In the workshop, we’ll use practical methods to learn algorithmic design. The workshop requires a basic understanding of Grasshopper, and the level is intermediate, starting with simple examples and achieving complexity. Participants will learn different workflows in Grasshopper, use mathematical equations to design a surface, morphing geometries techniques, mesh tools in Grasshopper, recursive algorithms, design loops, and the use of voxel-based modeling tools.

The workshop will focus on using different Grasshopper plugin assets and 3d modeling techniques in a rational order to achieve complexity as long as having exact control over the final outputs. More specifically, participants will learn how to combine data management tools and mathematical and geometrical components in Grasshopper. At the end of the first day, through several examples, participants will be able to expand their algorithmic thinking skills and will learn how to design the process instead of designing the sheer output object.

The second day will be dedicated to recursive algorithms and volumetric modeling tools; participants will learn how to use the concept of loops algorithms to design complex geometries and produce generative design iterations using volumetric modeling tools.

At the end of this workshop, Participants will feel quite comfortable using Grasshopper and can design their algorithms instead of only following tutorials. They can use data management tools precisely and make combinations of different grasshopper plugins according to their design notions. They also will have a substantial understanding of mesh tools, volumetric modeling components, and recursive algorithms in Grasshopper.

A Strong Foundation for AutoTroph Computational Thinking This course was especially valuable for my AutoTroph research because it develops the kind of computational thinking needed to work with adaptive architectural systems. The progression from mathematical surfaces and data structures to recursive algorithms, meshes, and volumetric modeling shows how design can emerge from rules, relationships, and feedback. Rather than treating Grasshopper as a form-making tool, the workshop encourages participants to design the process itself, which closely aligns with my interest in architectures that can respond, transform, and evolve.

The Course is very easy and simple to follow. It unlocks the knowledge to relatively new grasshopper plugins such as Dendro, Weaverbird etc.. I do recommend for those who want to advance and excel in that field!

I really appreciated amir Hossein way of showing how GH code is developped based on an idea or concept !

I just wrapped up Advanced Grasshopper 1.0 — and it rocked! The course takes you beyond the basics of parametric modeling and dives into smarter 3D‑modeling tricks using Grasshopper 3D + Rhinoceros 3D. I learned to build complex surfaces, morph geometries, handle data‑trees, and even use recursive algorithms and mesh/voxel workflows to generate intricate forms. By the end I felt I wasn’t just following tutorials — I could think algorithmically and craft custom parametric setups. If you already know the basics of Grasshopper, this course is a brilliant step up.

Great information and examples, but should focus more on the logic behind each process

Yagmur

You can gain some familiarity without Grasshopper, but having it installed will enhance your learning with hands-on practice. If you can, it’s best to have it installed to get the most out of the course!
