In challenging times, there are still many ways to keep entertained and develop new skills while staying at home. As designers, we continue to share our passion and creativity with others, inspiring growth and learning.
As Eileen Gray said, “To create, one must question everything.” In this spirit, designers around the world are exploring new ways to broaden our minds, even while self-isolating. The team behind Parametric Architecture (PA) has dedicated itself to providing valuable resources, including expert interviews and webinars, to help us all grow through online learning.
That’s why Hamid Hassanzadeh, Founder of Parametric Architecture, and Arturo Tedeschi have collaborated to offer this online webinar on Parametric Computational Design with Grasshopper. Now available on our website!
Curve splitting and T-parameters
Mesh relaxation with Kangaroo

Arturo Tedeschi is an Italian architect and computational designer internationally renowned for his sculptural and visionary approach combined with research on advanced design methods, materials, and fabrication technologies. His use of digital technologies blurs the line between disciplines and emphasizes the semantic and emotional values of objects. As a consultant, he worked with some of the world’s most influential brands in fashion design, sportswear, automotive, and architecture, providing services related to algorithmic modeling, complex geometry, digital fabrication, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and data-driven design. His personal work has been featured in international magazines such as Forbes, Wired, Dezeen, AD, and Business Insider and exhibited worldwide. He is the author of the books Parametric Architecture with Grasshopper and AAD Algorithms-Aided Design unanimously considered one of the global references on the subject. Since 2011 he promoted and directed more than 200 events and workshops that trained a generation of students and professionals. In 2019 he was appointed Italian Ambassador for Design by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He lives and works in Milano, Italy.
Great tutorial
This webinar Parametric Design Modelling gave me a solid taste of parametric workflows in Grasshopper 3D (inside Rhinoceros 3D) — from splitting curves, mesh‑relaxation with Kangaroo, to grid‑to‑diamond pattern conversions and surface optimizations.  It’s short and beginner‑friendly (~2 hours), so it felt approachable even without heavy experience.  The pace is quick, but the hands‑on demos helped me wrap my head around parametric design logic. If you want to explore algorithmic design or start using Grasshopper without over‑complication, this course is a neat, efficient stepping stone.
I'm still new to the platform, however, it's super
good experience
Very intresting
amazing webinar
