing platform where visitors can enjoy uninhibited views of marshlands, Denmark’s popular National Park.

Kinetic Facade

In this grasshopper example file You can design a kinetic facade based on a series of rotating panels. These panels can rotate according to a point attractor or the location of sun (Ladybug Plugin).

The Longhouse

The Longhouse

The longhouse by Mass Timber Design, is a building type common to historic settlements across the world and through history, finding use in the Americas, Asia, and Europe.

deformed pavilion

In this Paracourse lesson we will use the spatial deform component to design a parametric freeform surface pavilion.

Voronoi Growth

In this grasshopper Example file you can create a parametric form filled with 3d voronoi cells. You can use any untrimmed Nurbs surface by using the Stella3d plugin.

The Sound that Light Makes

The Sound that Light Makes

The Sound That Light Makes by Australian artist Alexander Knox forms the exterior screen to the newly developed 300 George Street precinct in Brisbane, Australia.

Wavy Facade

In this grasshopper example file you can use several graph mapper components to model a parametric Wavy Facade .

Corollaria Railing

Corollaria Railing

Corollaria Railing by Jessica Rosenkrantz is a railing that acts as a sculptural element winding through the space. This algorithmically-generated, lasercut steel railing is the largest piece of art we’ve ever made.

Voronoi Table

In this grasshopper example file, you can model a parametric table which is made out of a series of 3D Voronoi cells connected together with lines.

Circle Packing Dome

In this grasshopper example file, you can model a parametric dome with a circle-packing algorithm using Kangaroo 2 plugin.

ArboSkin

ArboSkin

In this project, ITKE designed the freeform facade to demonstrate the structural properties of a new bioplastic developed specially for use in the construction industry.

Rotating Windows

In this grasshopper example file, you can model a series of rotating windows based on Point attractors , Curve attractors and height.

Programmable Auxetics

Programmable Auxetics

These projects were made by deployable structures that are physical mechanisms that can easily transition between two or more geometric configurations.

Parametric Flower Box

In this grasshopper example file, you can create a series of parametric triangular flower boxes based on random triangular cells.

Voronoi Architecture

Voronoi Architecture

These projects made by Voronoi diagram which inspired from nature, is a system that divides the space into sub-spaces in an organic way. The diagram uses points to create cells that surround these points.

Biomimetic Architecture

Biomimetic Architecture

This thesis by Marian Azmy Nessim, s took a new approach in handling the global warming problem by learning from nature or through studying biomimicry and trying to translate it to architectural elements.

Rotating Bricks

Rotating Bricks

In this grasshopper example file You can design a parametric rotating brick wall by using an image sampler component.

toha tower tel aviv

Toha Tower tel aviv

This office tower by British-Israeli designer and architect Ron Arad, has completed in Tel Aviv “inspired by an iceberg” with an angular glass exterior that widens in the middle.

Polar Force Fields

In This grasshopper example file you can simulate a spinning field on a series of random points in a given space using the Nursery`s Polar Field component.

Sinic Pavilion

In this grasshopper Example file you can model a pavilion using a sinic graph and a minimal surface.

Wavy Mesh

In this grasshopper example file, you can model a parametric mesh by creating a series of moving points around a circle.

Aggregated Polygons

In this grasshopper example file, you can genterate a 2D aggregation of polygons and create different parametric forms.

White Tree Montpellier

White Tree Montpellier

This project by Sou Fujimoto architects, Nicolas Laisné, Dimitri Roussel, and OXO architects, was designed for the city of Montpellier’s contest for “Folies architecturales” to add interest and enhance neighborhoods around the Mediterranean city.

Pneumatic Mesh plane

In this grasshopper example file, you can simulate the inflation of a mesh with random anchors by using the Kangaroo 2 plugin.
