Computational Process in Architecture

INTO FabLab is hosting a 5 day workshop on Computational Process in Architecture using Grasshopper as a design thinking tool. The workshop aims at Architects and aspiring masters students who are interested in specializing in the field of Computational design.

The workshop will help understand how Grasshopper facilitates during the design process allowing one to Generate, Automate and Manipulate data.
