RHINO: GRASSHOPPER DEFINITIONS

 

This definition was developed for my final thesis project to generate a louver system based on functional requirements within the building. The performance was then tested in Ecotect.

A large part of my thesis design involved invertible arena seating with many moving parts. I used Grasshopper as a means to develop the seating testing clearances, site lines, and many other variables.

This definition looks at taking any curved surface, and generating weaving geometry across it.

The parametric skyscraper uses Grasshopper to generate the entire structure. I was more or less just playing around with how complex I could get the definition to be. Still nothing compared to others I have seen online.

My favorite definition to date, this definition generates box designs based on real boxes I crafted in the wood shop while in Grad school

 This definition extrudes geometry based on their proximity to a polyline attractor.

 Using a definition created by paramod, I wanted to see if I could edit the definition so that different panels could be combined to create a seamless surface

This definition takes a cylinder and transforms it based on the location of objects moving around it.

Louvers orient themselves towards multiple objects based on proximity. This was the stepping stone towards a definition used in my final thesis project

 This was one of the first definitions from scratch I ever created. It looks at parametric control of a truss-like system.

For the Rhino/Grasshopper programs, could you construct video tutorials to show every step taken in the process. Thanks
