Abstract
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.
This course is for students of the Bauhaus-University Weimar. For external students, we provide the course Evolutionary Design Methods :: Open
Learning objectives
You learn in detail how to combine various spatial analysis methods with innovative generative methods and evolutionary algorithms for the optimization of specific planning or design aspects.
The knowledge provided through online seminars will be deepened in consultations and documented in several exercises.
Requirements
A useful basis for this seminar is the course Introduction to Scripting with C# or good programming or Grasshopper skills. In this seminar, you enhance your programming skills and their creative application for design tasks.
