The Pro-Sumer: From Modular Logic to a Regenerative Urban Ecosystem
Developed through an iterative Rhino workflow, The Pro-Sumer explores how a timber office tower can evolve from a consumer of resources into a productive urban ecosystem.
Stories
Scaling Nature: From Biomimetic Patterns to Furniture Design
What began as a biomimetic study of natural textures evolved into a parametric system capable of moving across scales, from surface patterns to digitally fabricated furniture. Developed in Rhino and Grasshopper, the project explores how a single Voronoi-based definition can be adapted, refined, and reinterpreted for different design applications.
Tips & Tricks: Keep Your Grasshopper Definitions Clean with Insert Relay
Discover a simple new workflow in Rhino Beta that makes organizing Grasshopper definitions faster than ever. By pressing ALT while drawing a wire, you can automatically insert a Relay without interrupting the connection process.
chrYsalis: Building Castles in the Air
Developed at the University of the Basque Country, chrYsalis explores the challenge of “building castles in the air” through a lightweight pavilion generated with Rhino and Grasshopper and assembled using augmented reality technologies.
Rethinking Egyptian Crafts Through Parametric Design
At the German International University in Egypt, two Industrial Design theses used Rhino and Grasshopper to reinterpret traditional Egyptian crafts through computational design. Inspired by Mashrabiyah woodworking and Talli embroidery, the projects explore how parametric workflows can expand design possibilities while keeping artisans at the center of the process.
Parametric Adaptive Shell for an Autonomous Stock Handling Robot
Designed for a real-world logistics automation platform, this project explores how Rhino and Grasshopper can be used to develop adaptive industrial components that balance structural performance, mechanical constraints, ventilation, and manufacturability within a fully parametric workflow.
Aion: Turning History into Morphology
Designed for Southeastern Louisiana University’s centennial anniversary, Aion transforms institutional memory into inhabitable geometry. Developed through Rhino and Grasshopper, the monument combines parametric thinking, site analysis, and fabrication logic to create a public installation where history, movement, and community intersect.
From Form-Finding to Fabrication: Pabellón Generativo Michoacán
A generative pavilion built in Morelia, Mexico, explores how form-finding, Voronoi-based segmentation, and digitally fabricated nodes can translate computational logic into a lightweight physical structure assembled from recycled CPVC components.
EcoHouse: Material Efficiency and Digital Control with Rhino and VisualARQ
A compact house in Florianópolis demonstrates how Rhino and VisualARQ can drive material efficiency, reduce waste, and translate a fully controlled digital model into precise on-site construction.
Helical Timber Staircase: Parametric Design and Fabrication of a Non-Standard Geometry
This project explores the design and fabrication of a non-repetitive helical staircase, where parametric workflows and NURBS modeling enable precise control over complex geometry.
