 •This
course is an introduction to the
fundamental skills needed to design
parametrically with Grasshopper

Overview
•It
is necessary to be familiar with
Rhinoceros software and to have
installed the Grasshopper plugin

•Grasshopper allows you to create 3D

design through visual programming
 •Wehave now covered the interface and
general workflow of Grasshopper
Module 2
Overview
•Module 2 will cover the basics of curves
and surfaces

•Bythe end of this module, we will be

able to create a parametric architectural
column
 You should now have a general
understanding of how you can design
with Grasshopper.
Summary
We have covered:
- The interface
- Workflow

It’s a good idea to experiment yourself

with the tools in Grasshopper before
moving on.
