## About this course

The workshop will provide a unique experience of different 3d modeling strategies in Grasshopper, using various parametric design tools and approaches.

## What you'll learn

- Algorithmic Design Fundamentals: Gain a solid understanding of algorithmic design principles and how to apply them in Grasshopper.

- Advanced Workflows: Explore various workflows, including mathematical surface design and morphing geometries techniques.

- Data Management Skills: Learn to effectively manage data within Grasshopper, enhancing your ability to create complex designs.

- Recursive Algorithms & Volumetric Modeling: Master recursive algorithms to generate complex geometries and produce innovative design iterations.

- Plugin Integration: Develop proficiency in using various Grasshopper plugins to expand your design capabilities and refine your creative process.

## Methodology

In the workshop, we’ll use practical methods to learn algorithmic design. The workshop requires a basic understanding of Grasshopper, and the level is intermediate, starting with simple examples and achieving complexity. Participants will learn different workflows in Grasshopper, use mathematical equations to design a surface, morphing geometries techniques, mesh tools in Grasshopper, recursive algorithms, design loops, and the use of voxel-based modeling tools.


The workshop will focus on using different Grasshopper plugin assets and 3d modeling techniques in a rational order to achieve complexity as long as having exact control over the final outputs. More specifically, participants will learn how to combine data management tools and mathematical and geometrical components in Grasshopper. At the end of the first day, through several examples, participants will be able to expand their algorithmic thinking skills and will learn how to design the process instead of designing the sheer output object.


The second day will be dedicated to recursive algorithms and volumetric modeling tools; participants will learn how to use the concept of loops algorithms to design complex geometries and produce generative design iterations using volumetric modeling tools.

At the end of this workshop, Participants will feel quite comfortable using Grasshopper and can design their algorithms instead of only following tutorials. They can use data management tools precisely and make combinations of different grasshopper plugins according to their design notions. They also will have a substantial understanding of mesh tools, volumetric modeling components, and recursive algorithms in Grasshopper.
