Folded Canopy
This grasshopper definition that I created generates a canopy structure built out of folded ribs. The length of each rib, and the location at which they fold can be controlled with curves in the active Rhino model. The video below…

Z Panel Block Wall
I created this grasshopper definition for the concept design of a new cathedral in Santa Ana California. The definition generates a curved wall out of stacked Z shaped panels which follow the shape of a provided base surface. The length…

Gradient Spandrels
This grasshopper definition, which I created for the 1st & Mission project, generates a building facade system where the height of the window spandrels around each floor vary over their length. The spandrel heights are controlled by a grey scale…

Stacked Block Wall
I created this Grasshopper definition while assisting the design of a new cathedral in Santa Ana California. The definition creates a wall of stacked blocks across a input surface. Various dimensions of the blocks are provided as lists of values…

Balanced Stack
This grasshopper definition creates a balanced stack that follows a provided profile curve. The definition automatically adjusts the width of the blocks as the profile is modified so that stack remains balanced.

Roulette Curve
I created this grasshopper definition, which generates a roulette or spirograph type curve. The radius of the rolling circle, as well as the offset of the drawing point can be controlled with parameter sliders in grasshopper. The base shape which…

Faceted Eliptical Tower
This Grasshopper definition generates a faceted elliptical building form. The trickiest part of creating this definition was rationalizing an ellipse into a series of equal length line segments, which is actually a lot harder then it sounds. I was able…

Seating Layout
A simple Grasshopper definition that is use to plan seating layouts. It takes a series of curves that represents rows of seats, and a minimum seat spacing. It then draws circles to represent each seat along each row, provides a…

Louver Facade
A grasshopper definition I created which creates a louver type facade system that follows the path of a provided curve. The definition generates geometry for the structural slab, stone spandrel, vision glass, and ceiling soffit.

Glazing Projection
I created this Grasshopper definition for a project where the ratio of glazing to building facade that could be visible from various vantage points was restricted. The definition takes two collections of surfaces that represent glazed facade and unglazed facade….
