    Godzilla: From Form-Finding to a Built Gridshell

    A research team at the University of Tokyo transformed a NURBS-based form-finding workflow into a full-scale fabrication and assembly system for a complex gridshell. Developed with Rhino, Grasshopper, and the custom Godzilla plugin, the project connects computational geometry directly with planar fabrication, student-led assembly, and real-world structural constraints.

    S·O·S, Skin of the Sky: Connecting Voices, Lightning, Sound, and Light Through Rhino and Grasshopper

    For Nuit Blanche 2026, artist Marie-Luce Nadal transformed a Parisian church into a living map of human wishes and atmospheric events. Rhino 8 and Grasshopper became the central coordination environment connecting the venue’s geometry with 80 loudspeakers, 43 lighting fixtures, spatial audio, and real-time lighting previsualization.

    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.

    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.
