Event Description

Thinking Grasshopper Workshop . 20 Hours.

University of Alicante / SPAIN

Let's think in grasshopper, from scratch, in a creative way, but sharp and accurate at the same time, in a contemporary architectural context.

We will work with 5 projects that meet the conditions to be re-thinked nowadays in parametrical terms. { FOA : World Trade Center / MAD OFFICE : 800M Tower / TOYO ITO : Relaxation Park / FOSTER & PARTNERS : Gherkin Tower / FREE : Soumaya Museum }

We will produce dynamic objects defined by parameters and modified in realtime.

We will learn to discretize, facet and panel in a non homogeneous way.

We will work with restrictions to determine our shapes, obtaining unpredictable results.

And we will take the control of what we produce : by measuring , visualizing and optimizing our parametric forms.
