Hi Stencil, the grotto model was done by Arup AGU, and they actually wrote a program specifically to solve that geometry. It's not an easy task because the type, position and rotation of each block depends on the other blocks. As such, you cannot simply solve the shape from left to right because then it wouldn't fit when it 'touches' itself again.
Since you can write your own programs inside Grasshopper, there's almost nothing you cannot do. The big question is not whether or not the software can do what you want, it's whether you can. Do you have good enough understanding of this problem to be able to sketch out the algorithm on a piece of paper? If not, then Grasshopper cannot help you. -- David Rutten da...@mcneel.com Robert McNeel & Associates On May 4, 12:51 pm, Stencil <kaat...@student.chalmers.se> wrote: > Hi, recently i stumbled in to these very inspiring forms created by > the Architects Aranda/Lasch: > > http://www.iconeye.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3... > > Of course, now I'm eager to learn moore about creating such forms, and > I imagine that this can be done in Grasshopper in some way.
