Free Grasshopper Files: Computational Design Library (Brendan Harmon)
Original title: Computational Design Library (Computational Design for Landscape Architects)
Overview
The Computational Design Library is an MIT-licensed GitHub repository by Brendan Harmon of Louisiana State University with 34 Grasshopper definitions and Python scripts for his book Computational Design for Landscape Architects; no Rhino version is stated. Organized by chapter, it covers random paving, cellular rockery tessellations, point-cloud planting, random groves, wave surfaces, terrain and more, using random and Gaussian distributions, tessellation and point clouds, with some definitions relying on GhPython scripts that are included.
Everything is a free direct download as a repository zip or as individual .gh and .py files. A rare, well-organized resource for landscape architects learning computational design.
