Parametric Architecture Sweeping Stairs Design using Grasshopper for Rhino - Script and Tutorial



In this video, I demonstrate how to create a set of sweeping stairs from the bottom to the top, based on any base line segment. This video showcases how Grasshopper can be used to automate the creation of custom stair designs.


By starting with a base line segment and developing it into a detailed sweeping stair structure, I highlight key steps throughout the process. Learning to create custom scripts like this can transform your workflow. It allows you to apply any base line to create intricate architectural elements quickly, automating your designs and building a useful library of programmed steps. These can be used for future projects and shared with others who may want to apply different parameters.


If you're interested in automation, this video is a fantastic example of the power of parametric tools for architecture and engineering. Watching the video and trying out the script will give you practical experience and deepen your understanding of how these tools work. Let me know your thoughts! I hope to see you in the next video.

Parametric design and programming are game-changers for architecture and engineering. These tools boost skills and unlock advanced design techniques. They streamline workflows, encourage creativity, and adapt to various project needs. As the industry grows, parametric design will reshape how we do things. Learning these skills now sets you up for future success and keeps you ahead of the curve.


Parametric design uses algorithms to create complex structures and geometries. By setting parameters and rules, designers can create adaptable models that adjust quickly, leading to more efficient and innovative solutions.
