Intro to Generative Design
This session provides an overview of the generative design methodology, including its theoretical context, its foundations in artificial intelligence, and its applications in industry
Designing with parameters
In this session we review the main types of inputs a designer can use to control an optimization process
Unpacking the Genetic Algorithm
In this session we review the fundamentals of the Genetic Algorithm (GA) and its context within the broader field of optimization
Hands-on with Grasshopper
In this webinar we get first hand experience with Grasshopper by building a parametric building tower and facade
Python bootcamp
This webinar covers the basics of Python - everything you need to know to start working with Python code in Grasshopper
Working with recursion
In this session we cover recursive functions which are functions that can call themselves
Dividing Spaces
A recursive approach can be used to model the process of iteratively dividing a space to derive a set of connected spaces (a floorplan)
Circle Packing with OOP
A circle packing can be represented with a dynamic system comprised of agents (the individual circles) carrying out a set of simple instructions
Visualizing Generative Design
This session will review a variety of visualization approaches based on examples from industry
Simulating occupancy
This session provides an introduction to occupancy simulation using a custom set of tools developed for Grasshopper
Simulating daylight
This session provides an introduction to daylight simulation using the Ladybug Tools plugin developed for Grasshopper
Simulating views
This session provides an introduction to view analysis using a custom set of tools developed for Grasshopper
Simulating structure
This session provides an introduction to building-scale structural analysis using the FEA solver Karamba in Grasshopper
