About this course

In this set of videos, we´ll take a look at how you can create a parametric model for doing formal explorations.

For this purposes, we´ll try to analyze and recreate the thinking behind the Peace Bridge by the Italian architect Michele De Lucchi.

If you have no prior knowledge of Grasshopper, you can take a look at our Parametric Kickstart Course where you´ll learn everything you need to know to get started.

Takeaways

  • Create parametric profile curves.
  • Create surfaces from sets of curves.
  • Extracting geometries from a surface.
  • How to test a geometry for its planarity.
