In this paper by integrating specialized expertise across disciplines of architecture, engineering, and material science, authors propose an algorithmic toolset to generate PolyBrick geometries that can be applied to various architectural typologies.
Rotating Mechanism
In this grasshopper definition you can model a simple parametric rotating mechanism. you can actually change the handle’s length , width and also control the rotation speed.
Timber Plate Structures
TPS by C.Robeller is a Grasshopper Plugin for the design of freeform Timber Plate Structures. It is meant for discrete structures, built from separate pieces which are connected with joints. The resulting meshes are not necessarily flat-foldable as in Origami.

In this grasshopper definition by using the Stella3d plugin you can simulate a series of particles which try to reach defined point targets and then voxelize them by using Cocoon, you can also refine it as an additional step.
Informed Geometries
This paper by Ionuţ Anton and Daniela Tănase will discuss the implications of parametric modeling and energy analysis in architectural design and will present the authors research in developing architectural forms using computational design tools.
Origami Tessellation
This research by Hong-Cing Tung and Pei-Hsien Hsu is to compile an algorithm for creating origami forms with developability and flat-foldability on the target surface by generating a Miura-ori tessellation from the geometric of the target surface.
Emitted Berries
In this grasshopper definition by using Stella3d for particles simulation ,you can move a series of geometries around a defined NURBS curves while they get bigger as they move forward.
Tensile Configurations
In this article by Kenneth Tracy et al. a design framework is presented for creating self-supporting membrane tensegrity shell structures with spatial openings, enabled by novel reciprocally tessellated strut configurations.
Scaling Circle Fractal
In this definition you can model a parametric fractal based on circles.In each step the circles scale down and cover a portion of the circle’s circumference.
Intralattice
Intralattice by dnkrtz, is a plug-in for Grasshopper used to generate solid lattice structures within a design space. It was developed as an extensible, open-source alternative to current commercial solutions, such as Within.
3D Printed Pottery
Taekyeom Lee is a designer and researcher taking pottery into the future. He taught himself to build and use a 3D printer with no prior background in robotics. He used it to create 3D-printed ceramic pieces.
3D Printing Joints
In this definition you can model a parametric joint connection for a network of lines. The connection can be 3d printed and by defining sleeves for the pipes you can insert them in the nodes.
Step Wall
In this definition you can model a Step wall in Grasshopper. For the base unit you can control the height, count, width and depth of the stairs.
Wave Sections
In this defintion you can model a parametric wave like structure and two waffle parts which can hold those sections together.
Cocoon
Cocoon by David Stasiuk is an add-on to McNeel’s Grasshopper visual scripting interface for Rhinoceros. Cocoon is a fairly straightforward implementation of the Marching Cubes algorithm for turning iso-surfaces into polygonal meshes.
Stella3d #1
In this Rhino Grasshopper tutorial, we are going to introduce a new plugin developed by our team called “Stella3d” and combine it with the Dendro plugin to produce a particle-based simulation.
7- Interlocking Pattern
In this Paracourse Lesson we are going to model a parametric interlocking pattern. First we are going to start with a base grid (Hexagons) and then make the parametric connections with Nurbs curves.
Twisting Fractal
In this rhino grasshopper tutorial,we have used Anemone to make a twisting recursive fractal in which the module is based on a polygon moving, rotating and scaling at the same time.
NGon

Rotating Squares
In this definition you can model a fractal based on a square which builds two smaller squares on one of its edges.
Flexible Systems
This paper by Gernot Riether and Knox Jolly is about the fabrication process of the DesCours pavilion. The construction process will be used to show how parametric software, such as Grasshopper can inform fabrication and material systems.
GECO
Making use of Grasshopper uto developed an interface named GECO, which offers a direct link between Rhino/Grasshopper models and Ecotect. The Plugin allows you to export complex geometries very quickly and evaluate your design in Ecotect.
