Geometry Gym
I'm not sure how obvious the collaboration is between Geometry Gym and [UTO] to develop the Rhino/Grasshopper addons, but it's nice to see a co-authored article published in the Taiwan Architects magazine, Tawain Architects 2001/07 Here's the article in English As performative design concepts become more accessible to designers, we will see more analysis tools being developed for the design process.
MathSurf v2.0 for 3ds Max
Previous version was a bit slow, there are few items that has fixed in new version to improve the performance: Mesh had being generated several times when you choose a surface type from drop down menu or after editing explicit presentation.

22го апреля в студии Lightbox на Красном Октябре прошла стихийная видеовыставка «Притащи свой проектор», являющаяся первой на моей памяти выставкой формата Bring Your Own Beamer . Сразу скажу, что для нас выставка была действительно “стихийной”, т.к. никто специально не планировал никаких грандиозных проектов, а решили мы поучаствовать, узнав о событии за пару дней. Приятным фактором явилось то, что студия Lightbox, находится непосредственно рядом с нашим офисом в Digital October, поэтому не участвовать причин не оставалось.
Grasshooper component Attractor | designbymany
I Have my component, a rhomboid it has a offset and a fillet to it. I am goint to attach it to a surface, i would however like to add an attractor that affects the offset amount of the component relative to the attractors position, for example the suns path affect the componets offset openings allowing me to argue the benifits of an intelligent facade system. Similar to the image attached by Zaha HadidAny help would be greatly appreciated.
Slavoj Žižek , enfant terrible of contemporary philosophy, speaks about hidden ideodology in architecture, especially in functional forms and objects. Therefore he compares the mechanics of three different bowl shapes of flush toilets in a very entertainig way.

Virginia Tech’s 2009 Solar Decathlon team has recently launched its new website. lumenHAUS features the developed screen pattern that was studied during the grasshopper workshop held in February 2009. Following the workshop, Jonathan Grinham and the Virginia Tech Solar Decathlon team continued to develop the script, and have produced a full scale mock-up of the [...]

Grasshopper | Design Reform
With the PolyArc set up, we can adjust the geometry dramatically by setting a new tangent vector. In this video we discuss tangent vectors and how to control them. Once the series of points is set up, we create a curve of continuous polyarcs through them. The radius and direction of these arcs can be changed, along with the base series of points we already... The next tool we use to dynamically update items is the Series.
These videos shows an animation how to use the generative design methods in architecture and design. Methods: Synthesis, Celluar Automata, zelluläre Automaten, Parametrics There are different initial cells at the bottom. There are different types boxes. The boxes/ facade elements varies in size and opening.

In the latest release of Grasshopper, David Rutten has incorporated many of his Pointset Reconstrution tools for Rhino. There are, for example, components for voronoi, delaunay, quadtree and convexhull funtions. To have them right there in grasshopper lets you skip the step of calling them from rhino or a script. Great!

HoopSnake, apart from a legendary creature , is simple component for Grasshopper . What it does in principle is to create a copy of the data it receives at it's input upon user request and store it locally. This duplicate is made available through a standard Grasshopper parameter output.
