SPRING SPECIES _grasshopper workshop

The workshop will focus on minimal surface physical simulations and iterative subdivisions,with an in depth look at mesh construction and accurate topology development. It will follow various approaches of creating complex geometries with increased control and manipulation possibilities which are processed by a computational subsystem articulated by Rhinoceros 5 + Grasshopper 3D & Sub-Plugins.
We will explore the potential of design based on physical simulations with added interactivity and the formal expressivity of tensile membrane structures.
