Help with Bamboo pavilion

I recently saw this project. I’ve been trying to do the geometry with grasshopper but it seems very complicated. I’m new here, I was wondering if someone could help me with this amazing project

Im using grasshopper

Hi @Paulina2 ,

Can you provide more details?
Do you have a starting shape/geometry you want to emulate this on?

Depends on your goal:
Are you trying to get something that resembles the example (easier) or actually digitally fabricate it (more involved)? If you’re after the visual aspect of it, it seems you can begin playing with a diagonally gridded object or a ‘net’ or ‘wave’ pattern. There are multiple examples of that online.

Looks like your paneling does not necessarily have to ‘follow’ the structure underneath - such is the case in the example you show where the panels are more like ‘scales’ of smaller size. To avoid a more cumbersome approach maybe consider Pufferfish as it has a Net On Surface component that could expedite your process given your starting shape is a surface that can work there.

Or this one for a more elaborate process:
