Shading Systems
This paper presents the main challenges and outcomes achieved during the process of design and production of a vault cover system. Based on the discretization of a vault in hexagonal blocks, this system intends to control solar incidence by its adaptive inner structure.
Mesh+ Virus
In this grasshopper definition, you can use the mesh+ Plugin to model a parametric virus-like mesh! finally, a Catmull-Clark subdivision can smooth the final result.
Ceiling Wave Attractor
In this Grasshopper definition, you can model a wave-like ceiling pattern by hanging a series of panels from the roof. The point attractor will give the panels a wave look that you can control with a Graph Mapper.
Thermal Comfort
To investigate the links between parametric form-making and outdoor comfort, a workshop at the Royal Danish Academy – aimed at the design of shelters – combined Parametric and Environmental Simulation Tools (ESTs) with the use of the most recent Grasshopper’s plug-ins.
Game of life tower
This grasshopper definition by Mike Pryor, creates a voxelized mesh tower based on game of life.
Structural Wave
In this Grasshopper definition, you can model a wave-like structure with graph mappers. Then you can use the Millipede plugin to analyze the form. This will give you an overview of which surfaces will give you a better parametric roof structure.
Brick Type F
In this grasshopper definition, you can use the Parakeet Plugin to cover a curved wall with a “Brick Type F” component and use the Weaverbird plugin to give it some thickness.
Rigid Body Collision
This grasshopper definition, inspired by Daniel Piker, simulates the collision between solids by using the “Kangaroo2” plugin.
Articulate Objects
This paper by Clay Odom uses two recently completed projects to outline an approach to overcoming tendency to separate the objective and subjective. It describes an approach which is positioned within contemporary theory and explored through processes, methods and outcomes.
Rotating Strips
In this grasshopper definition, you can model a series of parametric rotating strips that can cover a circle when they lay on the ground.
Game Of Life
BY using this grasshopper definition inspired by Gediminas kiredeikis, you can model a sample of “game of life” and control the rules.
2D Venation Pattern
In this Grasshopper definition, you can define a planar closed curve and a series of points for the branching base locations. use the Shortest walk plugin to find the nearest distance between the starting point and the branches. Finally, you can give it a thickness.
Building Traditions
Robotic assembly technologies have been introduced in the field of architecture, opening new design and construction possibilities. This paper by Rui Oliveira and Jose Pedro Sousa intends to examine their application by examining how they can be used to connect with the traditions in brick construction.
Customizable Face Mask
In this grasshopper definition, you can generate a parametric face mask by spliting parts of the face mesh and use pufferfish to give it a symmetric look. Finally, use mesh+ plugin to give it some borders.
