  The course Parametric Design is an intro into fundamental concepts of parametric design thinking in architecture and landscape architecture using Grasshopper, a plug- in to Rhinoceros. The course covers basics of geometry of curves & surfaces, NURBS-geometry and fundamentals of data-handling.
  

  All teaching within the course will be conducted remotely! An Introduction into the course takes place on Tuesday 10 Jan 2023 at 9:15 at zoom.
  

  The course is organized in six blocks related to one specific topic. It is recommended to work through the course in the given sequence of topics, one topic each week. The learning is supported by exercises as well as weekly Q&A sessions and individual consultation hours. In addition, some readings are provided for a better understanding of parametric design. Successful completion of the course is based on in-time submission of the three designated assignments. 

  Q&A: always Tuesday 10-11 at zoom (starting on 17.1.2023)

  Individual Consultation: always Tuesday 11-12 at Väre, O302
