Parametric Modeling in Grasshopper 1- Project Introduction In this project a parametric form including both mass and skin, for the chosen building, is created, using Rhino/Grasshopper functions and components. The driving parameters for the model are identified, organized and can be easily changed in Grasshopper through real-time interactions. This project has initially two phases: Phase A, parametrically remodel a previously modeled building. And phase B, comparing the remodeled Grasshopper algorithm with the previous algorithm. The comparison of the two models will show the importance and capabilities of the data structure. Being able to model with fewer nodes and using the right data structure will certainly improve the flexibility and efficiency of the model. 2- Building introduction: Bright Building TAMU campus, College Station, Texas Location:   30°36′5″ N   -   96°18′52″ W The building chosen for this project is the Bright building, locat
