“Geometry, the mother of architecture.” This phrase encapsulates the profound relationship between these two fundamental disciplines that have shaped our built environment for millennia.The question that intrigues us today is: What remains to be uncovered regarding geometry and its relation to design? And how are we meant to uncover it?We’ve dominated the two-dimensional world and explored the three-dimensional realm to an extent. The next step is to unveil a fourth-dimensional paradigm in which one design can create various outcomes. This workshop is aimed at finding conceptual freedom via parametric modeling. As we progress in this technological age, so must our thinking and approach towards architecture and design. This workshop will address how parametric software can be used as a methodological tool and how we can face new challenges.

Day 1 Program

Saturday · Oct 28, 2023

  • Software Basics & Fundamentals
  • Grasshopper Script Design

Day 2 Program

Sunday · Oct 29, 2023

  • Grasshopper Script Design
  • Q&A

The course’s main objective is to introduce participants to the world of parametric design using Grasshopper. We will build/model scripts from scratch, review the software’s fundamentals, and create a workflow based on design methodologies around parametric scripting.

The goal of the two-day workshop is for participants to leave with a strong understanding of how the software works and how it can be implemented into any project's design process.

Introduce Parametric Design: Teach fundamental principles and applications of parametric design using Grasshopper software. Master Grasshopper Basics: This workshop will equip participants with the skills to build and modify scripts from scratch, reviewing the software's key functionalities. Enhance Scripting Techniques: Advance participants' scripting abilities for more complex and dynamic architectural designs. Apply Conceptual Design Freedom: Explore how parametric design can lead to multiple design outcomes and innovate traditional architectural practices.

From Prompting to Spatial Directorship

This was one of the most immediately useful AI visualization workshops I have taken. Pouya’s workflow made a clear distinction between simply generating attractive images and actually directing AI with architectural intent. The strongest takeaway for me was the idea of spatial directorship: controlling camera, composition, materials, lighting, atmosphere, and design fidelity through a structured workflow rather than relying on unpredictable outputs. The progression from raw 3D views and sketches to refined hero images and cinematic sequences felt practical and transferable. For my AutoTroph work, this is especially valuable because it adds a much stronger communication layer to computational research. It gives me a way to translate complex generative ideas into images and motion without losing the architectural logic behind them.

Excellent Course for Architectural Competitions

A very useful and well-structured course that clearly explains how to use AI throughout the architectural competition process, from understanding and rethinking the brief to concept development, visualization, presentation boards, and final submission. I learned practical methods that can improve creativity, workflow, storytelling, and the overall quality of competition projects.
