Week 01
Exploring the Development Environment
Exercise 1.01 Lofting
Learning Outcomes: (1) Creating lofted surfaces through sections of curves. (2) Baking grasshopper geometries into Rhino using bake command
Exercise 1.02
Triangulation Algorithms
Learning Outcomes:
1
2
(1) Population of a 3-dimentional region with points using Pop3D command. (2) Generation of various 3D forms by subtracting individual Voronoi cells from the initial geometry generated by the above definition
(3) Generating points off from a geometry to produce 3 dimensional structures using the Oc Tree command.

Exercise 1.03 Voronoi Wall-Facade
Experimentation with Voronoi Algorithm tool x Weaverbird Plug-In (Topological Modeler)
Ecercise 1.04 Delaunay
Multiple points are created in rhino and set to 'points'. Then they are connected using delaunay edges command. Radius is changed using the slider tool to generate interesting forms.
Week 02 Understanding Geometry, Transformations and Intersections
Ecercise 2.01 Vector Fundamentals
Learning Outcomes: Demostration of how to reference vectors into grasshopper and apply it for other uses such as scaling/ratios/rotations/etc.by using basic mathematic operations
Excercise 2.02 Curves
Learning Outcomes (1) Closing Open Curves using End Points command (2) Finding Endpoints on curves using Discontinuities command
1
(3) Dividing existing curves to create points and then creating multiple arcs from the points.generated. Further dividing the arc lengths and using the Flip Matrix command to generate lines running across another direction.Finally using the Interpolate command to form a grid like structure along the length of the curves. (See command highlighted in Red)

(4)Interpolate command replaced by Polyline

Exercise 2.03 Transform Menu
Learning Outcomes A curved surface is disected with a number slider indicating the distance between the contour sections. Then, projecting contours to a base plane and lofting the curves together in order to develop a surface (Suitable for physical fabrication)
Using the move command to create an alternate parallel cut section of plane in the other direction
Exercise 2.04
Box Morph
Week 03 Controlling the Algorithm: Lists, Flow Control, Matching
Exercise 3.01
Cull Pattern on Surface
Creating a Diagrid on a vase like structure Required Plugins: Lunchbox
Exercise 3.02
Creating a Gridshell
Reference a set of curves from rhino. Explode Tree command separates data into points which is fed iinto arc 3points command to generate arcs. loft command will join these curves together to form the gridshell.
