Algorithmic Design in Grasshopper - Webinar

Algorithmic Design in Grasshopper | 2012 December 14 | 3:00 PM EST [-5 UTC]

Overview:
Algorithms are an integral part of working with Grasshopper, but how you approach their use will dramatically alter your creative process. This webinar will focus on creating algorithms using lists and transformations in Grasshopper, iteratively developing geometries inspired by nature. Through a series of short presentations and “live” case studies, learn strategies to discover forms that are defined by simple rules and incremental creation.

This webinar will last 2.5 hours including multiple open Q & A sessions. With two instructors offering guided curriculum and continuous support it is our goal to provide you with an in-depth and personal learning experience. A video of the webinar as well as instructor files will be uploaded after the broadcast – all participants will have unlimited access to the webinar content and this video online. Registration can be found below. We look forward to your participation!

Topics:

• What’s an algorithm and how do I define one?
• Isn’t Grasshopper already a “Graphical Algorithm Editor”? How is an Algorithmic Design different from Parametric Design?
• What is the difference between incremental versus all-at-once execution? What creative opportunities does each provide?
• I have a few simple transformations within my sketch. How can I compound them to discover new forms?
