Grasshopper Architecture Precedents

I am looking for images of built architectural scale projects which used grasshopper in the design process, especially for a facade. I would be using this as an example precedent in a paper so I would need the source/author as well. If anyone knows of a project or if such "grasshopper precedents" have been collected somewhere, please let me know. Thanks.

This one isn't built yet... but it will be completed 2013. Ground was broken in December 09.

Grasshopper was used through construction documents to design, optimize, and document the exterior surfaces and structural systems. It was also used to study variations on the seating bowl.

If you need a proper citation for your paper, I have a published paper titled "Parametric Strategies in Civic Architecture Design". It is available in this book: ACADIA 2009: reForm() Proceedings

There are other cool Grasshopper examples sprinkled throughout the papers in the proceedings.
