Grasshopper – Obleo Design Media. From Top Down to Bottom Up Generative design tools flip the script of architectural thinking by Brett Duesing, Obleo Design Media “Some might view computational design is just making some weird or crazy form,” says architectural designer Woo Jae Sung.
The 3D shapes may look arbitrary, but the method behind them is not. “Contrary to the misconception, generative modeling is based on rationalism. Designers have two different starting points when conceiving new structural forms, top-down and bottom-up. Bottom-up conceptual approaches are found throughout other art disciplines, but it is still rare in architecture. “In my perspective, the generative design process is not a sub-discipline in architecture, but rather another paradigm,” says Sung. Sung publishes his own Grasshopper Tutorial, a primer of getting started in the program, for Rhino users everywhere. Housing Block: Construction of Unite d’habitation in 1945. Escaping from the grid Natural Transformations Building Differently About Noiz.
Grasshopper Scripting - Zesks. Organicités Piraeus Tower. Agbar Tower, Barcelona by Jean Nouvel proposes a double facade, a structural envelope on the inside and a glas-panels system on the outside.
Those last are oriented and materialized regarding the sunlight incidence, while the envelope is covered by color squares. You can download the Rhino-file (base curves) over here. The first sketch explores the possiblities of partition of one panel (about 3 unit squares height). Once divided, each subpanel can be rotated to follow a given orientation. Generic Explorations. Grasshopper « Geometricmind. This grasshopper definition is to create a Hyperbolic tower with helix partition. 01 concept There are two features in this definition, first one is to use ‘function’ component to create geometry.
The concept is explained in the image above. Basically, there are doughnut like floors through the whole tower, each has the same area. This was enabled by ‘function 2′ component that inputs are the area of the outer circles and the floor area you want. Enjoy grasshoppering. 02 Grasshopper definition tower in Rhino Tower in Rhino 02 This post is about how to create diagrid on a surface by exploiting tree structure. The tutorial shows how to turn ‘tree data structure’ into a ‘single list’ by ‘flattening’ and ‘restructuring’ it into s tree structure with lists of ‘four points’. This is what rhino will show according to the grasshopper logic. Close up view of H-beams. Say we want to draw lines between the points on each curve. Dynamic Building simulator from MIT Mobile Experience Lab on Vimeo. List Item. Grasshopper Scripting - Zesks.
In this session we will be looking at some more advanced components and methods of using grasshopper, principally focussing on Galapagos, Grasshopper’s built-in genetic algrithm solver.
Along the way, we’ll also be examining Grasshopper’s metaball component and means of flow control – the Grasshopper equivalent of ‘if statements’ in coding. Example 7: Galapagos Galapagos is best used to solve problems to which the optimal solution is not immediately obvious. In this example the problem which we are going to try and solve is to examine a field of points and attempt to enclose as many of those points as possible within a closed curve of a fixed maximum length. If you want a physical analog – imagine that each point is a pin and we have a loop of string that we want to fit around as many as we can.
The first step is to obtain our set of points – you can either use the one in the example file provided or create your own using the Points command and clicking lots. Metaballs Galapagos.

Streaming Grasshopper Points into a Revit Conceptual Mass. Below is a basic example of streaming a list of XYZ coordinates from Grasshopper into a *csv file and then using that file to create reference points in a Revit conceptual mass...
A custom script was written using the Revit API to read the CSV file and make the points. Here is the Revit API code (in VB.NET) for reading the *.csv file : Dim XYZfile As String = "insert file path here" If File.Exists(XYZfile) Then Dim FileReadXYZ As New StreamReader(XYZfile)
