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.
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.
