There is an upcoming Grasshopper session this Saturday 26th February, which will be in the Spring House computer lab, and will start at 9:30 am. It will be led by Arthur Mamou Mani and Kengo Skorick.
This session will be individual tutorials, on a first come, first served basis, so is a good opportunity to discuss any problems you need addressing.
Please bring your own laptops if possible, as Grasshopper is developing so rapidly, by the time it is rolled out on the school PCs it is already out of date.
If you already have Rhino and Grasshopper installed, please also install
Grasshopper Version 8.003

Geco plugin for Grasshopper

Prior to our departure for Michigan we need to develop suitable tectonic systems for robotic fabrication. Today’s session will introduce a range of simple and advanced modeling techniques in rhino and also a fabric simulation applet in Processing.
Here is a link to a previous rod bending project undertaken at Michigan’s Taubmann College.
