The second evening of presentations for the Open Platform event might have been subtitled "designing with constraints". Quite by chance, all of the presenters focused on the issue of constraints in parametric and computational design, each from a very different perspective.

Participants in the trainings and workshop have been getting increasingly sophisticated in their studies. In the Grasshopper training students explored creating a repeating knot pattern on a freeform surface, as shown here in work by Giulio Castorina.

The Open Workshop has students working on varied problems. Peter Liebsch has been working on scripting random traversal of a surface by line segments, and has focused during day 2 on collision detection.

Open Platform Workshop: Day 1

The Open Platform workshop had a fantastic first day. All the workshops were full and participants were eagerly working away. Interesting explorations are underway across the trainings and workshops, with participants exploring constraint-generated models (responding to environmental, structural and fabrication concerns), mathematical surfaces and constructions, and creating interfaces for collaboration between design disciplines. The evening presentations in the grand Oosterre room featured presenters from TU Delft, Buro Happold, and Form Foundation.
