Spherical Attraction
Today’s Architectural Geometry course was about platonic solids and different attractor objects in introducing component-based design systems. Benay’s idea was both pedagogical and interesting to test in Grasshopper. I searched for the most fundamental type of attractor solid in creating a composition such as this;
There is a subdivided sphere and an attractor sphere. The pull component works great here. You may use multiple attractor solids or different shapes such as platonic solids as attractors. It is quite an easy and funny definition to play with and to tell students about fundamental concepts of associative geometry.
I installed Rhino 5 90-day evaluation and used Grasshopper for the first time on it. I’ll use the same version from now on. I have to check old posts if they are compatible with current Rhino and Grasshopper.

Campanus Sphere
October 9, 2026
I want to introduce a concept I came across the other day, one I had never heard of before, along with a few fantastic websites. The Campanus Sphere is essentially a rather crude spherical representation, the kind I’m used to seeing in (very old) computer games, and it also makes a nice nod to 80s disco culture. I also recall that in many older CAD software packages, spheres and sphere-related Mesh objects were represented as polyhedra using this method. However,…
Spherical Cycloid
April 2, 2024
Today’s beautiful curve is the spherical cycloid. It is a cycloid, rolling on a 3d circular path rather than a straight and 2d one. There are algebraic explanations of this curve. Therefore, I find it interesting to experiment with them, since it is more interesting than the regular planar cycloids, epicycloids, and hypocycloids. This curve is believed to have been studied first by Jean Bernoulli in 1732. The interesting and playful part of this is the resulting curve is always…
Fibonacci Sphere
April 12, 2023
This website explains the problem and several solutions. I managed to implement the formulas to convert a 2D square grid into spherical coordinates. The Fibonacci Sphere is one of the solutions to the equal distribution of points on a sphere. It is not the best solution to this problem. But it is regarded as a quick and efficient one. Suitable for me. I developed this Grasshopper code by studying the above website and some other sources. The code starts with…
Eschers Tessellations
March 29, 2012
After Puzzling, I tried to establish more of Escher’s basic grid transformations using Grasshopper’s native components. This definition simulates Escher’s transformation of four-cornered grids. The postulate is based on the fact that every quadrilateral (or triangular) planar shape can create regular tessellations without gaps or overlaps. In the traditional method, this tessellation is achieved by rotating the shape 180 degrees and copying afterward. However, in Grasshopper we simply define the fifth point for each shape and divide subsurfaces into four…
Field Deformation
October 8, 2026
Ever since I restructured designcoding, I’m still sorting through the trash folder. All 580 posts published on the blog have been reviewed, and their files have been uploaded as open source. The mysterious trash folder, where I couldn’t even tell where things belonged, is shrinking fast. While checking this folder yesterday, I found a video. This is probably a simple tutorial I prepared about 10 years ago for the parametric modeling elective course (probably related to this 2012 post). The…
