Course Description Parametric design for architecture, is an emerging approach to architectural design. The core idea of the method is to turn the entire elements of architectural design into variables of some function, and by changing the function, or rather the algorithm, the architect is able to obtain different architectural design solutions. This advanced course in parametric modelling for architecture is conducted on the Rhino and Grasshopper platforms. Based on the advanced course on the principles and design methods of parametric design for architecture, the principles and operations of advanced battery groups such as genetic algorithms structural performance analysis in Grasshopper are explained. |
