Master in Parametric Design, Spring 2026 22st Edition by Controlmad

 

MaSTER COURSE IN PARAMETRIC DESIGN

A unique study program to introduce you to the world of computational design, the state-of-the-art field for product design, architecture, landscape, engineering, digital fabrication... through creating physical and digital parametric models using as main tools Grasshopper for Rhino along with our CNC (computer numerical control) machines.

The course is divided into two parts: 

• PART I – DIGITAL TOOLS (248 hours)

Learn Rhino3D and Grasshopper3D from the ground up to advanced techniques. Topics include data management, organic modeling, artificial intelligence, Python scripting, structural analysis with Karamba3D, form-finding with Kangaroo, optimization workflows, and more.

• PART II – DIGITAL FABRICATION (137 hours)

Hands-on experience with 3D printing, robotic arms, laser cutting, CNC milling, G-code generation, nesting strategies, and other fabrication technologies.

You may choose multiple ways to take it:

• Entire course (onsite or online)
• Just Part I (onsite or online)
• Hybrid: Part I online + Part II onsite.
