I am sorry, this building was a project I did at my university and all the stuff is done with rhino, no grasshopper! I didn't know anything at that time about grasshopper, I guess it would have been much more easier, ... :-)
The space frame is out of curves/lines and later it is getting piped, that's "all".
Oh wow, I turned red as i red your comment! :-) Thank you for the compliment!
Well the main idea was, to construct a building, that resists natural disasters, especially protection in earthquake areas like Japane. People could use it as a refuge area. Else it is a multi-purpose hall with a focus on basketball. It took me 2 semesters to design and also construct it, ...
Basically why I do is this. Say my goal is to divide a line and rotate the segments 90 degrees from each segments center. So my initial paragraph may look like this.
"First I will define a start point of a line as well as it's direction and length. Then I will divide the line into segments. Then I will rotate each segment 90 degrees in some direction from it's center point."
Then I make a numbered list trying to be more specific.
"1.define a point at 0,0,0
2.make a line starting at that point in the x direction 80mm.
3.divide the line into 10 pieces.
4.find the center of each of the 10 lines.
5.rotate each line 90 degrees from the x direction clockwise from the start point."
Then I try and make a list using grasshopper components describing inputs and outputs.
1.line start point vector length. input 0,0,0 into start point, input x as direction. Input 80mm as length.
2.divide curve: input resulting line segment and input 10 as number of segment.
3.curve center point: input list of segments
4.rotate: input list of segments, input curve center points as center of rotation. Input 90 degrees into rotation amount.
Also sometimes for more complicated stuff I will make a list of rhino commands saying how I would do it In rhino. Then try and covert it to grasshopper.

So I have no definition for it, sry!

i attached one more photo, a exploded drawing.
have a good night!

Hi Djordje,
my fingerprint logo is only because I am manufacturer of biometric software and products.
I use grasshopper only in school, for teaching purposes :-)

No. I am using the algorithm from the sensor manufacturer, and our own algorithm for face recognition, but still in a early development phase.
