Algorithmic Urban Design in Grasshopper: Data-Driven Site Analysis & Massing
Algorithmic Urban Design in Grasshopper: Data-Driven Site Analysis & Massing Online workshop January 31-February 1, 2026 Designing urban projects on complex terrain can be challenging. Still, digital tools and parametric methods enable us to better understand a site and efficiently explore multiple design possibilities. This workshop focuses on reading the landscape first, using data and environmental conditions to guide design decisions rather than relying solely on intuition. You will learn how to perform four key site analyses: sunlight exposure, terrain slope, vegetation density, and visibility, and transform raw data into clear visual diagrams. These analyses then serve as inputs to a generative design workflow that suggests optimal building positions and massing. The entire process is developed step by step in Grasshopper for Rhino, providing a practical strategy for early-stage urban design in any context. What You’ll Learn
About the instructor: Ognjen Graovac is an architect and computational designer from Belgrade focused on parametric design and digital workflows. He founded Algorithmic Architecture, has contributed to projects such as Madison Square Garden in Las Vegas, develops open-source Grasshopper plugins, and is an award-winning competition architect.

Rhino.Inside.Revit online workshop, March 11-13, 2026 (McNeel Europe)
Since 2009, numerous third-party plugins have improved interoperability between Autodesk’s BIM software Revit and Rhino/Grasshopper. Introduced with Rhino 7, Rhino.Inside.Revit significantly advances this integration by adding over 300 Revit-aware components to Grasshopper, enabling users to query, modify, analyze, and create native Revit elements directly within Grasshopper.
In this workshop, Junghwo Park, BIM Manager at Doka GmbH, will introduce participants to Rhino.Inside.Revit, a powerful framework that integrates Rhino and Grasshopper directly within Autodesk Revit. Participants will gain a basic understanding of Rhino.Inside.Revit, learn about BIM management use cases, and explore parametric BIM workflows with Rhino.Inside.Revit and selected Grasshopper plugins for design automation.
Rhino.Inside.Revit also provides a powerful translation API for building custom conversion workflows between Revit data and Rhino geometry and metadata.

Emergent Futures V1.0 webinar by DesignMorphine
Emergent Futures V1.0 - Free Webinar
January 31st and February 1, 2026 - 3 PM to 7 PM UTC
Emergent Futures V1.0 explores how generative AI is transforming architectural design. The workshop focuses on using AI tools—Rhino, Blender, and ComfyUI—to create concept-driven 3D scenes. We'll discuss how today’s mix of AI, 3D modeling, and scripting empowers architects to design not just structures, but complex systems rich in relationships, narratives, and detail—often sacrificed to deadlines and project constraints. We’ll examine how mastering tools enables freedom in solving design problems. To test this, we’ll develop a concept with AI and transform it into a 3D environment, treating AI as a co-author, or even the author of the project’s core ideas. While this may sound dystopian, we’ll approach it playfully.
Participants will generate AI imagery of architecture, landscapes, characters, and objects within one cohesive concept, then model, texture, and light the scene for rendering. The workshop emphasizes creative exploration over technical drafting and concludes by materializing our ideas into a single unified 3D scene.

Modulation Evolution V1.0 Webinar by DesignMorphine
Modulation Evolution V1.0 explores how modular design can evolve into a generative, multidisciplinary methodology using Rhino and Grasshopper. Rather than treating design as a static result, the session frames it as a systemic and evolutionary process in which geometry, logic, and creativity interact within a living design ecosystem.
Participants will study how bottom-up processes can generate spatial systems, structural coherence, and aesthetic identity across scales, from product design to architecture. Patternsare introduced as the DNA of design, showing how they carry both the rational and poetic dimensions of creation. Through discussions on computational design, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and digital fabrication, we'll show how complexity can emerge through gradual adaptation rather than sudden invention.
Ultimately, this webinar invites participants to rethink design as an ongoing act of evolution—an exchange between form, structure, and thought in which geometry becomes a bridge linking disciplines, scales, and cultures.

Termite: Rhino Grasshopper Plugin Developed for 3D Printing of Clay
Termite is a plugin developed for Liquid Deposition Modeling (LDM) 3D printing that offers a dedicated toolset for clay and other paste-based materials. Created by Julian Jauk within his research at Graz University of Technology, the plugin has been validated through multiple seminars, architectural prototypes, and international workshops. It is already in active use across several educational facilities.
While most slicing tools are optimized for thermoplastics and small nozzle sizes, clay printing typically uses nozzles between 1 and 30 mm. It requires precise control over path layout, material flow, and printer movement. Termite addresses this gap by integrating essential slicing features—such as custom path generation, sorting algorithms, variable parameters within a single print, inrun speed control for smooth starts, extrusion flattening for reliable adhesion, and automatic detection of path intersections—directly into the parametric design environment of Rhino and Grasshopper.
Termite provides 20 modular components across the categories Main, Create, Sort, Display, and Example, supporting both beginner and advanced workflows. It is designed as an easy-to-use tool for Grasshopper newcomers, with features working immediately after installation, while still offering maximum freedom for experimental fabrication through its open, modular structure. Users can design printing paths in Rhino, Grasshopper, or via Termite’s own components, with all required G-code generated in real time.
Suitable for clay and earth-based mixtures, concrete, biopolymers, biomaterials, and various food-grade pastes, Termite works not only with LDM printers such as the WASP 40100 LDM and Delta WASP 2040 Clay but also with any machine capable of interpreting G-code, including Cartesian and polar printers or robotic arms.
Termite is available for Windows and macOS for Rhino 6 or later. The plugin includes an installer, example files, and a tutorial video. It is entirely free to use and can be downloaded via food4Rhino or installed directly through the Rhino Package Manager.
