Join this 16-hour online workshop and learn how to develop integrated computational design workflows for contemporary architecture using Grasshopper. As architectural projects become increasingly complex, designers need tools and methodologies that go beyond traditional linear workflows. This workshop introduces a computational design approach that connects parametric modeling, façade design, geometry analysis, data visualization, and automation into unified, adaptable systems. Through hands-on exercises and real-world architectural case studies, participants will explore how computational thinking can improve design quality, accelerate iteration, enhance interdisciplinary coordination, and support complex project delivery. The methodologies presented are informed by workflows developed for large-scale international projects, including projects at Zaha Hadid Architects.
Learning Topics
- Parametric modeling and computational thinking
- Data structures and information management
- Adaptive façade systems
- Geometry analysis and performance-driven design
- Data visualization
- Workflow automation
Module 1: Parametric Façade Systems
- Establish flexible façade systems for rapid design exploration and iteration.
Module 2: Adaptive Systems
- Create intelligent façade solutions that respond to changing design and site conditions.
Module 3: Architectural Case Study
- Apply computational workflows to realistic architectural project scenarios.
Module 4: Integrated Computational Framework
- Develop a unified workflow combining geometry generation, analysis, visualization, and automation.
By the end of the workshop, participants will understand how integrated computational design can support better decision-making, improve collaboration, reduce coordination risks, and enable more innovative architectural solutions.
