The Brick Screen: A Parametric Reinterpretation of the Traditional Jali

The Brick Screen, designed by Muhammad Talha Muftee and Shaikh Abdul Basit for the Arts Council of Pakistan Karachi, reimagines the traditional jali through parametric design. Using Grasshopper, the architects combined local masonry craft and digital precision to create an environmentally responsive brick façade that has set a new precedent for computational design in Pakistan.

Rhino.Inside.Revit online workshop, December 10-12, 2025 (McNeel Europe)

Since 2009, numerous third-party plug-ins have aimed to improve interoperability between Autodesk’s BIM software Revit and Rhino/Grasshopper. Introduced with Rhino 7, Rhino.Inside.Revit significantly advances this integration by adding over 300 Revit-aware components to Grasshopper, enabling users to query, modify, analyze, and create native Revit elements directly within Grasshopper.

Rhino.Inside.Revit also provides a powerful translation API for building custom conversion workflows between Revit data and Rhino geometry and metadata. Its advanced geometry conversion API ensures accurate translation of complex Rhino shapes into Revit, and it is fully accessible through Grasshopper’s Python and C# scripting components.

In this workshop, Junghwo Park, BIM Manager at Doka GmbH, will introduce participants to Rhino.Inside.Revit, a powerful framework that integrates Rhino and Grasshopper directly within Autodesk Revit. Participants will gain a basic understanding of Rhino.Inside.Revit, learn about BIM management use cases, and explore parametric BIM workflows with Rhino.Inside.Revit and selected Grasshopper plugins for design automation.
