Modeling 3D Patterns with Rhino Grasshopper
A course by Arturo Tedeschi , Architect and Computational Designer
Learn algorithmic modeling to create 3D patterns for fashion, jewelry, or architecture, from the initial concept and design to the final file for 3D printing

Algorithms are the language of modern-day society. According to architect and computational designer Arturo Tedeschi, the idea of "conceiving, designing, and creating through algorithms means entering a dimension where the physical limits imposed by a pen or mouse no longer exist." In this online course, he teaches you to speak this contemporary language by introducing you to 3D modeling with Grasshopper for Rhino.
Arturo, who shares his knowledge as a consultant for businesses, architecture studios, and universities, shows you how to create complex 3D structures and patterns by exploring the relationship between algorithms and creativity. Learn how to use this cutting-edge software and its features to build a 2D pattern and transform it into 3D surfaces. Let your imagination run wild and forge a path to never-before-seen designs with digital technology.

You also need a computer with Rhinoceros (Grasshopper is integrated into the software) and the Lunchbox plug-in.
Reviews
A course by Arturo Tedeschi
Arturo Tedeschi is an architect and computational designer who lives and works in Milan. After studying architecture in Naples, he went on to work in multiple architecture and interior design studios. He later discovered algorithmic modeling, which combines his two greatest passions: programming and design.
Driven by his fascination for this branch of modeling, he became a self-taught expert on the subject and even wrote a book about it called Architettura Parametrica – Introduzione a Grasshopper, which has seen success in the form of new editions, a translation into English, and multiple printings. Since then, he's been traveling around Italy sharing his knowledge with students and providing consulting services for businesses, architecture studios, and universities.
