For several years, Zach Kron ran a Parametric Pumpkin Competition from his blog Buildz. It was a fun thing to do leading up to Halloween and inspired a number of Revit addicts (and others) to submit fascinating entries that stretched the rather boring boundaries we usually associated with BIM.
I got involved around the third or fourth iteration of the competition and was greatly honoured to be named among the winners for 4 years in a row. Below are links to my four submissions, which form a series of sorts, although they are very different.
