This thesis by Patrick Schumacher, presents research in suggestive pointer or shorthand for decisive featuresthat characterize the essential innovation of the work of Zaha Hadid Architecture and indeed parametricism in general.

pinch and spread panel

pinch and spread panel

In this grasshopper example file, you can pinch & spread a series of curves based on random locations. By deforming the curves you can finally model a parametric 2D panel.

Geometric Ornamental Design

This graduation thesis by Craig S. Kaplan, presents research in the area of computer-generated geometric art and ornament. Throughout, It shows how modern mathematics, algorithms, and
Technology can be applied to the study of these ornamental styles.
