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
