RAMBOLL - Computational Design












"In recent years the tools used by engineers and architects to design buildings have changed. Influenced by developments in advanced 3D modelling, material science and automated fabrication designers are now harnessing the power of the computer to explore the world beyond the boundaries imposed by traditional design approaches."

AssemblageWorkshop











"Assemblage Workshop is the collected works of Dino Rossi. The term “assemblage” was very intentionally chosen for its generality. This generality relates to both the wide range of materials worked with (all materials are open for use), and a world view in which everything can be perceived on some level as an assemblage of materials and relationships."

DATA ANIMAL









"The Grasshopper plug-in for Rhino has an amazing capability to link many disperse territories of design practice. This weblog is a collection of tutorials and annotated grasshopper definitions that explain the particular tools that are useful for linking grasshopper to data. These connections are often easy to accomplish.  It is only necessary to gain an awareness of a few simple tricks and tools.

Here you will find grasshopper definitions and tutorials for three data territories: importing tabular data from internet sources, connecting to live internet data feeds, and bringing data from simulations into grasshopper."

Rhino Grasshopper Controller - Android app














Interesting Android app developed by Sam Bernaerdt

'The Rhino Grasshopper Controller sends all the sensor information from your device directly to Grasshopper. From there you can do with it whatever you want and control your geometry with gravity, rotation, light or touch input...
It sends all that data via Wifi to your network and uses the gHowl plugin to read it back in.'

KiwiViewer app











'KiwiViewer is a free, open-source visualization app for exploring scientific and medical datasets that runs on Android and iOS mobile devices with multi-touch interaction. KiwiViewer supports a variety of file formats, including obj, stl, ply, and vtk. Datasets may be loaded into KiwiViewer from the SD card, email attachments, or DropBox, or downloaded from a URL.'

Starling - Grasshopper plug-in












Starling is a new and very interesting grasshopper plug-in developed by Mateusz Zwierzycki.

'Starling mesh tools. These components enable mesh parametrization, so it behaves like a surface - you can evaluate points at any place etc. Is it accurate ? - not at all, but give it just a minute and you'll probably fall in love. Mesh morphing, remeshing, smooth curves evaluation (see group image), 3d convex hull and last but not least - slFastMesh - which will enable you to stop thinking about meshing parameters and start playing.'
