Welcome to the 1st International Course on
Computational Modelling and Generative Design
Participants will gain hands-on experience with technologies and techniques involved with the Generative Design approach, including computational design, scripting, simulation, optimization, and data visualization.
For modelling and simulation, we will rely on Grasshopper, a visual programming interface for the 3d modelling software Rhinoceros. Several 3rd party plug-ins developed for Grasshopper will be presented during the course to carry on FE Analysis and Optimization strategies.
Course Organization
The full-immersion course is scheduled starting from June 28 to July 1, 2023.
The lectures are planned and subdivided into three different modules.
