The workshop focuses on generative algorithms in Grasshopper3D and their applications in designing deployable and transformable structures. Using Kangaroo3D and Karamba3D plugins, we will simulate and analyze the kinetic behavior of these structures.

  • 01

    Utilize generative algorithms in Grasshopper3D for designing deployable structures.

  • 02

    Apply Kangaroo3D and Karamba3D plugins to simulate and analyze kinetic behaviors.

  • 03

    Create three types of deployable structures: technical origami, inflatables, and spatial linkages.

  • 04

    Develop your own deployable space-habitat concept with personalized feedback.

  • 05

    Engage in group discussions to review and enhance design concepts collaboratively.

Day 1 Program

Saturday · Feb 18, 2023

  • 30min – Introduction
  • 1h – Space architecture lecture
  • 3h – Technical tutorial

Day 2 Program

Sunday · Feb 19, 2023

  • 1.5h – Technical tutorial
  • 2h – Individual tutoring
  • 1h – Project review

 

Designing deployable habitats is not only practical for transportation by rocket or helicopter but also leads to innovative and mesmerizing kinetic designs that fold, inflate, and expand in unique ways. Participants will learn how to use computational strategies to create three types of deployable structures: technical origami, inflatables, and spatial linkage mechanisms.

 

Under the guidance of Karl-Johan, you will have the opportunity to develop your own deployable space-habitat concept and receive one-on-one feedback. At the end of the workshop, we will review and discuss the concepts as a group. Experience with Rhino and Grasshopper3D is expected.

Great!

Such an amazing topic but was expecting a lot more. The script building example could have focused on buidling different typesd of Origami rather than focusing purely on space structures. Nonetheless an OK to good course.
