Develop Parametric Architecture with Grasshopper

在本课程中，您将 3D 建模的基本知识应用到参数化方法中。

您无需为一个项目创建一个或两个设计模型，而是学习如何开发一个交互式、适应性强的模型，该模型由几个选定的设计参数控制并能够生成各种设计变体。使用巧妙的组件来定义一个高效而强大的互连组件系统，创建几何图形并应用几何和数学运算。

学习创新建筑事务所应用的相同技术，例如哈迪德的福斯特，来开发他们的复杂设计。

使用建模和生成几何的组合，并且仍然允许对结果进行视觉、艺术控制。

在一系列大约三个小时的视频教程和一些简短的测验中，我们学习了 Grasshopper，这是 McNeel Rhinoceros 的参数化设计插件，可以免费使用，前提是您可以访问 Rhinoceros。

第一讲将解释用户界面和控制数字、点和曲线的基本概念。
我们将其扩展到 3D 表面，并研究了外墙或屋顶模型的镶板和细分的不同方法。
将有一个广泛的部分，您将在其中逐步创建类似于 Calatrava 在瑞典建造的扭曲塔设计的模型。
最后，我们将使用 Galapagos 模块查看生成建模的选项，其中我们查看优化。
因此，请加入我们，探索这个广受欢迎的可视化编程系统，并探索如何轻松创建一些令人惊讶的结果。

In this course, you apply a basic knowledge of 3D modelling into a Parametric Approach.

Instead of creating one or two design models for a project, you learn how to develop an interactive, adapting model, controlled by a few chosen design parameters and capable of generating a wide range of design variants. Use the clever components to define an efficient and powerful system of interconnected components, creating geometry and applying geometric and mathematical operations.

Learn the same techniques innovative architectural offices apply, such as Foster of Hadid, to develop their complex designs.

Use a combination of modeled and generated geometry and still allow visual, artistic control over the result.

In a series of around three hours of video tutorials and a few short quizzes we learn Grasshopper, a parametric design add-in for McNeel Rhinoceros, which can be freely used, provided you have access to Rhinoceros.

The first lectures will explain the user interface and the basic concepts to control numbers, points and curves.
We extend this into 3D Surfaces and look at different approaches for panelling and subdividing of a façade or roof model.
There will be an extensive section where you’ll create a model that is similar to a twisted tower design by Calatrava, built in Sweden, step-by-step.
And finally, we’ll take a look at options for generative modelling, where we look at optimisation, using the Galapagos module.
So please join us and discover this widely popular visual programming system and discover how you can create some surprising results with ease.

Who this course is for:
This course is targeted at architects, designers and students who know 3D modelling, but want to develop parametric design models.
During a series of video tutorials, we start with a few basic examples and gradually develop more advanced topics.
You will create freeform roof shapes with automatic panelling.
You will construct a twister tower reminiscent of a Calatrava design from start to finish.
We don’t have room to extend into additional extensions for Grasshopper, but there is a wide community of users and teachers who share Grasshopper knowledge.
