PEOPLE and COMMUNITIES
- CurvedFolding: “a place where we can work together towards an open CAD standard, initially based on a quad-mesh geometry, for representing and modelling curved folding geometries…and show what we have crafted in paper, modelled in CAD and then fabricated”
- LiveComponents-NY: Blog by Seoul-based architect Hyoung-gul Kook; wide range advanced Rhino/Grasshopper-folding-related work; shares step-by-step tutorials on how to re-make GH definitions
- Space Symmetry Structure: Blog by London-based architect Daniel Piker; wide orange of advanced Grasshopper and Kangaroo definitions for attractors, origami, etc.
- Brian Chan: “the maker of anything” including a range of origami projects
EXAMPLES for RHINO and GRASSHOPPER
- Cairo Patterns: transforms a surface into 4 or 5 sided Cairo Patterns
- Paper Fold: models simple folding of a single plane of paper [look for “paperfold.ghx”]
- Rigid Origami Folding: models the folding action of a strip of paper
- Origami pyramid: models the folding action of a flat plane into a pyramid [look for “origamipyramid.ghx”]
- Origami 4 point Star: fully models construction of a fourpoint star in Grasshopper [look for “Origami4PointStar.ghx”]
The Grasshopper and Rhinoscript examples from class are here.
