Hi Guys,

Very happy to let you know that our project Tangential Dreams, built for Burning Man 2016 (pictures below), was shortlisted for the Architizer Award! Designed entirely with Grasshopper3D, the project uses the tangents of helicoid curves to maximize off-the-shelf timber into an expressive installation. We stenciled 1,000 people's dream on the tangents for people to read as they climb and write on the structure.

I hope you can help us win this…

Hi Guys,

We're building a project for the fourth year in a row at the Burning Man festival in Nevada US this summer. Spreading the parametric spirit to the world! This would have never happened without your constant support since the very beginning so thank you so much.

The project this year is called Tangential Dreams, a curvy tower made of straight lines following the tangents of a sine curve. This allows us to use off-the-shelf timber, minimise wastes and…

Hi Guys,

Two of our Grasshopper-generated student projects at the University of Westminster got grants from the Burning Man Festival (Fractal Cult by Thanasis Korras and Shipwreck by Georgia Collard-Watson - renders below). The grants will cover material and fabrication costs but we still need help to…

Hi guys,

This post has nothing to do with the software but with the animal !
The Eastern Black Rhino is getting dangerously close to extinction, with only around 500 left in the wild.

Please help support the conservation effort by donating to this website:

Thanks a lot to everyone who helped on this… Continue

Hi guys,

I wanted to share with you the work of our unit which is now available at the AA book store or directly online: http://www.aaschool.ac.uk/PUBLIC/Main.aspx?sectionId=1&entryId=473



The work is very relevant for all GH users as we linked associative digital models to all sorts of environmental constraints and fabrication techniques.



We also tried to re-visit the idea of "ground" in Architecture and in the work of… Continue
