algorithmic modeling for Rhino

What are some good physical books that actually break down the formulas and algorithms for geometries and processes of algorithmic and generative design, as opposed to books based on their history and examples in architecture. thanks

Architectural Geometry is a pretty good one...

fantastic, thanks

do you happen to know the difference between the academic and professional editions?

If i remember right i think its just the cost. For the academic one i think i sent my student ID as proof. As bought mine a few years ago. Its an expensive book but as it will never really date its well worth the investment.

yea I will definitely be purchasing it, just curious of the difference.

as I can see from book excerpt, it tells a lot about practical side of parametric design - do you know some good books that are about theory ? 

There are some links here 

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/library-algorithms-and

but which one to focus on to get some nice theory about all aspects of parametric design, not only about nature or i.e. genetic algorythms ?

There was this discussion, back when there was a "Theory" section...

I think my book collection may grow a little this month ;)

Elements of Parametric Design by Rob Woodbury is pretty good as well I find. Here's a review by Daniel Davis. His blog has several book reviews which you might find useful..

thanks

I guess anything Bently publishes in their Building Analysis and Generative Design category might be useful.

Also this book might be good, but I don't think it's out yet.

The New Mathematics of Architecture

Mark and Jane Burry are at SIAL (RMIT), which is also where Daniel Davis is at...
