Learning Facades through Grasshopper

Here is an interesting tutorial that I found helps develop facades of a building easily using parameters. Changes are made simple by simply defining the curves and shapes added to the facade and including number sliders to create the dimensions and array of subtractions within the facade. At the end, the video shows how simply you can redefine these shapes or dimensions through these parameters.

Here is my demonstration of the facade, it was a quick and easy process.
The tutorial introduced different functions that we haven't learned in class, including Merge, Isotrim, Surface Box, Bounding Box for the shape to create the pattern, and Morph to tie it all together.
