Morphogenesis Tools

A set of computational design tools for generating parametric morphologies — exploring the formal language of tensile structures, catenary curves, and NURBS surface generation.

Tools

Tensile Membrane Generator produces structurally informed fabric forms by simulating the equilibrium geometry of a membrane under tension. Useful for architectural canopies, shade structures, and material-efficient enclosures.

NURBS Surface Explorer enables interactive exploration of non-uniform rational B-spline surfaces — the mathematical basis for most smooth curves in CAD and computational design.

Both tools were developed in Grasshopper/Rhino as part of a broader investigation into morphogenetic programming: using computation to generate form through rule-based processes rather than direct modelling.
