## About this course

In this workshop, we will use parametric design tools to prepare complex building components such as Organic walls, facades, and curvy floor plans for printing.

## What you'll learn

- Transformative Potential: Explore how 3D printing and additive manufacturing are revolutionizing architecture, enabling intricate designs to become tangible and sustainable.

- Parametric Design Tools: Learn to use parametric design tools like Grasshopper and Pufferfish to create complex building components, including organic walls, facades, and curvy floor plans.

- Hands-On Learning: Engage in practical sessions that combine lectures with software exercises, culminating in a live printing demonstration to showcase the design execution process.

- Collaborative Environment: Work independently on assigned projects while participating in discussions and sharing insights through a dedicated Discord server.

- Optimization for 3D Printing: Gain skills to prepare and optimize your designs specifically for the 3D printing process, unlocking the full potential of additive manufacturing in architectural design.

## Methodology

The workshop consists of a lecture, a software practical session, and a live printing session showcasing the execution process. While every student works independently on an assignment project, they are encouraged to share their knowledge and engage in discussions through the Discord server.
