For designers who are exploring new shapes using generative algorithms, Grasshopper™ is a graphical algorithm editor tightly integrated with Rhino’s 3D modeling tools. Unlike RhinoScript, Grasshopper requires no knowledge of programming or scripting, but still allows designers to build form generators from the simple to the awe-inspiring.

The instructor, Andy Payne of Lift Architects, is an expert Grasshopper user and is just finishing up on his new book: The Grasshopper Primer. Andrew received his Masters of Architecture from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation in May of 2005. Prior to that, he studied architecture at Clemson University where he earned a Bachelors of Science degree in 2002. Andrew has worked for architectural firms such as Richard Meier & Partners and Skidmore Owings & Merrill in New York and San Francisco; as well as working as an urban designer for the Civic Design Center in Charleston, SC. Academically, Andrew has taught courses in the undergraduate architecture department at the Pratt Institute, as well as serving as a studio mentor and teaching assistant in several 3D Max and Macromedia Flash courses at Columbia’s GSAPP. He currently works and lives in San Francisco, California.

Note: Workshop attendees are required to bring their own laptops for use during the workshop. Demo version of Rhino can be downloaded here. Grasshopper is a free plugin for Rhino and can be downloaded here.
