Augmented Intelligence
In this thesis by Chin-Yi Cheng, author proposes a framework and a toolkit for designers to interact with Al algorithms. Following this framework, designers with moderate programming ability should be able to embed Al algorithms into their design.
Rainbow Cone
In this grasshopper definition by connecting the interior edges of polygons and twisting them from both sides you can create a conical shape made of stripes.
