StudioFG is currently looking for participants in the cultural sector to participate in a research for Exhibition Information Model under the name Gallerbee. Gallerbee is an investigation into the potential of a database and computational design for Graphic, Spatial and other types of design in the exhibition world & museums. Curious?

About StudioFG
StudioFG is specialized in computational design and 3D visualization. Owner Friso Gouwetor teaches part time at TU Delft and works freelance on a variety of projects that require parametric design solutions and advanced digital modelling. Friso is an expert in computational design using Grasshopper and Rhino3D. With his background in architecture and programming, he is able to create customized parametric design solutions.
Something bigger in mind? StudioFG has access to a broad network of technical specialists that can collaborate as needed.
For more information, please feel free to contact me directly.
Computational design
Optimize your design using parametric tools and data-driven technology. StudioFG is specialized in creating custom parametric solutions for a wide variety of projects.
3D printing / robotics
With more than 10 years of CADCAM experience, StudioFG can also assist in the realization of complex 3D-printing and robotic design projects.
Teaching / Workshops
Friso Gouwetor has years of experience teaching parametric design at the TU Delft. Hire StudioFG to teach Grasshopper and other parametric design software in your office.
3D Visualization
Already have a design in mind? Let StudioFG transform your vision into a professional 3D visualization that can be used for project proposals, museum and exhibition design, and more.
Past and current projects
Image tracer with pattern options
Grasshopper3D can also be used for graphic design, i.e. parametric graphic design for 2-dimensional applications. This post is about building an image tracer based on brightness and contrast.
Preliminary research Gallerbee
In exhibition design and experience design, the subject is leading and the design is supporting. Based on this philosophy, a parametric approach is appropriate: namely, a strategy in which data from the objects determines what the design looks like by means of algorithms. This could be, for example, a graphical timeline generated automatically from the…
Grasshopper game: DragRace with Firebase
When teaching Grasshopper, it is sometimes nice to take a slightly different approach. For example in the form of a game. DragRace is about uploading scores to an online database and trying to win with the fastest score!
Teaching in the Corona era
My brilliant colleagues at TU Delft were faced with the challenge of switching a subject for hundreds of students to 100% online education in just a few days. With their experience in the gaming world, they came up with the idea to apply Discord in education. Discord is an all-in-one voice and text chat for gamers.
Automatic generation of cut-lines for a boat cover
For sailmaker Houtkoop.nl StudioFG has developed several scripts to automatically generate drawings for hems and other fabric parts. Read here about this project.

eCAADe Workshop
Together with Serdar Aşut and Jerzy Latka StudioFG organized an eCAADe workshop. Design Express / Vectorworks sponsored the event financially and provided the Marionette software (part of Vectorworks). Using a flexmold and PETG panels we created double curved panels. Sponsor: Design Express / Vectorworks. Conference: eCAADe 2018 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Q3X1OlKxj4 This 360 video shows the end of the workshop where the participants…
Museum Harderwijk
These renderings were made in the preliminary design phase for an exhibition in the Stadsmuseum Harderwijk. The exhibition design was by XPEX Amsterdam.
Computational design pavilion with the TU Delft
With great pleasure we again teach the course Technoledge in which we realize a pavilion together with master students of TU Delft and PWR Wroclaw from design to realization in 7 weeks. The basis for the production is the parametrically controllable flexmould. Setting up the flexmouldLight on the back of the pavilionPavilion in the makingWorking…

Design and realization 60 m showcase
Commissioned by XPEX Amsterdam, StudioFG collaborated in the design and realization of on of the longest display cases in the Netherlands for a hand made 60-meter carpet. More about the project: Stichting de Flevowand StudioFG also provided the renderings for the project. The total display case eventually had a length of 60 meters and was…
