Are you ready to master Grasshopper – not in months – but in just a few focused hours?
Whether you’re an architecture student, urban designer, or professional with a busy schedule, this course is your shortcut to real-world parametric design mastery. No fluff. No filler. Just hands-on, project-based learning with results you can showcase.
In this course, you’ll build a complete parametric design project — from site modeling to environmental analysis and optimization — using Grasshopper and essential plugins like Ladybug, Galapagos (genetic algorithm), Kangoro, and Elk2.
What You’ll Build:
-
A full architectural site with randomized building blocks using Voronoi
-
Roads, green areas, and realistic surrounding buildings
-
A fully analyzable and optimized design model for commercial buildings and offices
You’ll Learn How To:
-
Model adaptive building forms and heights using environmental data
-
Import real EPW weather files and analyze sunlight, shadow, and solar radiation
-
Simulate wind flow and visualize wind rose diagrams
-
Optimize building orientation, visibility, and placement using the Galapagos component
-
Model fabric and mesh-based structures using the Kangoro plugin
-
Import real-world urban layouts using Elk2 and perform site analysis and pathfinding
-
Create powerful visualizations, legends, and presentation-ready graphics
Why This Course?
-
Less than 5 hours of fast, efficient training
-
Perfect for busy students or professionals
-
100% practical — project-based from start to finish
-
No prior experience with Grasshopper required
-
Covers essential workflows for architecture, urban design, and environmental planning
By the end of this course, you’ll have:
-
A complete parametric project from scratch
-
A deep understanding of real-world design workflows
-
A strong portfolio piece to present in studios, interviews, or client meetings
-
Skills to integrate data-driven design into your work — fast and professionally
Plugins You’ll Work With:
-
Ladybug (sun, shadow, wind, and radiation analysis)
-
Galapagos (genetic algorithm optimization for solar/view/site)
-
Kangoro (fabric/membrane simulation with physics)
-
Elk2 (real-world data import from OpenStreetMap)
