The objective of the workshop is to use the base of Grasshopper that were taught in the previous 2018 workshop to delve into the most popular plugins and better valued by users such as alapagos and Kangaroo. In two 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.

 

-Attractor driven patterns
