Are you interested in gaining Parametric competency to push your design skills to the next level? Uplift your parametric knowledge this November and learn how to work smarter with Grasshopper, the inituative plugin for Rhino 3D!
Computational Design for Advanced Parametric Architecture is a 3 days advanced design workshop in Dubai. Attendees will have the chance to go through a professional workflow
that will combine diverse digital design methodologies and the use of different tools such as Rhinoceros, Grasshopper and delve into the most popular plugins and better valued by users such as Galapagos and Kangaroo.
This workshop is an opportunity for architects, designers, artists, students of Architecture and Art interested in developing contemporary design strategies made possible through the use of digital techniques. Building up technical skills will provide the attendees with a solid platform from which to start rethinking and exploring innovative architectural ideas in collaboration with the team and the tutors. In three days, you will learn how to streamline your work and optimize the geometries and calculations that were impossible to be carried out without the use of these plugins, while explaining their general operation, advantages and features by a series of practical exercises as an example. In this way, emphasis will be placed on concepts that are very present in the design and advanced engineering: topology, form-finding, structural optimization, FEM, fractals, loop, genetic and repetitive algorithms, etc.
