Spin Force On Conoid Surface
In this grasshopper example file, you can simulate a spin force on a conoid surface.
Robotic Fabrication
This thesis by Augusto Gandia, investigates computational design methods to tackle two of the most relevant challenges of robotically assembling spatial structures, which include the generation of collision-free robot paths and the handling of tolerance build-up.
Arcs on Curve
In this Grasshopper Player command, you can distribute a series of arcs on a parametric pipe.
You can control the radii of the start, end, and middle of the pipe. the number of arcs and the radius of the arcs can also be controlled.
Biomimicry in Architecture
This thesis by Satu Niemi, provides one definition and interpretation of biomimicry and a review on how biomimicry could be used in architecture. This is done through a literary study and the analysis of chosen case examples.
Voronoi Panels

Random Planes Intersections
In this grasshopper example file, you can model a parametric mesh from the intersection of a box with random planes.
Rain Water Catcher
The “Rain Water Catcher,” by Nuru Karim, Nudes, a design proposal for an iconic tower in San Jose aims to address the global impact of climate change by advocating the need for water conservation towards the reduction of carbon footprint.
Edge of Chaos
This paper by Ruairi Glynn, Vasilija Abramovic and Johannes T. B. Overvelde, presents a project intended to make the complex “Edge of Chaos” theory tangible through an interactive installation based on metamaterial research which demonstrates emergent behavior using Cellular Automata.
Random Anchors
In this grasshopper example file, by using the kangaroo2 plugin, you can simulate random anchors in random positions on a sphere mesh.
Circular Emitters
In this grasshopper example file you can create parametric surfaces from intersecting circles.
Dynamic Wall
The technology of the dynamic/dancing wall is presented as an installation and was first shown at the BIF architectural festival in Moscow. The architects faced the task of tying together the theme of the Theater year in the Russian Federation and the theme of Love.
Programmable Folding
The aim of this thesis by Annie Locke Scherer, is to create parametrically-derived folding patterns that approximate irregular, doubly-curved surfaces when assembled. This thesis investigates the relatively unexplored world of origami: kirigami.
Elliptical Growth
In this python script you can create a parametric 2D elliptical pattern in grasshopper.
3D Delaunay Expansion
In this grasshopper example file you can create a parametric 3D delaunay mesh from random points.
Timescapes Pavilion
Timescapes by AIRLAB, is a 3D printed pavilion that commemorates the 10th Anniversary of the Singapore University of Technology and Design. The form of the capsule represents the cyclical nature of time: a periodic surface peels from the ground.
Gyroid Mullion
The thesis explores various aspects of the application that extend from a rapid modeling method of gyroid structure, experiments, and simulations along with theoretical values for mechanical and thermal properties of gyroid, to topology optimization…
Radiation Analysis
In this grasshopper definition, first we model a parametric tower, then we use the Ladybug plugin and do a radiation analysis for the tower. The city we chose for this analysis is Chicago.
String Art Patterns
String art or pin and thread art, is characterized by an arrangement of colored thread strung between points to form geometric patterns or representational designs such as a ship’s sails, sometimes with other artist material comprising the remainder of the work.
Shattered Ribbons
In this 2d pattern library example file you can create a series of parametric dividing ribbons in grasshopper.
Tornado Twist
In this grasshopper example file, you can simulate the wind force on a mesh surface by using the Kangaroo2 plugin.
Assembled Spatial Structures
This paper presents a design strategy for a lightweight steel structure assembled by two robots. The developed structure describes a novel typology of spatial structures and consists of steel tubes that form spatial configurations.
Stripper
This toolkit by joncorrod focuses on the versatile nature of meshes, providing various effective functionalities for working with and editing mesh topology.
Bulged Ribbons
In this 2d pattern library example file you can model a parametric strip-based pattern by defining two attractor points.
L-System Earrings
In this grasshopper example file you can model a parametric L-system based earing by using the Rabbit plugin.
