Random Connection
In this Grasshopper example file you can generate a series of random points on a base surface and then use the Kangaroo2 + Dendro plugin to convert it into a parametric mesh.
Philosophy,Mathematics & Parametric Design
The purpose of this article by Mohammed Akazaf is to throw light on the mathematical and philosophical foundations that have opened architecture to the hegemony of digital technologies.
Parametric brick facade
In this grasshopper example file You can Design a parametric brick facade. By defining a curve attractor you can also dispatch the nearby bricks into two set of groups.
Origami Structures
This paper by Evgueni T. Filipov, Tomohiro Tachi and Glaucio H. Paulino, describes thin sheets that have long been known to experience an increase in stiffness when they are bent, buckled, or assembled into smaller interlocking structures.
ZigZag Facade
In this grasshopper tutorial, you will learn how to model a zigzag parametric facade in Grasshopper.
Voronoi Deformation
In this grasshopper example file you can create parametric voronoi cells by defining point attractors and deforming them based on that point.
Geodesic Grid Structures
This paper by Stefan Pillwein, Johanna Kübert, Florian Rist and Przemyslaw Musialski, describe a method for generating a layout to implement Elastic geodesic grids (EGG) structures that can provide free-form surfaces.
Mobius Transformation Structure
In this grasshopper example file You can use the Möbius Transformation component from the Kangaroo Physics plugin to transform a mesh plane by using a mobius transformation.
Penrose Tiling
This video from Veritasium is about Penrose Tiling. Simple rules of geometry meant that 5-fold symmetry was impossible as were crystals without a periodic structure. This turns out to be wrong.
Particles on Surface
In this Grasshopper example file you can simulate a series of Particles growing on a Nurbs surface using the Culebra Plugin.
Diffusion 3D Pattern
In this grasshopper example file you can simulate Diffusion Limited Aggregation by using the Anemone Plugin
Single Layer Tensegrity Structures
This paper by Haoyu Yang, Ruiwei Liu, Ani Luo, Heping Liu and Chuanyang Li, describes a mathematical model of lightweight single-layer tensegrity structures on the basis of their geometric parameters.
Anemone Paneling
In this grasshopper example file You can use the Anemone Plugin for paneling a Nurbs surface.
Tensile pavilion
In this grasshopper example file you can simulate different patterns on a mesh surface by using the Kangaroo2 Plugin. The Sphere collide component has been used to generate the patterns.

Paneling Fabrication
In this grasshopper example file you can convert a Nurbs surface to triangular panels and then use some connectors for fabrication.
Generative Design
This paper by Marco Hemmerling, discusses a case study for a seating element that takes into account human factors as well as aspects of structural performance, material properties and production parameters within an integrative design approach.
Bionic Vault Structures
This video is about Bionic Vault Structures called Powerstruct. These hexagonal structures, which is found naturally in turtles or honeycombs, have become an integral part of industrial processes.
Kangaroo Chair
In this grasshopper example file You can design a parametric chair by using the Kangaroo 2 plugin and the Sphere Collide component.
PowerStruct (Vault Structure)
Dr. Mirtsch Wölbstrukturierung GmbH develops and produces lightweight structures of thin-walled materials for innovative applications. The patented vault-structuring technique is based on an unique principle of bionic self-organization and is therefore particularly gentle to materials and surfaces.
Kangaroo Lamp
In this Grasshopper example file you can use the kangaroo colliders component to deform a mesh as a parametric Lamp.

In this Grasshopper example file you can model a generative 3d pattern using the Minimal surface plugin and defining the base curves.
Brick Attractor
In this grasshopper example file You can design a parametric brick wall and rotate the bricks based on their distance from point attractor
Folded Plate Principles
This Paper by Dr.-Ing Martin TRAUTZ presents a method of developing the folding plate principles on spatial structures also with irregular and freeform geometries.
