Program: PARAMETRICISM 1.0

Workshop: Environmental Analysis & Performative Design

Date: 18, 19 & 20 September, 2020 ( Friday, Saturday & Sunday )

Software: Rhino3d & Grasshopper

Plugins: Ladybug, Honeybee & Galapagos

Description:

3 Day online workshop focusing on Environmental Analysis & Performative Design. Start learning to optimise your design ideas into sustainable projects by learning enviromental analysis simualtion and techniques. The studio will kich off with an introduction to computational design and parametricism. This would be followed by introduction to Rhino3D and grasshopper software interface as a digital framework for Enviromental Analysis & Performative Deisgn. Detailed discussion and scripting techniques for enviromental analysis and optimising your design according to a given enviromental condition using Galapagos plugin. Following this, a design studio exercise will be introduced which would be published as a vitual exhibition on Epoch India Platform.
