I'm more interested in seeing how I can generate something more elaborate of established geometry, and this gives me a very easy starting point.  After fussing for hours making little flowery things to gain prominent control over these fairly basic shapes and attempting to generate a definition that would allow me to have basic platonic solids, I stumbled across these little components.  Long story short, it made some things pretty easy.  Just Pop it in and go.  …

Recently I was working to create GHPython plugin for welds' design to speed up steel structures design in Grasshopper. There is no other software used beside Grasshopper. For graphs and text display I used Conduit plugin. Now I'm switching from IronPython to C#, so it'll be much easier to maintain all components' code and to test it all.…

This list is not comprehensive but a starting point for any planning project.

In a successfully designed urban plan the designer needs to manage and manipulate multiple interconnected parameters. Each parameter can be investigated and developed independently, but will also have to be…

This is my short list of 8 reasons why parametric design is changing Architecture.

PARAMETRIC DESIGN

I first came across systemic and parametric design approaches while studying at the Architectural Association in London in the late 90s. Since then I have participated in and conducted research around digital and computational design. My Nordic roots drive me increasingly towards …

HOW THINGS BEGIN

We have been hearing of the end of modernism for a long time, why is it still here? Art movements are founded on a philosophy as well as being fixed in the era the movement operates in. It is always difficult to mark a specific start and end date for cultural and artistic eras. Movements feed off and feed into one another, and the shift to a new movement tends to be more gradual than we are led to believe.

The overarching movements prior to Modernism were…

Video shows my attempt to create Grasshopper plugin in GHPython for Bolts&Welds design. As always it turns out to be really time-consuming and still needs a lot of new features.

Software used:

Rhino + Grasshopper

LaTeX

Used software:

Rhino + Grasshopper

VisualARQ

Excel + TT Toolbox

This tutorial is to explain the ease of exporting VisualARQ's BIM designs from Rhino 3D and uploading them to Studio 3DX.

At Parametricos we love collaborating with great people that do their best to improve our design workflow. …
