Monday, July 2nd, 2012



during the code to production workshop that we recently ran at the university of sydney (australia), students were led through a number of advanced geometry generating typologies such as networks, auto-organization and recursion.  within our design practice of urban future, we would generally develop recursive structural algorithms within grasshopper3d VB components.

a quick exploration and testing of the hoopsnake plugin developed by volatile prototypes allowed our students to intuitively create their own (advanced) recursive geometries within the simplest of grasshopper component streams.

below are a few simple hoopsnake flavours of previous urban future VB scripts:
