Introduction to Grasshopper 3d for AEC (LAB BYOD)

Synopsis:

Grasshopper is a graphical algorithm editor included with Rhino.
Unlike RhinoScript, Rhino.Python, or other programming languages, Grasshopper requires no knowledge of programming or scripting, but still allows developers and designers to develop form generation algorithms without writing code.

All LAB attendees must bring their own devices.

Learning Objectives:

1. Introducing the Grasshopper 3d visual programming interface
2. Learn to create basic parametric relationships between parameters and geometry
3. Understand the resources available to continue learning

Body:

Grasshopper is a graphical algorithm editor included with Rhino.
Unlike RhinoScript, Rhino.Python, or other programming languages, Grasshopper requires no knowledge of programming or scripting, but still allows developers and designers to develop form generation algorithms without writing code.

This workshop will introduce the basic concepts of Grasshopper to new users. Participants will learn to create basic parametric relationships between variables and geometry as well as understand which resources are available to continue learning. Finally, we will review notable projects developed with Grasshopper 3d.

All installation instructions will be provided by the speaker.
