The upcoming Grasshopper level 1 course is for professionals who would like to understand parametric design principles and learn Grasshopper efficiently. In the three-day course, our tutor Ping-Hsiang Chen (computational designer at Zaha Hadid Architects) will first take you through a journey of parametric design and its applications as well as the concept of computational geometry. We cover the use of native tools in Grasshopper and their relationship to Rhino. Ultimately, some valuable techniques for design and task automation will be introduced.
To provide you with a comfortable learning environment, the teaching approach in the class will be a step-by-step approach starting from a review of Rhino 3D modeling principle and then slowly transitioning to abstract concepts such as data structure, mathematics, algorithmic modeling in Grasshopper. Participants will learn techniques such as creating and editing a free-form 3D model accurately, panellisation, and preparing 2D drawings and instruction for fabrication. Also, we discover some newly released features such as Grasshopper Player from Rhino 7. After the completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Have a good understanding of parametric modeling principle
- Understand Rhino geometries and their properties
- Work with basic data structure
- Customize your modeling workflow
- Work with multiple models efficiently
