Assignments
OPERATION #0: Concept Sketching + Warmup Tutorials

Students are expected to complete a series of base tutorials (available online) as the primary mode of introduction tothe Grasshopper toolset (augmenting week01 discussion). Additionally, students are asked to sketch an initial designproblem for study through various methodologies throughout the course term. The design problem will consist of aparametrically derived architectural component + a design agenda + an environmental or other analysis.

DELIVERABLES: Sketches, diagrams, + posted description of the proposed design problem.

OPERATION #1A: inSourced Operations (Accessing Rhino + Plug-ins)

Students are expected to integrate custom VB.NET script modules within Grasshopper to access Rhino operationsbeyond the base Grasshopper toolset as well as plug-ins such as Paneling Tools and animation software, therebyexpanding the generation and visualization functionality of the tool. The scripts will be applied to the design problemproposed by the student in Operation #0.

DELIVERABLES: Matrix of initial possibilities; GH definitions + related VB scripts posted to course website.

OPERATION #1B: outsourced Operations (Cross-Platform Scripts + Evaluation/Analytics)

Students are expected to build custom, cross-platform workflows (using provided scripts as groundwork) to dynamicalyconnect Rhino+Grasshopper as a modeling platform with an evaluation software such as Ecotect or Excel (or others)for testing and evaluation of component designs. Workflow connections will be based in VB.NET scripting, andstudents are encouraged to explore various methodologies for intercommunication such as automated text filewriting/reading + the User Datagram Protocol language. Additionally, students will be asked to produce an animation orvideo of dynamic processes in action.

DELIVERABLES: Diagram of dynamic system; matrix of final interoperable designs; animation/video of dynamic processes; GH definitions + related VB scripts + associated software files posted to course website.
