Creating this surface through grasshopper

That's lots of surfaces. It seems to be the result of a contouring operation on a freeform shape. How you make the freeform base shape is up to you, maybe you want to do it by hand, maybe it's the result of a physical simulation, maybe.....? Once you have the shape though, you contour it with vertical planes and you convert the contour curves to closed regions which then become the slabs.

It would be easier to help you if you had a more specific question.

I am just interested in this space and wanted to create something similar through grasshopper. I would try though the way you told. Thank you for such a quick response. Really appreciated.

I created free form surface and put that in grasshopper. Do you have any suggestions how I should start? I am not very good at gh. Thanks.
