<p><a href="http://www.alexhogrefe.com/avanced-louver-system-using-ec/"><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.alexhogrefe.com/storage/louver_system_ectoect_banner_grasshopper.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1274193902498" alt="" /></span></span></a>This definition was developed for my final thesis project to generate a louver system based on functional requirements within the building. The performance was then tested in Ecotect.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.alexhogrefe.com/invertible-seating-grasshopper/"><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.alexhogrefe.com/storage/parametric_arena_seating_grasshopper_rhino.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1274193726538" alt="" /></span></span></a>A large part of my thesis design involved invertible arena seating with many moving parts. I used Grasshopper as a means to develop the seating testing clearances, site lines, and many other variables.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.alexhogrefe.com/generative-weave-grasshopper-r/"><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.alexhogrefe.com/storage/weave_grasshopper_generative.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1274113713184" alt="" /></span></span></a>This definition looks at taking any curved surface, and generating weaving geometry across it.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.alexhogrefe.com/parametric-skyscraper-grasshop/"><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.alexhogrefe.com/storage/parametric_skyscraper_grasshopper.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1274113808649" alt="" /></span></span></a>The parametric skyscraper uses Grasshopper to generate the entire structure. I was more or less just playing around with how complex I could get the definition to be. Still nothing compared to others I have seen online.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.alexhogrefe.com/generative-boxes-grasshopper-r/"><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.alexhogrefe.com/storage/box_generator_grasshopper.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1274113977638" alt="" /></span></span></a>My favorite definition to date, this definition generates box designs based on real boxes I crafted in the wood shop while in Grad school</p>
<p>&nbsp;<a href="http://www.alexhogrefe.com/polyline-attractor-grasshopper/"><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.alexhogrefe.com/storage/grasshopper_polyline_attractors_parametric_alex.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1274114185885" alt="" /></span></span></a>This definition extrudes geometry based on their proximity to a polyline attractor.</p>
<p>&nbsp;<a href="http://www.alexhogrefe.com/lofted-surface-paneling-grassh/"><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.alexhogrefe.com/storage/lofted_surface_paneling_grasshopper_definition.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1274114359999" alt="" /></span></span></a>Using a definition created by paramod, I wanted to see if I could edit the definition so that different panels could be combined to create a seamless surface</p>
<p><a href="http://www.alexhogrefe.com/geometric-transformation-grass/"><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.alexhogrefe.com/storage/geometric_transformation_generative_modeling_attractor_grasshopper.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1274114481354" alt="" /></span></span></a>This definition takes a cylinder and transforms it based on the location of objects moving around it.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.alexhogrefe.com/louver-orientation-grasshopper/"><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.alexhogrefe.com/storage/louver_orientation_attractor_point_grasshopper.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1274114568042" alt="" /></span></span></a>Louvers orient themselves towards multiple objects based on proximity. This was the stepping stone towards a definition used in my final thesis project</p>
<p>&nbsp;<a href="http://www.alexhogrefe.com/parametric-truss/"><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.alexhogrefe.com/storage/truss_exploration_grasshopper_test_parametric.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1274114688708" alt="" /></span></span></a>This was one of the first definitions from scratch I ever created. It looks at parametric control of a truss-like system.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.alexhogrefe.com/rhinogh/rss-comments-entry-7699823.xml</wfw:commentRss></item></channel></rss>
