Inspiring scenes from Day 1 of the “Advanced Grasshopper 2.0” workshop led by Amir Ghasemi.

This workshop explores various modeling methods in Grasshopper. It starts with an introduction to the data structure in Grasshopper, which is essential for the following steps. Next, it covers mathematical operations and equations in Grasshopper, with hands-on practice in modeling foldable surfaces and structures related to these operations. The workshop then moves on to physics and force simulations, providing examples of tensile and minimal surfaces. Mesh-based modeling plugins and strategies are included to design complex geometries and create morphing surface patterns.

📚Located in the Guangzhou, China the Library in the Valley by the Design Center of Haoyuan Group was completed in 2021. Designed to inspire vitality and reflection, this 500 m² structure draws inspiration from the elegance of a tango, symbolizing passion for life.

The design features a 24-meter-tall straight wall paired with a flowing roof that transitions gracefully from horizontal to vertical. Built with as-cast finish concrete, the project highlights precision craftsmanship, including a hyperboloid roof shaped using advanced CNC technology. A narrow slit allows sunlight to flood the interior, creating a tranquil, cathedral-like atmosphere for reading and reflection, making the library a spiritual and architectural centerpiece of the community.✨

Designed by UDG Atelier Alpha, the Panda Tower is a new cultural landmark for the giant panda Breeding’s new site. Integrating observation, exhibition, and sightseeing, the building serves as a piece of art that celebrates the union of nature and technology.

The tower draws its inspiration from bamboo shoots which are widely distributed in the Sichuan-Chongqing area. The 11-story-high structure of the tower contains large observation platforms facing the conservation park’s center at each level. The floor slabs and buttresses are completely exposed due to the lack of curtain walls and gratings.

The Tree and the Truss, designed by the 2022–24 cohort at the Architectural Association School of Architecture, is an experimental timber structure that redefines sustainable architecture at Hooke Park. Completed in 2023–24, it uses locally sourced timber, including beech bifurcations for columns and branches for trusses, maximizing resource efficiency.🎋

The project features a cedar foundation, tree columns, CNC-milled glulam connections, and composite trusses. Combining craftsmanship, robotics, and ecological sensitivity, it showcases new possibilities for timber architecture.✨

🔗Atyrau Bridge, designed by New Moon Architects, exposes an iconic charm in the historic city of Astana, Kazakhstan. Composed of parametric and computational tools, two and a half thousand individual facade pieces of its shell weave the shelter of the public space and give a sense of place.

The curvy design form and facade symbolize the Atyrau region’s unique endemic–the Caspian Sturgeon. It stands out as a popular tourist destination and evokes a dramatic expression as strolling through its evolving facade panels. The design comprehends a wavy flow as the sea wanders in ripples and echoes through the voids and into the bridge walkway.🪢
