(Grasshopper Script & Rhino3D) Structure Palazzetto dello Sport// Case Study

(Grasshopper Script & Rhino3D) - Case Study - Structure Palazzetto dello Sport.

Palazzetto dello Sport in Rome is a work of Annibale Vitellozzi projected in 1956 in collaboration with Pier Luigi Nervi, which was built between 1956 and 1957 for the 1960 Olympics. The project consisted of a circular system of 60 meters in diameter.

The cover is made of reinforced concrete prefabricated modules and wedge-shaped. The architect Bruno Zevi compared the Mansion of the Pantheon, suggesting analogies and parallels with the building of Hadrian: based on the same premise Zevi noted that, where the Pantheon has a spherical shape, structure Nervi and Vitellozzi comprises a hemisphere in which light enters laterally and expands the ideal space, mitigating the monumental effect.

This digital package provides a fully editable Grasshopper script and a clean 3D model, giving architects, computational designers, and students an inside look at how to construct, analyze, and manipulate intricate lattice architecture in Rhino 3D.

What’s Included:

• Fully Parametric Grasshopper Script (.gh): Neatly organized, labeled, and customizable script generating the repeating honeycomb staircase lattice, radial symmetry, and tapering vertical profile.

• Complete 3D Model (.3dm / .obj / .fbx): Clean, high-precision surface and massing model ready for immediate visualization, site context rendering, or structural analysis.

• Script Walkthrough & Logic: Structured definition allowing you to tweak key variables such as floor height, radial segment counts, staircase dimensions, and structural thickness.

Ideal For:

• Architects & Computational Designers: Study modular structural logic and advanced parametric workflows for complex multi-level public spaces.

• Architecture Students: Perfect reference material for case studies, structural analysis, or parametric design assignments.

• 3D Visualizers & Artists: Fast-track your render setups with a ready-to-use, high-detail architectural centerpiece.

Key Features:

• Clean Geometry: Optimized surfaces with minimal control points for smooth performance and fast rendering.

• Fully Editable: Easily adjust parameters to create unique geometric variations or adapt the logic for your own design concepts.

• Plug-and-Play Setup: Compatible with standard Rhino 3D and Grasshopper setups (no external paid plugins required).
