COURSE INFO
Level > Intermediate. We recommend a basic level of Grasshopper and data list management. Please check our basic intro course (only in Spanish) HERE
Instruction Language > English (basic). The instructor speaks Spanish too.
Who is it for > Aimed to proffesionals or students in engineering, architecture, design and backgrounds related
Requirements > Rhino 6 or 7 for Windows. We will provide you with files and information before starting the workshop.
* For Mac users, some plugins might not be available.
Minimum number of students : 5
PROGRAM
The aim is, taking Grasshopper as base tool, to go further with the most popular and best rated apps in order to speed up processes and optimize geometries or calculations; a quite time consuming task to carry out without them. We will go through these plugins learning how they work, main features and advantages playing with practical exercises.
We will highlight key concepts in advanced design, architecture and engineering: topology, form-finding, structural optimization, fractals, loops, genetic and repetitive algorithms...
Also, we will see how to capture nice views and designs from your scripting, with a correct export option, animations...
STRUCTURE:
- Form Finding with particle simulation systems
- Flexible geometry: pneumatic structures, unrolled surfaces, origami...
- Patterns, panelization and textures
- Generative design
- Fractals, repetition, loops
- Algorithm growth simulation
- Generating genetic algorithms
- Mesh workflow and lattice structures.
- Data visualization
- Visualization techniques
Main plug-ins shown:
> Kangaroo: The most famous and downloaded app for Grasshopper (it is built in the current Grasshopper for Rhino). It is a live physics engine interactive simulation, optimization and form-finding directly within Grasshopper
> Galapagos: available in the current Grasshopper build, it is a platform for the application of Evolutionary Algorithms to be used on a wide variety of problems by non-programmers
> Biomorpher: Interactive Evolutionary Algorithms (IEAs) helping designers to explore the wide combinatorial space of parametric models without always knowing where you are headed.
> Anemone: works using repetitive algorithms to create loops or sequencial structures like those ones seen in fractals.
> Dendro: It provides multiple ways to wrap points, curves, and meshes as a volumetric data type, allowing you to then perform various operations on those volumes.
Based on the group dynamic and development of the sessions, other apps might be explained such us Weaverbird, Lunchbox, Firefly

FAQ
Is previous knowledge in Rhino or Grasshopper required?
We recommend a minimum level of Rhino3d (layers, simple geometry creation...). No previous knowledge of Grasshopper is required.
Are sessions recorded?
Sessions are live and not recorded. For a particular situation we might record some session and keep it during next 24 hours
How can I access the sessions?
You will access to the course platform. There you can download documentation, download files, go to the Zoom sessions and comment or ask questions using the panel discussions
