Computational BIM Webinar with GRAPHISOFT

Abstract:

Computational Design has become an essential part of the architect professional skillset, helping designers to realise intricate and fluid forms, speeding up repetitive task, creating parametric models that can be responsive to the environmental conditions, or simplifying their complexity creating logical models based on mathematical rules. These techniques are evolving rapidly and feed from the latest developments in computational science like Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, but architects and non-specialists can start applying some of the benefits of computational design by learning some basic Grasshopper and a few programming commands.

Join us on August 14th on a full day session where we will go through the details of this process in a sample project from conceptualisation and optioning within grasshopper. Interoperability with ARCHICAD via live-link or import/export, integration with simple GDL programming, python-script to automate ARCHICAD tasks and the use of visual scripting tools for object creation.

The use of these techniques can improve the efficiency any project, the quality of the outputs and highly reduce the time and effort spent on quality assurance and documentation production.

Speakers Details:

Jorge Benéitez

Is a Master Architect and Urban Planner by the Polytechnic University of Madrid (ETSAM). He has lived and worked in several countries across Europe, Asia and Africa. He is currently based in Hong Kong.

Jorge co-founded enzyme in 2015 with the goal of pursuing a better implementation of technology and the development of methodologies to improve the design and building process.

He is an ARCHICAD Registered Consultant and an expert on BIM and Computational Design, having developed workflows between both platforms seeking for better performance of the tools and enhancing the design capabilities of BIM workflows.
