Parametricism 4.0

Session Overview :

For architecture & design students and young professionals, who aspires to acquire computational design skills, Epoch India Education is an online education program that fabricates the foundation for computational design and parametricism. Like any other education program but unlike any other we provide an opportunity for one to one sessions and allow our workshop alumni’s to be part of related future workshops which aids in solving out the doubts and revision of the participants

The workshop will initiate from the very basics of grasshopper and rhino,

No pre-requisite knowledge required
