Architectural design
through computation.
I'm Ahmad Alhadidii, an architect and computational designer based in As-Salt, Jordan. My work connects Rhino and Grasshopper, parametric geometry, architectural automation, and BIM workflows with architectural design.
01 / Scope
Computational design & architectural automation
I use computational methods to study architectural geometry, develop repeatable design workflows and connect different design tools. My focus is not only on generating forms, but also on making project information easier to manage, transfer and reuse.
Workflow automation
Reducing repeated manual steps in Rhino and Grasshopper projects, including organizing related model and definition files.
Parametric design
Developing and testing geometry through mathematical rules, parameters and visual programming in Grasshopper.
BIM interoperability
Exploring how geometry generated with Grasshopper can become editable architectural elements within Autodesk Revit.
Design research
Applying systems thinking, simulation and analytical workflows to architectural and human–machine research.
02 / Published software
RGLink — Rhino & Grasshopper workflow tool
I developed RGLink, a published plugin for Rhino that links one .3dm project with multiple Grasshopper .gh or .ghx definitions. The plugin provides a way to access the associated definitions from the Rhino project rather than repeatedly locating and opening separate files.
The RGLINK command is intended for projects that depend on several Grasshopper definitions. The initial public release supports Rhino 7 and 8, as described in the McNeel community announcement dated 28 August 2026.
03 / Documented work
Evidence from architectural projects
Grasshopper to Revit
During supervised training at BIM Lab in Amman, I used a Grasshopper-generated brick pattern in a Revit family as part of a residential BIM and documentation workflow.
Lemniscate of Bernoulli
A computational design study that evaluates a mathematical curve, constructs spatial points and develops architectural geometry through a Grasshopper definition.
ManMaTIC
Architectural research into the spatial organization of human–machine collaboration, oversight and applied integration, developed as a prospective institutional design in Aqaba.
Technical stack
Rhino 3D, Grasshopper, Autodesk Revit, Rhino.Inside.Revit and computational approaches to architectural design, documentation and visual communication.
