Hii, I study architecture and I really need help on making the Guggenheim Bilbao Museum by Frank Gehry in grasshopper for a school work. I don´t know if anybody had already done it:(
What have you tried so far @Gabriela_Roa_Sepúlve, where do you get stuck?
Hello
I don’t think Grasshopper is very useful for the main shape. Main shape is more an intend from a creator (the architect or you). Grasshopper has not creativity and for this type of project could surely be helpful for cladding, detail drawings … and surely a lot of thing but NOT creativity.
You can buy a Rhino model here

Maybe check out the movie Sketches of Frank Gehry - Wikipedia. It gives you an idea of how the volumes are created.
This one also offers some timeless insight:
The building was designed using physical card models, which were then carefully measured and rebuilt in CAD. That CAD work was cutting-edge for the time (they used specialist software from the world of aeronautics) but is now quite simple in Rhino or many other packages. There’s nothing parametric about the general shape at all, although you could use GH to automate the generation of the supporting frame.
