In the field of mathematics, a matrix is: “ a rectangular array of quantities or expressions in rows and columns that is treated as a single entity and manipulated according to particular rules .” This workshop will explore orthogonal, cubic, and rectangular geometrical systems using algorithmic software. We will delve into the fragmentation and deconstruction of volumes, surfaces, and line-work to create systems of grids and subdivisions. We will be working with recursivity, which involves the continuous multiplication and sub-division of geometry that leads to the creation of complex schematics. Such workflows may be helpful in engaging with urban contexts or tectonic particularities.
The software used in the course will be Rhino and Grasshopper with the plug-in Pufferfish and an introduction to Mandelbulb 3D.
Comprehend the manipulation of complex geometrical systems by operating on the parameters that drive the system.
Fluidly compose the aggregation of shifting grids and subdivided volumes as integrated schematics.
Understand the nature of Fractals in a more intimate sense and how they function and form.
The workshop will primarily focus on Grasshopper and the plug-in Pufferfish to explore geometrical operations. We will look at techniques that yield certain results as we work with specific geometric typologies. The geometric typologies that will be examined will be orthogonal, cubic, and rectangular geometrical systems. We will examine particular geometry operations, the grouping of geometric clusters, their scaling and dispersion, and the subdivision and isolation of specific components. We will also explore fractals' formation in the Mandelbulb 3D software. In Mandelbulb 3D, we will introduce the interface and basic formulas inside the software. We will also guide you through exporting your Mandelbulb 3D mesh into Rhino.

It was a creative exercise that I hadn’t done in years. Reconnecting with this type of exploration felt essential, as it opens new ways to approach architecture by experimenting with unique forms and concepts.
