Session Overview

For architecture & design students and young professionals from  varied design fields, who aspires to acquire computational and  parametric design skills, Parametric Architecture is a series of 4 different workshop that fabricates the foundation for computational design and  parametricism. The workshop is designed and curated in way that it initiates from the very basics of  grasshopper and rhino, and covers varied topics like Advanced parametric facade design, form finding, digital simulation, environmental analysis and performative design techniques in different workshops.

Though we recommended to attend the entire Parametric Architecture Series for a complete insight in the field of Parametric and computational Design, you can apply for individual workshops or the topics of your interest.

No prerequisite knowledge is required. 

Who Should Attend ?

• Architecture Students & Professionals
• 3D Visualizers & Artist intrested in Computational Design.
• Design Students & Professionals.
• Green Building Professionals.
