Modeling 3D Patterns with Rhino Grasshopper
Surfaces
A course by Arturo Tedeschi , Architect and Computational Designer
About the video: Surfaces
Overview
“After the curves, the journey will continue with a quick overview of the surfaces in Grasshopper, as well as an insight into the concept of UV space. ”
In this video lesson Arturo Tedeschi addresses the topic: Surfaces, which is part of the Domestika online course: Modeling 3D Patterns with Rhino Grasshopper. Learn algorithmic modeling to create 3D patterns for fashion, jewelry, or architecture, from the initial concept and design to the final file for 3D printing.
Partial transcription of the video
“Surfaces In this lesson I will introduce you to the essential tools for the management of surfaces in Grasshopper, fundamental theme for the development of the final project, such as Loft surfaces and Boundary Surfaces. Let's begin. I'll start with one of the simplest components, namely Boundary Surface. The component, given a closed and planar curve, which can be developed in Rhino or Grasshopper, creates a surface inside it. I take myself to Rhino, draw a flat rectangular curve, the amount within Grasshopper, right button, Set one Curve and I connect the Curve component to the Edges input...”

A course by Arturo Tedeschi
Arturo Tedeschi is an architect and computational designer who lives and works in Milan. After studying architecture in Naples, he went on to work in multiple architecture and interior design studios. He later discovered algorithmic modeling, which combines his two greatest passions: programming and design.
Driven by his fascination for this branch of modeling, he became a self-taught expert on the subject and even wrote a book about it called Architettura Parametrica – Introduzione a Grasshopper, which has seen success in the form of new editions, a translation into English, and multiple printings. Since then, he's been traveling around Italy sharing his knowledge with students and providing consulting services for businesses, architecture studios, and universities.
