Parametric Adaptive Shell for an Autonomous Stock Handling Robot

Designed for a real-world logistics automation platform, this project explores how Rhino and Grasshopper can be used to develop adaptive industrial components that balance structural performance, mechanical constraints, ventilation, and manufacturability within a fully parametric workflow.

Aion: Turning History into Morphology 

Designed for Southeastern Louisiana University’s centennial anniversary, Aion transforms institutional memory into inhabitable geometry. Developed through Rhino and Grasshopper, the monument combines parametric thinking, site analysis, and fabrication logic to create a public installation where history, movement, and community intersect.

From Form-Finding to Fabrication: Pabellón Generativo Michoacán

A generative pavilion built in Morelia, Mexico, explores how form-finding, Voronoi-based segmentation, and digitally fabricated nodes can translate computational logic into a lightweight physical structure assembled from recycled CPVC components.

Call for Papers: CAGD Special Issue on Applications of NURBS in Architectural Geometry

 

The journal Computer Aided Geometric Design (CAGD) has announced a special issue on Applications of NURBS in Architectural Geometry, marking the 50th anniversary of Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS).

For five decades, NURBS have played a central role in geometric modeling, enabling designers, engineers, and architects to create and fabricate increasingly complex forms with precision and flexibility. From early freeform design exploration to today's integrated design-to-fabrication workflows, NURBS continue to underpin many of the digital tools used throughout the architecture, engineering, and construction industries.

This special issue celebrates the enduring impact of NURBS on architectural geometry and invites contributions that explore both their achievements and limitations.
