Grasshopper Level 2 (Level 2)
Online Workshop
Tutor: Ping-Hsiang Chen
June 25-27, 2025
10 AM-5 PM CEST (Barcelona)
Hosted on Zoom by McNeel Europe
Ping-Hsiang Chen, a former computational designer at Zaha Hadid Architects, leads a three-day Grasshopper Level 2 online course. This hands-on experience explores computational geometry and parametric design principles. After the completion of this course, participants will be able to:
1. Have an in-depth understanding of data structure
2. Work between different geometry types such as NURBS, Mesh, and SubDs
3. Understand the use cases of mesh geometry
4. Optimize workflow using blocks and caches
5. Work with layers, material, and views in your Rhino document
