Gozour Algorithmic Design Essentials
Crumpled, folded, rounded show-off “wow” buildings will become increasingly commonplace — but they’ll no longer be designed by the stars. The only true stars will be the guys who design the parametric software. Karrie Jacobs

Overview Description This is a course on design methodology – with a Grasshopper component. No prior knowledge is expected. Most classes will have a project component that has to be accomplished after the class – without tutorial support (hopefully with peer support). Day 01.
Theoretical Background & Software Interface
Day 02.
Parametrization & Parametric Space
Day 03.
Lists & Data Matching
Day 04.
Math 01 : Arithmetic & Functions
Day 05.
Trees 01 : Collections of Lists
Day 06.
Workshop & Evaluation 01
Day 07.
Math 02 : Trigonometry & Conditional Operations
Day 08.
Trees 02 : Advanced Data Manipulation
Day 09.
Math 03 : Vectors
Day 10.
Voronoi 2D & Curve-to-Surface Mapping
Day 11.
Voronoi 3D & Mesh Editing
Day 12.
Workshop & Evaluation 02
What You Will Learn By the end of the course, the students are expected to be able to design not only a building, but also to design the “design process” it self. The Participants are supposed to get a sufficient amount of knowledge concerning algorithmic design, specially using grasshopper as a design tool. 02
