Synopsis:

"CAD III is a course where you get to know the basics of scripting.

The students will learn the basics of algorithmic modeling in the Grasshopper a graphical scripting environment. They will learn to create their own set of digital tools for efficient work and discover the advantages of this modeling approach compared to traditional „manual“ methods. Alongside small recap exercises the basic principles of generative and parametric modeling are illustrated on examples during the classes. Each demonstration is discussed in the context of a design issue, e.g. a skyscraper, urban planning, optimization of structures, facade components and others. Some lessons then focus on digital fabrication problems related to 3D printing, CNC milling or the effective use of laser cutting"

Requirements:

The minimum number of students to open the course is 5. EXCEPTION for self-paying students: if there are less than 5 students, the course will be taught in consultations.

Syllabus of lectures:

Syllabus of tutorials:

Basic knowledge of Revit (for the combination with Dynamo) and/or Rhino (for the combination with Grasshopper).

Study Objective:

In the course, basic knowledge of Revit and Rhino is assumed. The course starts with basic introduction to parametric modelling, and how the link between Rhino/Grasshopper and Revit/Dynamo functions. Workflow of parametric modelling is explained. Types of computational components in parametric modelling are explained, and how to make basic information flows. Further on in the semester, more complex control structures and problems are introduced.
