Introduction of the workshop:

COMPUTATIONAL THINKING: CORALLINE FORMATIONSThe language we use predetermines how neural connections are generated in our brain, structuring our logic and thoughts and therefore the way we understand the world around us. In the field of design, computational thinking is understood as a language that will generate a new way of conceiving and designing the geometries and spaces that describe an architectural design. This computational conception of design and architecture is subject to the extrapolation and rationalization of the dimensional parameters and the rules of geometric behavior that determine the possible results. By applying in parallel the field of biomimicry and computational protocols to architectural design, complex geometries inspired by the intrinsic rules found in nature are controlled by simple components or parameters.

What You’ll Learn?

Computational Thinking: Understand how computational thinking can reshape design processes and architectural concepts.
Biomimicry Integration: Learn to apply biomimicry principles to create complex geometries inspired by natural forms.
Basic Geometry Generation: Develop basic geometries using Voronoi distributions and custom mesh subdivisions.
Physical Simulations: Utilize Kangaroo for mesh relaxation and physical simulations to refine your designs.
Data Manipulation and Visualization: Explore data-driven techniques for geometry manipulation, volumetric modeling, and structural lattice generation using tools like Dendro and Pufferfish.

Methodology:

The main objective of the course is to develop a computational thinking methodology, incorporating concepts from the biomimicry field to be integrated into architectural design.Designing an architectural pavilion produced exclusively in Grasshopper, a script will be developed, starting with simple processes for the generation of the basic geometry, which through physical simulations and manipulation of geometry and data, can be transformed into an architectural space determined by an organic structural lattice inspired by corals.

The workshop focuses on the development of architectural solutions for complex geometries developed through simple processes for the generation of the basic geometry based on Voronoi distributions, the topological study and subsequent development through physical simulations, data manipulation and visualization, and the generation of structural lattices based on the obtained geometry.
