Thornton Tomasetti’s CORE studio is pushing the boundaries of computational design, and at the center of their innovation is the ability to turn complex Grasshopper definitions into tools that anyone in the firm can use. In the last ShapeDiver interview, computational designer Eesha Jain shared how her team balances immediate project needs with long-term innovation, building workflows that impact projects across disciplines. A key part of this transformation is ShapeDiver, which allows them to deliver Grasshopper-powered applications as polished, browser-based tools.
With over 30 ShapeDiver apps already in daily use, CORE is saving engineers countless hours while opening new possibilities for structural design, optioneering, and client collaboration. Tools like Asterisk, their AI-powered structural optimization platform, now run in minutes instead of days, helping teams explore more options and make data-driven decisions early in the design process. For Rhino and Grasshopper users, this inside look is an inspiring example of how to scale automation and overcome bottlenecks.
