Grasshopper Trilogy Online Workshops in April, DEZACT & Ping-Hsiang Chen
Course 1 - Grasshopper Data Structure
(April 15-16, 9:00-16:00 GMT)
Course 2 - Grasshopper Geometry
(April 29-30, 9:00-16:00 GMT)
Course 3 - Grasshopper Programming
(May 21, 22, 27, 28, 9:00-16:00 GMT)
Tutor: Ping-Hsiang Chen
Host: DEZACT
Introducing the Grasshopper Trilogy Workshops in April, a collaboration between DEZACT and Ping-Hsiang Chen, an experienced computational designer and UK-qualified architect currently working for ZAHA Hadid Architects. These Grasshopper essential courses are tailored to meet the needs of architectural professionals who want to improve their Grasshopper skills with critical techniques and skills.
Condensing years of live courses into three comprehensive weekend workshops, the Grasshopper trilogy covers the most critical topics that professionals have struggled with. DEZACT has designed these courses to help you realize the full potential of the software, whether you're new to computational design or have been using Grasshopper for years.
The trilogy includes three courses, each with a unique focus:
Course 1: The first course will give you an in-depth introduction to "Data Structure" which is essential to restructuring how you approach geometry and solutions. This course will help you achieve precision modeling in the parametric modeling environment.
Course 2: The second course dives deep into "Geometries," giving you a comprehensive overview of all geometry types in Rhino and how to use them effectively with an efficient workflow.
Course 3: The third course is a "C# Programming" course designed for designers without prior programming knowledge. It introduces customization, automation, collaboration, and plugin development, essential for those who want more control over their modeling process or use Grasshopper in complex or large projects.
You can register for each course separately or enroll in the trilogy course to establish a strong foundation and gain a broader range of uses for Grasshopper. Don't miss out on this opportunity to take your software skills to the next level with the upcoming Grasshopper workshops!

DesignMorphine Masters Y23/24 Degree
DesignMorphine has created a bespoke, accredited, and worldwide recognized 9-month Online Master of Science program. It is crafted to be accessible from all corners of the world and it aims to fulfill the demands of those who seek to exceed and lead in the field of multidisciplinary advanced and computational design. The Master of Science Degree is accredited by the University of Architecture, Civil Engineering, and Geodesy (UACEG) founded in 1942 in Sofia, Bulgaria. The program is also in partnership with The Microsoft Garage in New York, a hub for tech talent and community growth, driving innovation and inspiration.
In this age and time, we have reached a crossroads where technology can and will eventually shape not only our minds but our body. In this sense, designing the future entails, first and foremost, designing the body that will live in that future. Challenges inevitably arise and demand innovators and pioneers to overcome them; new tools and new technologies are required to materialize the answer; limits and boundaries will be crossed, and the equilibrium will change. In this journey, the compass will be a scalable notion of the human condition. Housing, transit systems, and the ways one moves around in the city, as well as the whole structure of the city itself, are essential aspects one has to consider when designing for this new reality. By changing the very unit the whole world is built around, the human body, we are no longer concerned with just designing parts of our world. Instead, we are designing the entire world we live in. It’s not a mere design process, it’s cosmogony.
