This doesn't look like GH to me. While work like this is possible, this looks like TopMod to me. http://code.google.com/p/topmod/

If you want to achieve some of the same things with GH, the closest you can come is Giulio Piacentino's "Weaverbird" plug in. http://www.giuliopiacentino.com/weaverbird/.

seems like maybe starting with a spherical shape, dividing it and re organizing the points the interpolate curve paths, then using meta balls > mesh from points > picture frame > catmull-clark. Prolly some functioned scaling as well.

The primer is the best way to start.
