Parametric Modulations LONDON - Rhino+Grasshopper3d+Maya

PARAMETRIC MODULATIONS_V2.0

Computational Design Workshop // MASTERING GRASSHOPPER3D & MAYA

Global Visiting School LONDON 2022

​

Level: [Basic + Intermediate + Advanced Tool-kits]

Tools: [Rhinoceros3D + Grasshopper3D + Maya + Advanced Plugins & Demo Toolkits]

​

​

// Level

Basic, Intermediate & Advanced

(Previous parametric design knowledge not obligatory - Studio is adaptive to basic & advanced users)

// Agenda

The workshop aims to provide a detailed insight to ‘parametric design’ and embedded logics behind it through a series of design explorations using Rhinoceros & Grasshopper platforms, along with understanding of data-driven design strategies. An insight to Computational Design and its subsets of Parametric Design, Algorithmic Design, Generative Design and Evolutionary Design will be provided through presentations, technical sessions & studio work. Studio work will be focusing on modulation of geometry and iterative form using Parametric Design methods that will lead to explorations of spatial geometries that can be articulated as architectural constructs or abstract artistic interventions. There will be a demonstration of Fluid Form Modelling using Autodesk Maya on Day03.

The 1st batch of workshop in London took place in January 2020 with an exploratory learning output for ~20+ participants that travelled from different parts of the world to be a part of 3-day workshop titled Parametric Modulations. V2.0 is the evolved workshop with new toolkit add-ons for the 2nd batch and demonstrative tools & examples for future use of participants to get a deeper understanding of Computational & Parametric Design. 

// Methodology

The 3-day studio / workshop shall focus on inculcating the following aspects as a part of curriculum:

• Computational Design Techniques & Parametric Design

• Data, Mathematics & Geometry

• Geometry Rationalization

• Iterative Form Development

• Digital simulation of forces

• Environmental Analysis (Tool-kits & Example files for future use)

• Collaborative Design Exercises to understand application of the learnt tools

• Documentation and Presentation

• Hands-on Demonstration of Maya (Polygonal Mesh Modelling)

• The workshop is suitable for beginners, intermediate as well as advanced users of these tools and very helpful for anyone planning to start their Masters in UK as this 3-day workshop would serve as a bootcamp to kick-start anyone's journey in Computational Design.
