PARAMETRIC FURNITURE DESIGN WITH GRASSHOPPER AND RHINO V1.0/////DETAILSParametric Furniture Design with Grasshopper and Rhino V1.0 is an intense course that combines algorithmic methods for 3D modelling with digital fabrication of furniture. The purpose is to produce furniture through the use of parametric design with geometries in a way that allows materialization. The course will go through the processes of constructing a shape algorithm, customization, 3D printing and fabrication. Participants will be introduced to parametric modelling tools in Rhinoceros and Grasshopper which will allow them to create and visualize unique custom designs. For this purpose, 3D printers will be available on the site for all experimental needs. Participants will have the opportunity to get their designs manufactured and learn about all the aspects of the fabrication process. In the end each participant will have his prototype 3d printed./////APPLICATIONShttp://designmorphine.com/workshop/future/intensive-course-9/apply//////WHAT YOU WILL LEARNIntro to Grasshopper, creation and customization of various shapes through parametric modelling3D printing prototypesVisualization with Keyshot/////REQUIRED SOFTWAREEach Participant should provide their own computer with the following software installed. If you do not have a software, trial versions can be found on each software company’s website. We will send participants links to the required software, trials, and plug-ins for download. Please have the software installed prior to workshop start. If you have issues installing software, we may be able to help you during the workshop.McNeel Rhinoceros 3DMcNeel Grasshopper 3DKeyshot/////TUTORS/////Zlatko YanakievBulgariaMember @ DesignMorphineZlatko has been involved with DesignMorphine for some time now and has assisted at several workshops. He has been a tutor for Grasshopper in a digital fabrication workshop. He was teaching first year students about the principles behind computational design during an UACEG practice. He has substantial experience with digital fabrication (Laser Cutters and 3D printers). He has participated and won multiple competitions. His projects are focused on exploring the computational design methods and the ways of optimizing workflow and workload automation. His interests involve kinetic structures, creating active environments and data analysis. His passion is finding real-life material solutions for ideas and abstract concepts./////Martin PetrovBulgariaMember @ DesignMorphineMartin has participated in numerous competitions, gaining various awards. His primary focus in the field of parametric and generative design is structural analysis, form optimization and agent-based design. His inspiration is gained mostly through mathematics and quantum physics, which he started learning intensively in high school. Martin has experience in many workshops and courses as a participant and assistant. He has participated in Generative Morphologies V2.0 Workshop and Visual Machine V1.0 Workshop and was an assistant in Computation Matters V1.0 Workshop, Intelligent Tectonics V1.0 Workshop, and Generative Morphologies V3.0 Workshop. Martin has also worked briefly in studio GRID, expanding his knowledge in parametric design. He has few projects developed through the parametric principles and has been lecturing for DesignMorphine.
