Perturbated Mesh
In this grasshopper definition, you can deform a mesh by a parametric noise using Fracturehopper Plugin.
Bezier Distribution Morphing
In this grasshopper definition by using twisted boxes you can create different density maps from a single module which is imported from rhino.
Configraphics
This dissertation by Pirouz Nourian reports a PhD research on mathematical-computational models, methods, and techniques for analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of spatial configurations in architecture and urban design.

In this grasshopper definition we have used the Boid plugin and Nursery plugin combined to simulate sliding of a series of particles on a surface.
L-System
This project by Po-Hung Chiu is a study of a methodology for the parametric design and fabrication of the bionic structure.
Robotics in Architecture
This study by Mads Brath Mads Brath and Avishek Das investigates the technological and methodological challenges in establishing an indeterministic approach to robotic fabrication that allows for a collaborative and creative design/fabrication process.
Wandering on Klein Surface
In This grasshopper definition by creating a Klein surface and allowing a series of points to wander on it and combining it with the Perlin noise Algorithm you can create a flocking effect.
Voxelized Ramp
This grasshopper definition creates a voxelized ramp by using the AXOLOTL plugin. You can change the parameters to generate different designs.
Space Filling Fractal
In this grasshopper definition you can create a space filling fractal by generating grid of rectangles and applying a growth system to it.
Permeation
Retrospects on the original purpose of architecture, despite all those form-versus-function disputations, clarify us that the simple essence of a building is just to satisfy the basic human need, for us to fullfill our daily activities.
Biomimicry Principles
The aim of this paper by Parag Sarwate and Akshay Patil is to understand and explore the application of generative modeling based on biomimicry principles to architectural design.
Rotating Lines
In this grasshopper definition, you can model two tilted lines and then find a solid which they can go through if they rotate along an axis.
Weaving Pattern
In this Grasshopper definition, you can model a weaving pattern on a parametric revolution surface. First, we will extract a portion of the surface and convert it into a mesh. Then we will use the Mesh+ Plugin to model the Pattern.
Parametric Approach
This study by William Suyoto, Aswin Indraprastha and Heru W. Purbo offers discrete method in parametric design to solve problems during design process (programming, site planning, massing, structure planning, and facade planning).
Quad Edge
A ‚QuadEdgeDataStructure‘ is used to represent a n-gonal Mesh without making any difference between primal and dual elements. The (relativ) dual-graph is holded in a valid state during any topological operation.
Folded Surfaces
Both in the field of design and architecture origami is often taken as a reference for its kinetic proprieties and its elegant appearance. Dynamic facades, fast deployment structures, temporary shelters, portable furniture, retractile roofs…
Design Freedom
The goal of this research by Florian Chéraud is to introduce, within the Grasshopper environment, a tensile parameter, the Young Modulus, into the Kangaroo model.
Airport Design
The current research by Sarah N. Shuchi proposes a design framework to develop flexible layouts of departure areas in an international airport. A flexible design framework for airport terminals has been developed based on a number of hypotheses.
Mesh force field
In this grasshopper definition we have used a mesh to create a force field using the Nursery plugin.
Polyhedron Fabrication
In this 45 minutes Paracourse Lesson (premium Members) we are going to fabricate a Polyhedron by defining a series of simple connections for the faces. First, we are going to model the connection for any polyhedron and then model them in 3D.
Grasshopper to the Tangible
After a 5-day intensive workshop training in Grasshopper and Rhinoceros, a Russian group has created plywood hand assembled form. The object is reminiscent of an aquatic creature.
Basket Weaving
In this grasshopper definition by Martyn Hogg, you can model a weaving basket. You can select number of weaves in X or Y directions for a flat surface. Similarly, U and V divisions on a curved surface. It also works on a loft through curves.
Form Finding of Arches
In this thesis by Giorgio Piscitelli, a new form-finding method is developed for system combining arches, membranes, cables, ties and struts. First the whole mathematical theory is elaborated then digital tools are created in the Grasshopper.
Flocking and Collision of Agents
In this grasshopper definition, you can simulate the movment of a series of agents which collide with a geometry by using the Zebra plugin.
Sweep Shell
In this Paracourse Lesson, we are going to model a parametric freeform surface by defining two sections and a polar based rail. Then we are going to model a series of trusses and convert the surface into triangular panels.
Loxodrome
In this grasshopper definition by Laurent DELRIEU you can model a symetric loxodrome on a sphere. It simply can be done in any revolution object. Laurent used equations from a wikipedia page.
Mercury partition
In this grasshopper definition, you can model a structural frame in grasshopper and then use the nodes to generate a random voxelized volume using the Cocoon plugin.
Radial Mechanism
In this Grasshopper tutorial, we are going to model a Radial mechanism which translates a circle up and down. This mechanism is similar to the Pantadome System developed by Mamoru KAWAGUCHI. You can change the size of the linkages.
Undulant Portrait
In this grasshopper definition by Junichiro Horikawa you can model an undulant portrait using Image Sampler.
Hermit Crab
Hermit Crab by jim.peraino for Grasshopper is a tool that analyzes floorplans to find zones that aren’t conducive to social distancing — areas like aisles or workstations.
