SmartGeometry Fall 2009: Open Platform
The SmartGeometry Group organized jointly with the Computation & Performance research group of the Faculty of Architecture Open Platform, a 3-day Workshop at TU Delft University on the 27th-29th of November. This event complemented Smart Geometry's annual workshop and conference event, bringing many of Smart Geometry's experienced tutors to guide participants in exploring computational design through a variety of technologies.
The event ran in two parallel streams: one stream featured training in Generative Components (GC) and Grasshopper, while the second was a workshop where participants had the opportunity to propose and work on individual design projects using a variety of software platforms. Both streams offered participants close interaction with tutors from practices and universities known for their accomplishments in computational design and analysis, and complex geometry. Additionally, the stream featuring GC and Grasshopper featured tutors from the companies behind each platform, Bentley and McNeel. In the evenings, participants and public attended presentations demonstrating the latest projects and research in computational architecture and engineering.
