One Computational System, Two Architectural Elements

Developed through a shared computational system in Rhino, Grasshopper, and GhPython, a staircase and a series of lanterns translate the same sine- and cosine-based logic into two distinct architectural elements. Designed by Sofia Michopoulou for Aegean Landmark in Athens, the projects explore how controlled geometric variation can move from parametric modelling to CNC fabrication.

Emergentia Pavilion: Modular Architecture Grown Through Cellular Automata

Emergentia Pavilion is a conceptual architectural study by Sukriti Ambasht that turns cellular automata into modular spatial form. Rhino, Grasshopper, Python, Kangaroo, and C# connect the pavilion’s geometry, proposed assembly, and algorithmic lighting.

From 17,000 Pixels to 13 Comb Variations: A Façade Rationalised in Grasshopper

For This Is The Place in Mumbai, Rhino and Grasshopper helped turn a façade conceived as approximately 17,000 individual pixels into a buildable system of just 13 comb variations, linking artistic intent, panel organisation and fabrication drawings.

Morphé - Advanced implicit & voxel-based modelling into grasshopper

Metamorphic AM has launched Morphé, a new Rhino 8 plugin bringing implicit modelling, voxel processing and vector-field tools directly into Grasshopper, allowing engineers to create and rework complex geometry without breaking the parametric workflow.

Morphé addresses a growing Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) challenge. Conventional CAD excels at traditional geometry but can struggle with complex lattices, merged channels, graded structures, conformal forms and designs driven by simulation data. Specialist tools can handle such geometry, but moving downstream often breaks the connection between the final shape and the engineering logic that generated it.

Morphé keeps that connection intact.

Its implicit engine enables robust unions, intersections, shells, offsets, blends and complex custom lattices. Its voxel capability supports smoothing, filleting, repair and reworking of meshes and scan data into watertight solids. Vector fields allow stress, temperature, pressure, flow and other measured or simulated information to influence geometry directly.

All three capabilities interoperate within one Grasshopper graph, supported by live GPU preview, sectional viewing and regional cropping.

Laurence Coles, Metamorphic Co-founder and Mechanical Design Lead, says: “The answer is not another environment in which to finish geometry. It is putting robust modelling capability where the engineering logic already lives.”

Morphé grew from Metamorphic’s own technically demanding work in quantum sensing, bioprocessing and optomechanical systems. As Co-founder and Computational Design Lead Manolis Papastavrou explains: “Morphé grew from real projects rather than a feature checklist.”
