1st International Course on Computational Modelling and Generative Design
28th June - 1st July 2023
Politecnico di Torino
endorsed by Italian Association for Shells and Spatial Structures Studies
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to join to the 1st International Course on Computational Modelling and Generative Design (Ph.D. third level course), held together with the 2nd Italian Workshop on Shell and Spatial Structures (IWSS 2023), to be held at Castello del Valentino - Politecnico di Torino, Turin, Italy, on June 26-28, 2023.
Participants will gain hands-on experience with technologies and techniques involved with the Generative Design approach, including computational design, scripting, simulation, optimization, and data visualization.
For modelling and simulation, we will rely on Grasshopper, a visual programming interface for the 3d modelling software Rhinoceros. Several 3rd party plug-ins developed for Grasshopper will be presented during the course to carry on FE Analysis and Optimization strategies.
The course will be held in presence and online. A certificate of attendance will be provided (20 hours of hard skills).
