food4Rhino webinar: Termite AI (December 11, 2025, at 5 PM CET)

food4Rhino webinar: Termite AI
December 11, 2025, at 5 PM CET

Join us for a live demonstration of Termite AI - an intelligent design co-pilot that helps architects and designers generate floor plans, spatial layouts, and unit distributions in minutes.

In this session, we will show how Termite connects seamlessly with Rhino, Grasshopper, and Revit, integrating AI into your early design workflow without changing your tools.

We’ll showcase how Termite accelerates early-stage design decisions, optimizes spatial configurations, and adapts to your design intent — whether you’re working on a single building or a large-scale project.

What You’ll Learn

• How Termite AI generates floor plans and unit distributions with minimal input
• Live integration demo with Rhino, Grasshopper, and Revit
• How Termite fits into early-stage design workflows
• Upcoming features and roadmap for early adopters

Who Should Attend

• Architects and designers using, Rhino, Grasshopper and Autodesk Revit in early-stage design
• Professionals seeking tools to streamline early design and reduce manual work
• Innovators eager to explore AI-driven design workflows

Speaker:

Mohammad Hassan Saleh Tabari is the co-founder of Termite Intelligence GmbH, an AEC technology startup based in Innsbruck, Austria, and the developer behind Termite Nest and Termite AI. Since 2021, Mohammad has served as a university assistant at Innsbruck University and is currently finalizing his PhD in Computational Design, focusing on numerical models for the design of spatial and lightweight structures.

Termite has been designed and developed since 2020, with over 6000 downloads, beginning with the Termite Nest plugin in Grasshopper. In 2024, Termite Intelligence was recognized as a finalist in the Austrian Startup World Cup. In 2025, based on community feedback, termite turned into an intelligent design assistant dashboard to facilitate the design process.

Membranes: From Concept to Fabrication — 8-Week Specialized Training by ixRay Ltd (February-April 2026)

Membranes: From Concept to Fabrication — 8-Week Specialized Training by ixRay Ltd

Designing advanced membrane structures requires a solid understanding of form-finding, material behavior, aerodynamics, and precise digital modeling. For architects, engineers, and designers looking to deepen their expertise, ixRay Ltd, in collaboration with the Architectural Membrane Association (AMA), is launching an intensive 8-week online training program focused on membrane structures—from concept to fabrication.

This comprehensive course is led by a panel with over 30 years of industry experience, including renowned instructor Gerry D’Anza, and integrates powerful software tools such as IxCube 4-10, IxCube CFD, and Rhino/Grasshopper.

What You Will Learn

Throughout the eight weeks, participants will explore the full workflow of membrane design and engineering:

1. Form-Finding Through Forces

Understand how membranes naturally generate optimized shapes through tension forces, achieving stability and elegance.

2. Rhino Modeling & Grasshopper

Learn how to build accurate 3D models and workflows for membrane structures using Rhino and parametric design automation in Grasshopper.

3. Parametric Design (Rhino + Grasshopper + IxCube 4-10)

Develop advanced parametric systems that integrate structural behavior and patterning processes.

4. Inflatables & ETFE Cushions

Gain technical insights into the design and analysis of pneumatic structures and ETFE cushion systems.

5. Nonlinear Analysis of Membranes and Steel Structures

Study real-world structural behavior under load, using specialized simulation tools.

6. Wind Tunnel Simulation with IxCube CFD

Run CFD simulations over thin double-sided membranes to validate aerodynamic performance.

7. Steel Design (American, Euro, and Indian Codes)

Learn essential global steel standards and apply them to tension structures.

8. Project Management (Patterning & Production)

Understand production techniques, patterning strategies, and efficient project delivery.
