The workshop is designed to provide a deep understanding of a professional workflow applicable to various scales and design contexts. Participants will learn how to create fully parametric-informed 3D models using Rhino and Grasshopper, which can efficiently improve the design processes from concept development to detailed facade design.
Develop a systematic approach to managing design complexity.
Utilize Rhino and Grasshopper for automated workflows and design iterations.
Familiarize yourself with Elefront and its capabilities for coordinating complex 3D models within the Rhino environment.
Implement techniques to embed information into geometries for enhanced coordination.
Split up the process into steps that multiple users can use for further development.
Integrate structural or functional considerations seamlessly into the design process.
Explore 3D facade detailing in a real case study.
We will adopt a hands-on learning approach tailored for intermediate to advanced Grasshopper users. While the exercise will provide a structured framework, participants will have the opportunity to personalize their designs and details based on their interests.
The workflow is split into steps of increasing complexity allowing participants to progressively build on their skills. Collaborative discussions and Q&A sessions will also help everyone to get a comprehensive understanding of this method. By the end, participants will have gained confidence in applying the same principles to different design goals and purposes.
This workshop will explore the key aspects of typical shell and core design, from geometry set out to facade detailing. This course will teach you how to manage design complexity by developing a BIM-like model within Rhino environment. Using Elefront, participants will learn how to combine geometric and non-geometric data and how to interrelate them to ensure a smooth transition across multiple design iterations and different levels of detail.
Storing metadata inside Rhino objects allows the splitting of a complex process into manageable parts, facilitating various users to use them for further development. With this approach, participants will also automate some repetitive tasks and minimize errors inherent in manual modeling.

Very informative course. Easy to follow, great for begineers.
Very insightfull course and workflow!
It's good education program!
Good for beginners
incredibly goood
The training was comprehgensive and engaging, offering a good balance of theoretical knowledge and practical application.
It is a great course.....
Great Course
Very Beneficial. Thank you so so much, Martina.
Great intro to Elefront and it's workflow afterall. But was hoping for more in depth explanation on elefront's component and their application.
