Content
Topics include:
- Introduction to programming Python
- The mathematics of space
- Introduction to NURBS and Rhino data structures
- Systems for generative geometry
We will be covering these topics in depth in addition
to several others. To see the curriculum from previous
versions of the class click here.
Please see some examples of student work from our
sessions in January at MIT and June in Boston here.
Python
is an easy and intuitive programming language which
makes RhinoScripting easier than ever. This class will
provide the high demand skills associated with
computational design and architecture while maintaining
focus on the principles of design.
Testimonials
"The workshop was genuinely great and
profitable for me, and convinced me to pursue
python/rhino in my next year teaching."
- Pierre Côté
"The Rhino.Python workshop gave me the
keys to start using python, which is an awesome syntax,
both powerful and easy to use in Rhino and many other
fields."
- Eglantine Bigot-Doll
"Point Crowd exceeded my expectations.
As a newcomer to scripting, I was initially intimidated
by the context of the course, however the first day
introduced both the general concepts of scripting and
Python at a pace that allowed for both novices such as
myself, and those with more experience."
- Rosie Weinberg
"PointCrowd was great. I found it
extremely useful not only for new experiments in design
but also as a practical time saver for normally
extremely time consuming modeling tasks. ...I have used
it for my first design project and final design project
this semester in studio ...
I think it is practical and everyone
should learn the basics of it, because it is a truly
useful skill set to have."
- Christopher Malcolm
"...the class was a great intro to
Scripted/Computational Design ... and showed me the
benefits of using code for design."
- Enas AlKhudairy
"...even if you know nothing about
scripting you can learn a lot by adapting and playing
with scripts given in the assigned examples ... They
are very patient and answer questions in a way that you
will understand."
- Felecia Davis
