Description

Are you looking to master parametric facade design and accelerate your learning process? This course is designed for architects, designers, and engineers who want to dive into the world of parametric architecture using Grasshopper Rhino. Instead of theoretical exercises, you will rebuild some of the best real-world parametric facade projects. This hands-on approach ensures that you acquire practical skills quickly while working on recognizable architectural designs.Throughout this course, you’ll start by learning the fundamentals of Grasshopper, focusing on its interface, components, and basic parametric workflows. As you progress, we will guide you step-by-step in recreating complex facade systems from well-known buildings. Each project is broken down into manageable sections, making it easier to grasp how parametric design principles are applied in real-world scenarios.You will not only learn how to replicate these facades but also how to customize and adapt designs to fit different architectural requirements. We will cover advanced design optimization techniques that improve workflow efficiency and help you iterate faster.By the end of the course, you will have built several iconic parametric facades and developed the confidence to create your own complex designs. This course is ideal for anyone looking to improve their parametric design skills in a short time and apply them in real architectural projects.
