Solander 38: Rhino as the Common Language of an Evolving Vessel

Solander 38 is a self-sufficient, solar-electric cruising catamaran developed through an unusually collaborative design and build process. At its center, an evolving Rhino model became a common language between designers, builders, fabrication workflows, construction drawings; and eventually an interactive digital record of the vessel itself.

Godzilla: From Form-Finding to a Built Gridshell

A research team at the University of Tokyo transformed a NURBS-based form-finding workflow into a full-scale fabrication and assembly system for a complex gridshell. Developed with Rhino, Grasshopper, and the custom Godzilla plugin, the project connects computational geometry directly with planar fabrication, student-led assembly, and real-world structural constraints.

S·O·S, Skin of the Sky: Connecting Voices, Lightning, Sound, and Light Through Rhino and Grasshopper

For Nuit Blanche 2026, artist Marie-Luce Nadal transformed a Parisian church into a living map of human wishes and atmospheric events. Rhino 8 and Grasshopper became the central coordination environment connecting the venue’s geometry with 80 loudspeakers, 43 lighting fixtures, spatial audio, and real-time lighting previsualization.
