21.02_Grasshopper as a Design Assistant (Intermediate)

This is for intermediate Rhino and grasshopper users, who want to dive into the world of genetic algorithms. We will start the workshop by introducing plugins like ladybug for climate analysis, mouse for finding human paths, wasps for clustering, lunchbox for paneling, and weaverbird for mesh editing.

 

Following this Space Syntax and Magnetic floor plan will be used for automated floor plan generation. We will then introduce various algorithms in computational design and understand the theory of genetic algorithms, following which we will do two exercises using them in real-life scenarios.
