About Parametric Design Modelling

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!

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.
