This course equips participants with the foundations of data management, algorithmic thinking, and scripting in Grasshopper. Beginning with Grasshopper data types, lists, and trees, students will learn how to structure and manipulate complex data for design workflows. Through step-by-step modules, the course covers data tree mastery, algorithmic design logic, and problem-solving with real design examples.
Participants will then extend Grasshopper’s native capabilities using C# scripting, exploring the Grasshopper SDK, iterative processes, and recursive algorithms for advanced geometry generation. The course culminates in a final project, where learners integrate parametric components and custom scripts into a hybrid workflow, applying algorithmic strategies to solve a design challenge.
Applications: Grasshopper, C#
