RHINO: GRASSHOPPER DEFINITIONS - RHINO / GH
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.
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)

Algorithmic Design
with Grasshopper Takeaways: What's an algorithm and how do I define one?Isn't Grasshopper already a "Graphical Algorithm Editor"? How is an Algorithmic Design different from Parametric Design?What is the difference between incremental versus all-at-once execution?
Grasshopper Modules - Proxy Wiki
From Phylogenesis, FOA 2003 The following Grasshopper modules were created in consultation with FOA's Phylogenesis, in particular the taxonomy of forms found at the conclusion of the book. Grasshopper is an exciting and evolving modeling platform - the following examples attempt to develop a range of geometric examples to explore its form-making potentials. Andrew Payne, a GSAPP alum, has created a comprehensive primer on Grasshopper that can be found here. You should have this handy for reference. Helpful Modules
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.
Marilyn Jordan Taylor, Dean and Paley Professor
Academic Year 2011 - 2012 GOALS, PRIORITIES, AND INITIATIVESSeptember 7, 2011 I'm very pleased to take this opportunity to set forth the goals and initiatives for the School of Design in the academic year 2011-2012. In doing so, I hope to engage each and every one of you--students, staff, alumni, faculty, university colleagues, overseers, trustees, and friends--in achieving our extraordinary potential. We are a community of scholars and professionals who together can illustrate and communicate that design--encompassing the fine arts, historic preservation, urban and regional planning, urban design, landscape architecture, and architecture--can create value and make a difference in the lives of people in communities large and small, growing and shrinking, advantaged and disadvantaged, around the world.
Animate Sketching of a Parametric Truss
Previous studies on the timer component were based on understanding it’s use. This time, I tried to implement it in a geometric design task. Moreover, manipulating timer component to change the regular animation of parameters. Time does not have to be equally divided sequences. Rather, new possibilities may be emerged with different time flows. A simple triangulation system is developed with a potential manipulation, based on a timer.
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. Grasshopper file
