[  ] Workshop Title

Grasshopper3D Fundamentals

​

[  ] Key Software / Tech to be taught

Rhino + Grasshopper3D + GH Plug-ins (Human + Pufferfish + Lunchbox + Nudibranch, etc.)

​

[  ] Workshop Description

The Grasshopper3D Fundamentals Workshop will introduce participants to the Fundamental Concepts and Essential Skills necessary for effectively designing with Grasshopper for Rhinoceros. We will cover concepts such as Object Attributes/Parameters, Data Types, Data Structures, and Designing with Algorithms. The workshop will also focus on creating and manipulating both Lists and Data Trees as well as best practices for integrating Grasshopper into your Professional Workflow. In this 2day workshop we will parametrically design real structures using Grasshopper and other tools introducing you to many add-ons. The chosen structures are the Formstelle Format by Elf Architekten, the Nine Bridges by Shigeru Ban, the Serpentine Pavilion by BIG Architects and The Vessel by Heatherwick Studio. We will be using Pufferfish, Human, Lunchbox and Nudibranch as tools for designing the structures.

​

The workshop is suitable for anyone wanting to kick-start their journey in using Grasshopper3D and learn through examples of popular architectural projects to develop an Intermediate level skillset in Grasshopper3D.

[  ] List of FAQ / Workshop Requisites

Q1: How to download and install Rhino?
A1: Downloading Rhino: Participants are required to bring a laptop with Rhino 7.0 installed on their laptops. This version includes Grasshopper. Rhino is a software that can be download as evaluation version on this website: https://www.rhino3d.com/download/.

Q2: How to Install the Grasshopper Add-ons?
A2: There is a video tutorial showing how to download the Grasshopper add-ons here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBh1UHg6ZHQ. We we also need the add-ons for Grasshopper: Pufferfish, Human, Lunchbox and Nudibranch, the links can be found here: https://www.food4rhino.com/en/app/pufferfish?lang=en, https://www.food4rhino.com/en/app/human, https://www.food4rhino.com/en/app/lunchbox and https://www.food4rhino.com/en/app/nudibranch.

Q3: What kind of computer do I need for the the workshop?
A3: It's good if you have a good computer with a i7 or i9 processor and also at least 16Mb Ram, but having a slightly older system with lower configurations will also be ok.

Q4: Can I use a Mac instead of Windows?
A4: Yes, Rhino is also designed for Macs, and the add-ons are also available for Macs.
