Sketching under Building Regulations
At the initial design phase of an apartment project in İstanbul, Nilüfer Kozikoğlu (TUŞPA Architecture) has offered me a job I haven’t done in Grasshopper before. This definition includes a sketch of a possible apartment renewal, analyzing and optimizing data from the contractor’s and property owners’ perspective. It also checks if the proposed solution is appropriate according to the building regulations for that area. In Turkish, KAKS means the maximum total floor area / land area, and TAKS means building base area / land area. All data input are parametric, so this solver can be implemented in most of the situations (except that the shape of the land area is not rectangular). Also Nilüfer asked for an addition that declares the different floor types, lofts with two storeys and green gardens that also have to be calculated.

Quantity Surveyor
February 26, 2024
This work emerged out of necessity. In the design and application process of wooden frame structures, where we put thousands of pieces together like a puzzle, the issue of preparing and updating quantity and measurement lists requires the most effort. Hours spent on this and the possibility of making mistakes are very high. However, with the Quantity Surveyor I developed in Grasshopper, you can generate measurement lists almost in real-time. All that needs to be done is to model each…
Tensile Fabric with Kangaroo
September 25, 2026
How much work we did last year for first-year architectural education! The tensile fabric study we carried out using Grasshopper Kangaroo in “Design Computing”, a first-year course I coordinated alongside my colleague Serkan Uysal, served as a baseline for the material research addressed in the Basic Design studio at that time. Such geometric optimizations in Kangaroo are no longer surprising or novel to anyone. However, experiencing these tools and possibilities in architectural education in the very first year offers a…
Generating Harmonic Motion
September 21, 2026
While trying to program the curves produced by Spirograph toys in Grasshopper, I took a slightly different path. The topic eventually led to a broader heading: harmonic motion, and from there, to the Fourier Series we looked at previously. This simple Python code models Fourier Synthesis, driven by circles of different radii in a very straightforward way. The Python component sets up a loop that calculates the effect of each circle to the x and y values, individually. In this…
Curvature Map on Terrains
September 17, 2026
This is the last of the site analysis tools we previously used in the midterm project of first-year architecture education. As you may recall, we previously introduced a tool that generates topographies based on specific parameters. Afterward, we examined two tools that perform slope and flow analyses on these topographies. Today, we are presenting a tool that analyzes curvature. This topic actually constitutes one of the interesting intersection points between architectural design and differential geometry. Curvature is not something architects…
Cantellation of Polyhedra
September 16, 2026
This project randomly stole an entire evening of mine. I didn’t know what the cantellation operation was. After doing some research, I realized it mirrors the process of the dual operation we had previously performed with polyhedra. It turns out to be the process of turning edges into new faces. I started looking for ways to do this in Grasshopper without using ready-made add-ons that include this and similar operations. As always, I had to solve many interesting geometry and…
