GUIDE BY NIDHI RATANI SHREYANSH BHANDARI
In this Design Course, We learn so many things like Computational Design, Artificial Intelligence, Rhino Software, Grasshopper Skills. In that we also get a chance to learn Digital Fabrication, 3d Printing, Laser Cutting & CNC with hands on experience.
CURVATURE FLOW
PERFORA VEIL CANOPY
BREEZEGRID ENVELOPE
SIGNATURE PROJECT
I initially created a furniture piece in Rhino using commands like Contour and Curves. My guide then reimagined this form as a building exterior, revealing its architectural potential. This transformation expanded my perspective, highlighting the versatility of parametric design in both furniture and architecture.After that we use midjourney as AI tool for render images.
The canopy design began with a single, distinct shape, which was later adapted into a perforated metal facade for the wall. By day, the facade casts intricate, shifting shadows, while at night, it unfolds into a glowing, illuminated feature, transforming the space with dynamic light and shadow interplay.
A large pavilion designed for an urban setting aims to create a distinctive silhouette among the skyscrapers. Crafted from steel and finished with a light wooden paint, it seamlessly integrates into its surroundings with contemporary flair. The pavilion features intricate lattice-work that allows filtered sunlight to create playful patterns on the ground throughout the day.A prototype, utilizing MDF material, was instrumental in visualizing both the aesthetic and structural effects. The design process employed Grasshopper scripts to generate the waffled structure, while Rhino’s subD tool facilitated the creation of its curvilinear shape. Parametric tools played a crucial role in refining the pavilion’s aesthetics and ensuring structural integrity, resulting in a final product that is both visually captivating and functionally robust
Our guide provided a 300x300mm space to explore light and form through shape manipulation. Each of us designed unique light forms, experimenting with different geometries. After completing our individual designs, we 3D-printed them and combined the pieces, creating a collaborative light bomb that unified our distinct creations into one cohesive structure.

Designed an innovative wall facade using Grasshopper script, incorporating parametric patterns for dynamic aesthetics and optimized environmental performance.
Designed a curved screen facade using Rhino, integrating fluid geometries with a seamless flow. The design enhances visual appeal while balancing light and shadow to create dynamic interactions with the surrounding environment.
Designed the Wavecrest Pavilion using Grasshopper script, featuring fluid, wave-like forms inspired by natural oceanic rhythms. The parametric design optimizes structural efficiency while creating an immersive, sculptural experience for users.
My journey through the Advanced Parametric Design course at Amor Institute has been transformative. Through Rhino, Grasshopper, and creative exploration with MidJourney, 3D printing, lassercutting, I designed dynamic facades, pavilions, and complex parametric structures. This experience has solidified my passion for pushing architectural boundaries through innovative, algorithm-driven design.
HAVE A NICE DAY
