This document announces open classes on using the Grasshopper plugin for Rhinoceros 3D. The classes will provide personal 30-minute tutorials where students can get help applying Grasshopper to speed up their design projects. Introductory sessions will also be offered on using Grasshopper, Kangaroo for physics simulation, and engineering plugins. Students should email to sign up for a tutorial or intro session by April 27th. All classes will be held in Room 3.03 at The Royal Ear Hospital.

This course will introduce students to the world of generative design using the powerful tool of Grasshopper, a plug-in for Rhinoceros 3D. Students will learn to design algorithms and operate with data and geometry intuitively, without the need to learn a programming language. Since Term 3 is mainly dedicated to production for design projects rather than conventional software courses, the Open Classes will be run as a series of personal tutorials where each enrolled student will get a slot of 30 minutes with a Grasshopper expert who will outline the most convenient tools or developed scripts to use in each particular project, with the aim of speeding up production with computational tools. Although the course is not designed to achieve a high level in the software, a series of introductory sessions will also take place prior to the personal tutorials as an option for those who want to get an overview of different aspects of Grasshopper:
Personal tutorials (30 min per student) - Wednesday 30th of April - 3pm to 9pm - Thursday 1st of May - 9am to 6pm - Friday 2nd of May - 9am to 1pm
To apply for a 30 min personal tutorial or for a slot in any of the three introductory sessions please email:[email protected] Grasshopper Open C. in the subject line by the 27th of April. Enrolment is on a rst-come, rst-serve basis. All classes are to be held in The Royal Ear Hospital Room 3.03, students need to bring their own laptops with Rhino + Grasshopper installed.
