Courses
Computational Design Methods :: CDM 19.2
In this seminar, various fundamentals of computer-based design methods and their application are taught. These include (i) the basics of programming, (ii) spatial analysis methods, (iii) introduction to BIM, (iv) introduction to VR / AR using Unity, (v) new web technologies to visualize your own data.
Computational Methods for User-Centered Architectural Design :: UCAD 19.2
In this seminar, we will examine methods for the quantitative analysis of architectural space and examine in how far these quantities relate to human behavior.
Evolutionary Design Methods :: EDM 19.2
In this course, you are introduced to Evolutionary Algorithms and their application for your design or planning project. We use various components in Grasshopper (Galapagos, Octopus, Opossum, Wallacei) that provide algorithms for single and multi-criteria optimization.
Evolutionary Design Methods :: EDM Open
In this course, you are introduced to Evolutionary Algorithms and their application for your design or planning project. We use various components in Grasshopper (Galapagos, Octopus, Opossum, Wallacei) that provide algorithms for single and multi-criteria optimization.
INTRODUCTION TO GIS:: GIS 19.2
In this course, we introduce you to the Geographic Information Systems (GIS). We deal with different spatial and attribute data to be able to create a geographical database, edit it, analysis it and visualise it. The course introduces different practices and applications of GIS in the wider context of urban development.
Introduction to Scripting with C# for Grasshopper in Rhino3D :: ISC Open
In this course, we introduce you to the programming language C#, which we use as a scripting language in Grasshopper for Rhino3D. This scripting knowledge is necessary to have more control of your Grasshopper definition.
Parametric Building Information Modeling :: PBIM 19.2
In this seminar we will examine the possibilities of parameterization of building information models. The software used is Revit and PlugIn Dynamo.
Parametric Urban Design & Analysis :: PUDA 19.2
In this course, you will first learn to create parametric models, that allow to quickly generate a large number of design variants. Secondly, you will get introduced to spatial analysis methods in order to identify different qualities of the generated urban forms.
Urban Modeling and Simulation :: UMS 19.2
In this course, we introduce you to the basic theories of models and systems, as well as to urban simulation methods based on scripting techniques with C# in Grasshopper for Rhino 3D. We model spatial systems on different abstraction levels focussing on models for interactions between land uses.
Urban Modeling and Simulation :: UMS Advanced Open
In this course, you learn to work with advanced urban modeling and simulation techniques based and system dynamics methods. We deal with the modeling of complex spatial systems on the regional and urban level. In this context, computational analysis methods for urban fabric and models for computing interactions between land uses are introduced.
Urban Modeling and Simulation :: UMS Basic Open
In this course, we introduce you to the basic theories of models and systems, as well as to urban simulation methods with Grasshopper for Rhino 3D. We model spatial systems on different abstraction levels and integrate computational analysis methods for urban fabric and models for interactions between land uses.
