Check out the additional models fabbed, assembled, and displayed by participants of our recent Performance Shells workshop at Tex Fab http://bit.ly/1mxWxmd
We presented a number of different techniques that our participants then explored. In general, we used Kangaroo to simulate the initial shell geometry, then we applied a catalog of material/fabrication processes to articulate them with Grasshopper - folded tessels, woven strips, rigid cells - and prototyped them as scale models. More images on the process can be found here: http://modelab.is/education/blog/news/

could you explain how these shells where generated ? thy !
