2015. You will have the opportunity to play with an experimental large scale distributed framework we have been busy with over the last few months called 'Stampede'. You will get knowledge on MDO and parametric design, meet some of the developers of the framework, hands-on experience and investigate the gained results in an experimental atmosphere. You will be working with Rhino and Grasshopper during the workshop.
PROGRAMME
The workshop will start with an introduction on Stampede and the different technologies involved, such as cloud computing, parametric modelling and multi-disciplinary design optimisation. After the presentations, we will discuss an example use case, get to work with and gain some hands-on experience by applying your newly gained knowledge to design your own multi-disciplinary design optimisation model and investigate its behaviour.
REGISTRATION
Excited? The IASS conference organisation lowered the price of the two-day workshop from € 250,- to € 150,-. You can register here via the IASS2015 website. The workshop is also available for people who did not register for the IASS2015 Symposium. There is also a rumour around that if you e-mail White Lioness that you can get a code for a even bigger discount.
MORE INFORMATION
Keep an eye on the Stampede website if you want to keep up to date with the latest developments about the workshop. Updated information about Stampede and the workshop will be regularly posted.

tically give you back all the items of the list. However, if you give it a list of lists (as you are in this example) it doesn't know to extract the items in the internal lists. The script I suggest simply reinterprets each list as a single item, and relies on the component data processing to split out the items list by list. This also has the advantage (over 筑梦NARUTO's solution) of keeping each list in its own grasshopper data tree branch.
If you'd rather avoid the clunkiness of a second script component, you'll have to compose a datatree yourself. That will look something like this:
import math as m
import Rhino
from Grasshopper.Kernel.Data import GH_Path
from Grasshopper import DataTree
pi = m.pi
angle =0
pts = DataTree[Rhino.Geometry.Point3d]()
c=0
for i in rs.frange(0,5,0.5):
angle +=(pi/30)
layer = []
for j in rs.frange(0,2*pi,pi/15):
x= 5*m.sin(j+angle)
y= 5*m.cos(j+angle)
layer.append( Rhino.Geometry.Point3d(x,y,i))
pts.AddRange(layer,GH_Path(c))
c = c+1
a = pts

imilar topic with a Windows 10 user, which successfully fixed this issue.If you are tiny little patient, I think we can try the same steps in your Windows 7 case.For start, try these three steps:1) Close Rhino. Restart your PC. 2) Once the PC boots up, double click on the "regMapWinGIS.cmd" file in "MapWinGIS" installation folder.3) When it closes the Command Prompt window it opened, try running Rhino, Grasshopper and drop the "Gismo Gismo" component on the canvas (Grasshopper working area).If this does not help (you get the same COM class factory CLSID error message coming out from the "Gismo Gismo" component), then try the following steps, one by one:
1) Close Grasshopper and Rhino2) Run the Revo Uninstaller Pro and uninstall your MapWinGIS application along with removing all the leftovers from the registry. You can download 30 days trial version of it from here. Here is a youtube example of a bit older Revo Uninstaller. But the important part is that is shows how registry leftovers are removed.3) Restart your PC, and once it boots again, make sure that you are logged in as an Adminstrator!4) In your Start menu's search box type: "UAC", which will find your User Account Control Settings. Click on it, and a new window will open. Set the bar on the left to "Never notify".5) Turn off your Antivirus, which ever it is.6) Download the 64 bit version of v4.9.4.2 MapWinGIS.7) Right click on downloaded MapWinGIS-only-v4.9.4.2-x64.exe file, and choose "Properties". If there is "Unblock" button click on it, and then click on "OK". If there is no "Unblock" button, just click on "OK".8) Left double click on MapWinGIS-only-v4.9.4.2-x64.exe file and install it to "C:\dev\MapWinGIS" folder. Choose "Full installation" during installation process!9) In your Start menu's search box type: "CMD". Once the "Command prompt" appears do not left click on it! Instead right click on it, and choose "Run as Administrator".10) A command prompt window will open. Type the following command:
"your_regsvr32_folder_path\regsvr32.exe" /u /s c:\dev\mapwingis\mapwingis.ocx
If command does not result in an error message, then type this one afterwards:
"your_regsvr32_folder_path\regsvr32.exe" /s c:\dev\mapwingis\mapwingis.ocx
11) If no error appeared again, then open your Rhino and Grasshopper and check what "Gismo Gismo" component prints from its "readMe!" output.If errors appeared, please post their screenshots. Thank you in advance.
Please accept my apologies for the large number of steps. Some of them are quite simple actually (click on this, download that...).…

es has guided me in a - what I once thought - specific path within architecture, but recent discoveries (like the Grasshopper-community etc.) have learned me that the field of digital and parametric architecture is so-to-speak alive and kicking. This is also the main subject I would like to write my thesis about. It is however mainly the subject and defining its boundaries – what do I really want to explore and research? – which is the most difficult factor at this time.
A concrete idea is non-existant, and my current visions will probably be redirected when I have a first meeting with the promotors in February. Moreover there is the knowledge that it is impossible to make a thesis at the institute in Antwerp on no matter what subject in the world of digital architecture. Understandably too, it’s a small world and does not always result in realised projects, but in impressive imagery. At this moment however, I am thinking of two possible research fields to focus on.
In a first option the focus might lie on how digital design tools can be used to bring a certain aspect of interactivity to building facades. Such interactivity can occur both in the design phase and throughout the use of the building. The first scenario, in which the interactivity occurs when designing, I would focus on how the designer can shape a building’s outer perspective in function of environmental parameters: obstacles, elements that block sunlight from entering the building, visually important landmarks, etc. It should be noted however that focus will mostly lie on the design element, and less on the energy-efficiency and sustainability. Tools that will be researched would include Grasshopper, Rhino Scripting, Processing and ParaCloud.
A second possible approach could be categorized under both Swarm Intelligence and Generative Design and might study how the aforementioned digital techniques might be implemented in the new urbanism. We notably see more (innovative) interventions in which the design and planning is heavily influenced by movement patterns and morphogenetic parameters and functions. Based on the outcome of these scripted techniques, designers tend to work towards a proposal which answers a certain urbanistic issue.
All additional insights, guidelines, tips, comments are more than welcome in order to help me define the scope of my thesis subject. I must admit I am pretty new to this digital design world (it is not actively promoted at my home university, but it is promoted at the university where I am studying for one year now) and thus have limited experience at the time of writing.
Please also feel free to check out the blog post concerning this topic, which is a little more elaborate: http://nielswouters.be/thesis-digital-design-english/
Thanks for all your help!

what they really mean by that, as in what buttons to push, so I assume it's a Windows Path entry?
2.) Modify PATH
Add the install location on the path, this is usually: C:\Program File\IronPython 2.7
But on 64-bit Windows systems it is: C:\Program File (x86)\IronPython 2.7
As a check, open a Windows command prompt and go to a directory (which is not the above) and type:
> ipy -V PythonContext 2.7.0.40 on .NET 4.0.30319.225
Tutorial on setting a Windows environmental variable (path):
http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm
But this fails to point out that path contains many entries already separated by semicolons so if I merely add a new variable called "path" it's likely that I will destroy existing program function. There's no info on how to just tack on another entry, and the Windows 7 edit box doesn't even show the whole collection, but one item (!), so I copied the existing path into a text editor to see the whole collection successfully and added the C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7 entry after an added semicolon, correcting for an Enthought page typo of no 's' on the end of "Program Files". I also checked the others and many pointed to old missing directories so I deleted those entries.
...and the test fails and "ipy" is not recognized as a command, even though the path now shows up using "path" in the Windows CMD window, that is if I copy all by right clicking and pasting the stuff into a text editor to really view it all. I can run it from the source directory just fine.
The rabbit hole was indeed deep. Using the Task Manager (control-alt-delete) to kill Explorer and then Run in the menu to restart "Explorer," along with restarting the Windows CMD window however, worked. I can now invoke Iron Python ("ipy") via command line from any directory. For the "path" I edited path in the System Variables and not the User Variables. No, you don't have to type that whole crazy line above just to test the path variable, just "ipy" (and control-Z to quite IronPython) in the CMD window invoked by typing "cmd" into the Start menu search box.
From the CMD line this step did work fine:
3.) ironpkg
Bootstrap ironpkg, which is a package install manager for binary (egg based) Python packages. Download ironpkg-1.0.0.py and type:
> ipy ironpkg-1.0.0.py --install
Now the ironpkg command should be available:
> ironpkg -h(some useful help text is displayed here)
But of course Step 4 fails, giving pages of what seem to be error messages;
C:\Users\Nik>ironpkg scipy
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\lib\site-packages\enstaller\utils.
py", line 92, in write_data_from_url
File "C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\Lib\urllib2.py", line 126, in urlo
pen

File "C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\Lib\urllib2.py", line 509, in http
_response
...
Why can't I just download Numpy as a normal file and thus also have it easy for other users to install it when they use my scripts? This is just crazy and lazy. The Enthought developer has turned this into a computer game, with a missing registration link and then the last step spits out errors with utterly no information on how to fix it manually.
This Step 4 error is covered here:

teraction for its Correlations cycle, AA Athens Visiting School scales up its design intentions in order to investigate links among discrete individual architectural systems in its 2013 version, Recharged.
Recharged with interconnectivity on different levels, the theme of investigation will revolve around the design of semi-independent design prototypes acting together to form elaborate unified results. The driving force in Cipher City: Recharged is the synergistic effect behind complex form-making systems where interactive design patterns arise out of a multiplicity of relatively simple rules.
In collaboration with the National Technical University of Athens, Cipher City: Recharged will explore participatory design and active engagement modeling and will continue building novel prototypes upon horizontal planes.
As in 2012, the design agendas of AA Athens and AA Istanbul Visiting Schools will directly create feedback on one another, allowing participation in either one or both Programmes.

ase of resource and energy consumption identify significant developments of our time. Against this background and in the context of sustainable fairness to future generations, there will be a greater focus on energy and ressource efficient building structures.
This interdisciplinary course aims to lay the foundations of a „force based design“ through theoretical input lectures and presentations. Varying examples will show that the efficiency of structures depends largely on the flow of forces within the structure. Possible optimisation strategies will be discussed in the light of material saving and their impact on architectural form.
This course will introduce you to the use of digital analysis and optimization tools. You will learn to deal with three-dimensional parametric software (Rhinoceros 3D, Grasshopper, Sofistik, Karamba, GeometryGym, Kangaroo).
Finally, the knowledge acquired will be applied and developed in designing a pedestrian bridge or a slender tower.
Participants will be able to recognize the effects of forces as design parameters. They will recognize the potential of building geometry in the context of architecture and resource-efficient designs.
Information » Application deadline 15 May » Course duration 18 - 30 August » Course language English » Target Groups Master students, graduates, doctoral candidates and young professionals » Requirements basic knowledge of 3D parametric software is recommended » Course fee 490 € (100 € discount for students and alumni) (290 € discount for students of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar)

nteraction in the design of an enclosed volume.
Revolutions have occurred through architectural history and vary widely in terms of design methods and fabrication techniques. Focusing on inspiring natural form‐finding techniques, AA Athens VS works towards producing a large‐scale interactive prototype that alters in real‐time the perception of interior space.
Technology and architecture are coupled for the third year in Athens with a novel agenda of transforming an enclosed area and creating internal contrasting city‐life characteristics that transcend the local conditions. In collaboration with the National Technical University of Athens, Cipher City: Revolutions explores participatory design and active engagement modeling and continues building novel prototypes upon horizontal planes.
The toolset includes mainly ‐among others‐ Rhino Grasshopper, Processing and Arduino platforms. With the completion of the Programme participants receive the AA Visiting School Certificate. In 2013, the design agenda of AA Athens will connect with the agenda of AA Greece VS in the city of Patras. Participation in both Programmes will allow for a more extensive learning experience through additional tools like Autodesk Maya, Autodesk 3D Studio Max and more.
