Grasshopper Level 2 Online Workshop
Tutor: Ping-Hsiang Chen
November 5-7, 2025
10 AM-5 PM CET (Barcelona)
Hosted on Zoom by McNeel Europe
Ping-Hsiang Chen, a former computational designer at Zaha Hadid Architects, is leading a three-day Grasshopper Level 2 online course. This hands-on experience explores the principles of computational geometry and parametric design.
After the completion of this course, you will be able to:
Day 1
- Have an in-depth understanding of data structure
- Work between different geometry types such as NURBS, Mesh, and SubDs
- Understand the use cases of mesh geometry
- Optimize workflow using blocks and caches
- Work with layers, materials, and views in your Rhino document
Day 1
- Review Computational Geometry and Complex Geometry
- Advanced Data Structure (Branch and Path Manipulation)
- Data Grouping, Partition, Classification, and Culling
- Data Sorting, Sets
- Conditional Statements
- Custom Patterns and Domain
Day 2
- Mesh Modelling Introduction
- Mesh Subdivision and Topology Reconstruction
- Mesh Optimization with ShrinkWrap
- Introduction to Blocks
- Create Block Attributes
- Reference External Blocks
Day 3
Course requirements: This Level 2 course requires prior experience in visual programming. You should be familiar with the Grasshopper user interface and the Essential Algorithms and Data Structures in Grasshopper (Chapters 1 and 2).
- Point Cloud Data Type
- Introduction to Content Cache
- Query Information from Rhino Document
- Model Layer and Object Introduction
- Model View Introduction

This looks like a great opportunity for anyone looking to strengthen their skills with Grasshopper. A Level 2 workshop is especially valuable since it focuses on more advanced concepts and real-world applications, which can really help designers push their projects further. The online format also makes it accessible for participants across different regions. Looking forward to seeing how attendees apply the new techniques in their future work!
