Course Topics
GRASSHOPPER
Parametric Modeling
Node-based visual programming — building parametric relationships, data trees, and generative geometry.
STRUCTURES
Structural Form-Finding
Computational approaches to efficient structural form — funicular geometries, load paths, and equilibrium.
GEOMETRY
Computational Geometry
Surfaces, meshes, and polyhedral geometries as the basis for structural and architectural systems.
ANALYSIS
Structural Analysis
Evaluating structural performance through simulation — stress, deformation, and optimization workflows.
FABRICATION
Digital Fabrication
Translating computational models to physical artifacts — fabrication-aware design and toolpath generation.
OPTIMIZATION
Design Optimization
Algorithmic and evolutionary methods for optimizing structural and spatial performance.
