Buildings? you mean ways to send BIM related meta-data to some BIM app? (like AECOSim, Revit or Allplan) ... and/or to bake GH created objects according to some BIM schema/discipline?

BTW2:

Since BIM would become obligatory in the near future (see for instance UK legislation) I would strongly suggest to carry BIM things using BIM AEC oriented apps (only 3 around, the ones already mentioned). Keep in mind that GH is a graphical editor and Rhino is NOT an AEC BIM app nor it would ever be.

Hi Francisco,

Unfortunately due to the competitive nature of the AEC industry, not too much is shared about application of software such as Grasshopper to project work.  

One that has explained the process in some detail is this project.

Another one that I know GH and the BIM link to Tekla was used a lot on (for the facade steelwork at least) is this.  Grasshopper can be used to generate BIM (including fabrication).

Stadia are also popular.

There is a lot of great work being done by many firms around the world and it's not just organic shaped buildings like the links above.  Hopefully as more and more complete construction, more details are known.  I'm sure you can find more examples such as the above (although searching for them isn't necessarily easy)

Hope this might help a little.  

Cheers,  

Jon

Not a huge collection, but at least some place to start http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/architecture-projects

Thank you so much to all, now I can start!

But perhaps my work is more focussed on a optimize energy in buildings

Thank you once more!
