Applied Parametric Design with Grasshopper 3d

The workshop on Applied Parametric Design serves as an introduction and immersion into the world of associative design with McNeel’s Rhinoceros and Grasshopper software. Rhinoceros is an advanced Nurbs modeller. Grasshopper is an associative modelling plugin for Rhinoceros that allows us to parametrically define the logics of our model in order to explore variations and optimized solutions. These two tools are a powerful combination for any architect, designer, engineer, professional or student who is interested in exploring how parametric design can benefit their workflow.
This workshop is part of BADRx Computational
Workshops Series.

PREREQUISITES:
Workshop participants should have a familiarity with CAD software, 2D drafting, and 3D modelling.

SOFTWARE:
Rhinoceros 5.0 and Grasshopper (links to trial versions of the software will be made available to the workshop participants). Participants are asked to install the software prior to attending the workshop. Technical support will be provided prior to the workshop to facilitate software installation.
