hopper no requiere de conocimientos de programación o scripting para permitir al diseñador trabajar de forma generativa y paramétrica. No son necesarios conocimientos previos de Grasshopper pero sí de Rhino a nivel básico.
Controlmad es Centro Formador Autorizado Rhinoceros y Rhino fab Studio.
Nuestros profesores son Instructores Autorizados Rhinoceros con experiencia universitaria, nacional e internacional.
El curso y los ejercicios a desarrollar están enfocados a diseñadores, arquitectos, ingenieros y estudiantes.
En este curso introductorio el alumno se familiarizará con términos básicos de la estructura de Grasshopper, como “listas de datos”, “dominios”, “estructuras en árbol”, etc.
Es un curso de 18 horas, con el que se pretende entrar en la lógica de trabajo de Grasshopper mediante diversos ejercicios, de forma que el alumno sea capaz posteriormente de desarrollar sus propias gramáticas, con la confianza que da comprender los términos básicos de programación sobre los que se apoya todo el sistema de trabajo de Grasshopper.Para este curso no son necesarios conocimientos previos de Grasshopper, pero sí de Rhino (a nivel básico).

ay how many valid permutations exist.
But allow me to guesstimate a number for 20 components (no more, no less). Here are my starting assumptions:
Let's say the average input and output parameter count of any component is 2. So we have 20 components, each with 2 inputs and 2 outputs.
There are roughly 35 types of parameter, so the odds of connecting two parameters at random that have the same type are roughly 3%. However there are many conversions defined and often you want a parameter of type A to seed a parameter of type B. So let's say that 10% of random connections are in fact valid. (This assumption ignores the obvious fact that certain parameters (number, point, vector) are far more common than others, so the odds of connecting identical types are actually much higher than 3%)
Now even when data can be shared between two parameters, that doesn't mean that hooking them up will result in a valid operation (let's ignore for the time being that the far majority of combinations that are valid are also bullshit). So let's say that even when we manage to pick two parameters that can communicate, the odds of us ending up with a valid component combo are still only 1 in 2.
We will limit ourselves to only single connections between parameters. At no point will a single parameter seed more than one recipient and at no point will any parameter have more than one source. We do allow for parameters which do not share or receive data.
So let's start by creating the total number of permutations that are possible simply by positioning all 20 components from left to right. This is important because we're not allowed to make wires go from right to left. The left most component can be any one of 20. So we have 20 possible permutations for the first one. Then for each of those we have 19 options to fill the second-left-most slot. 20×19×18×17×...×3×2×1 = 20! ~2.5×1018.
We can now start drawing wires from the output of component #1 to the inputs of any of the other components. We can choose to share no outputs, output #1, output #2 or both with any of the downstream components (19 of them, with two inputs each). That's 2×(19×2) + (19×2)×(19×2-1) ~ 1500 possible connections we can make for the outputs of the first component. The second component is very similar, but it only has 18 possible targets and some of the inputs will already have been used. So now we have 2×(18×2-1) + (18×2-1)×(18×2-1) ~1300. If we very roughly (not to mention very incorrectly, but I'm too tired to do the math properly) extrapolate to the other 18 components where the number of possible connections decreases in a similar fashion thoughout, we end up with a total number of 1500×1300×1140×1007×891×789×697×...×83×51×24×1 which is roughly 6.5×1050. However note that only 10% of these wires connect compatible parameters and only 50% of those will connect compatible components. So the number of valid connections we can make is roughly 3×1049.
All we have to do now is multiply the total number of valid connection per permutation with the total number of possible permutations; 20! × 3×1049 which comes to 7×1067 or 72 unvigintillion as Wolfram|Alpha tells me.
Impressive as these numbers sound, remember that by far the most of these permutations result in utter nonsense. Nonsense that produces a result, but not a meaningful one.
EDIT: This computation is way off, see this response for an improved estimate.

the river Plate is an unexplored opportunity. The grid that configures the city’s urban tissue remains oblivious to its context, imposing a constant order. Its relationship with the river is one of mutual exclusion; as soon as the grid reaches the river it stops, but never modifies its nature. There is one happy exception to this condition – the northern riverside area of Buenos Aires called ‘Tigre’, which responds to the topography of the natural delta. In this workshop, projects will embrace the boundary between river and city as a means of managing alternative metropolitan ecosystems. By challenging the traditional relationship between architectural, urban and natural forces, students will propose new territorial organisations that develop both floating and rooted structures that are responsive to the nature of the delta. In this research workshop students have the opportunity to develop a range of computational techniques in order to explore alternative design opportunities. Week 1 Organised in teams, students will work with the articulation of the grid and the river. The goal is to produce several iterations analysing the potential transformation of the grid as it reaches the riverbank. This analysis will form the basis of an urban design proposal that establishes a new relationship between the city and the river. Design tutors, including Victor Orive, Arturo Revilla and professionals from the A A and other institutions, will provide digital tutorials and lectures on their own urban design research and projects. Week 2 During this phase we will address how such conditions affect discrete objects and/or a field of objects. The goal is to design a pavilion and study how a gradual change in field conditions will affect its size, porosity and orientation. This will unfold new opportunities to redefine the relationship between form and function.

hops, design sessions & symposia across 5 cities in India. We encourage all architecture & design students and professionals to join us in this novel experimentation event and aid in 'Filling The Void'; Void in Architecture, Void in our Cities, Void in Education. REGISTRATIONS ARE OPEN NOW.
rat[LAB] Computational Design Tour - INDIA
Agenda // Filling The Void
1 country // 5 cities // 1 agenda // 100+ students // 25+ professionals // 5 exhibitions // 1 publication
Void is typically defined as null, invalid, empty or redundant and has a psychological perception of a ‘negative’. Through years of development in India, there has been an organic urban growth and inorganic architectural growth which has led to formation of voids in a physical and a metaphorical sense. There also exist voids as gaps between architecture, cities, education and technology. ‘Filling The Void’ looks at void as an opportunity, potential and a driver of change for architecture & design education in India.
