Assignment 1 - Sydney Opera House (Introduction to Rhino) As an introduction to Rhinoceros 3D we were asked to quickly model Sydney Opera House using multiple tools learned during the introductory lectures to modeling in Rhino.

Assignment 2 - Grasshopper Project 1 (BASICS) After a serious of Introductory lectures to Grasshopper a graphical algorithm editor tightly integrated with Rhino’s -3D modeling tools. We were asked to write a definition for a parametric object. This was my first attempt in using the newly acquired tools. Grasshopper Definition

Assignment 3 - Grasshopper Project 2 Using Grasshopper I tried to create a parametric definition for a furniture piece exploring the potential of parametric tools in industrial design and product manifacturing. The definition utilizes both Rhino tools and Grasshopper for the final model. Grasshopper Definition

Assignment 4 - Grasshopper Project 3 This definition uses Attractor points in creating a shop front installation, The attractor point set the the radius of the spheres and the rotation of square frames distributed equally on a rectangular grid. Grasshopper Definition

Assignment 5 - Grasshopper Project 4 This exercise aims to use Grasshopper surface morphing tools to create a lamp or a lighting fixture, by alternating two different objects for the morphing process on a parametric elliposoid.

Assignment 7 - Grasshopper Project 6 This exercise aims to create a vortex tensegrity structure using Kangaroo and Grasshopper. I was inspired by Kenneth Snelsons sculptures and in particular the vortex experiment in simulating this model. Grasshopper Definition

Assignment 8 - Grasshopper Project 7 This definition uses galapagos to maximize the projection area of a relaxed mesh canopy, Both Kangaroo and Galapagos were used in order to create the mesh then maximize the value of its projection area thus changing the values of the forces applied to the mesh in order to optimize the form of the resulting surface.
