Grasshopper Workshop : Digital Fabrication of Connecting, Networking, and Bridging
+Grasshopper Workshop I
Date: 20 – 21 and 27 – 28 August, 2016
Venue: National Taiwan University of Science , Taipei, Taiwan
Tutor : Jen-Hwang Ho
Software
– Rhino3D
–Grasshopper
– Kangaroo
Course Introdution
This workshop will teach students a series of parametric systems focusing on connection, strings, inter-connection, nods, weaving, gravity, forces, material moving, and body moving. The teaching will be mainly basing on Grasshopper, a digital and parametric environment, in which students will learn how to compose a parametric definition of certain function, and create individual works by manipulation and hybridization.
