Grid deformation in response to optimized path

Hi. All. Can anybody advise me how to achieve the attached images with grasshopper? I would like to deform the rectangular grid responding to the optimized path network. I am thinking that I need to make the path network as attractors but I don't know what is appropriate way of doing it. Please help! Thanks in advance.

have you looked in this direction?

and somewhere along the line, i think there is .gh file, but you can always export lines into processing and import them back in .3ds

Thanks Nay for your response. I think it is good starting point to get the bundling hair network. I was more wondering after stage. Once you get the network of path system, how can I use the hair bundling to deform the rectangular grid? Or Is it once you get the hair ( streets) and space in between ( plots), will be I needed another logic for subdivision of the plots ( space between that are created by the hair network)? Hope that it makes sense.

Thanks.
