Abstract
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. We use it in other courses to implement or customize urban simulation models or to generate complex geometries with advanced algorithms. The software Grasshopper is briefly introduced in the beginning, but you should have some prior knowledge of it from other courses.
Learning objectives
The objective of this course is to enable you to use C# scripting for creative design applications.
The knowledge provided through online seminars will be deepened in consultations and documented in several exercises.
Requirements
It is highly recommended that you have some basic knowledge of Rhino3D and Grasshopper since we require basic knowledge in using the software and in parametric design and visual programming.

Chau Ng.
This course is very useful for computational design, especially the part about cellular automata - a base of agent-based modelling. I definitely recommend this course to other students interested in computational design.
