Rafail Konstantinidis

computational designer

Computational designer, artist, and writer working where parametric architecture, AI, and conceptual art meet. I build systems like GenXDefinition (GXD) and fabrication-aware components that translate design intent into code, so deployable structures, FFE, architecture, and interactive installations remain iterative workflows instead of static objects.

Treat every project as a lab; test ideas until they become prototypes, tools, and usable systems.

GenXDefinition · Custom GPT specialized for Grasshopper

Prompt-to-Parametric Design on Demand

GXD turns text prompts into full Grasshopper C# that assembles definitions—linking conceptual intent with parametric logic and fabrication-aware geometry.

GXD parses natural language prompts into Grasshopper geometry pipelines, keeping parameters editable for iteration.

Rapidly prototype deployable structures, facades, and FFE systems. Describe behavior (“organic facade with panels”) and receive parametric definitions you can tweak, annotate, iterate, and reuse.

Encode design experiments as reproducible pipelines with iterative variations and component ablations. Structure prompts to document computational design research without rewriting code.

Generate fabrication-aware definitions with consistent bar lengths, hinge logic, nested data trees for CNC/FDM export, and clear parameter ranges for testing and assembly.
