WS1 URBAN PAVILIONS - Grasshopper Advanced Design workshop with ecoLogicStudio

Can the dichotomy between obsessive tooling and strong design agenda be overcome? Can innovative software like Grasshopper be the ideal platform to marry computation, creativity and ecologic thinking? What can be done to accelerate the process? The workshop series will engage these questions introducing novel parametric modelling techniques in the context of architectural and landscape design; with Grasshopper as the main modelling platform participants will develop design proposals ranging from landscape remediation to housing prototypes to responsive envelopes; the events will be a platform for learning design techniques, testing new methods and debating their potential application or evolution. Architects, Landscape architects, Urban designers and students alike will find in the workshops a unique chance to improve their design skills while confronting themselves with the most debated advanced design subjects. Each event will involve 3-4 days of intensive design workshop with staff from experimental design and consultancy practice ecoLogicStudio, special support from Grasshopper developer David Rutten and a final panel-discussion with expert guests from the field of architecture, landscape and urban design.
