Descrizione AAD Algorithms-Aided Design. Parametric strategies using grasshopper
“Algorithmic design is not simply the use of computer to design architecture and objects. Algorithms allow designers to overcome the limitations of traditional CAD software and 3D modelers, reaching a level of complexity and control which is beyond the human manual ability”
The book “Algorithms-Aided Design” by Arturo Tedeschi presents design methods based on the use of Grasshopper®, a visual algorithm editor tightly integrated with Rhinoceros®, the 3D modeling software by McNeel & Associates allowing users to explore accurate freeform shapes. The book provides computational techniques to develop and control complex geometries, covering parametric modeling, digital fabrication techniques, form-finding strategies, environmental analysis and structural optimization. It also features case studies and contributions by researchers and designers from world’s most influential universities and leading architecture firms.
Main topics:
Grasshopper environment and plug-in software
Parametric modeling and advanced data management
NURBS curves and surfaces
Meshes and Subdivision Surfaces
Digital fabrication techniques
Recursions
Form-finding strategies
Particle-spring systems
Topology Optimization
Evolutionary solvers
Environment-informed design
The book features step by step procedures relying on complete Grasshopper’s definitions, graphics and images. QR Codes allow readers to access complex Grasshopper algorithms via tablet/smartphone for a better visualization.

Un manuale da... manuale-7 novembre 2017
Nonostante sia scritto in inglese, anche per chi come me non ha un assoluta padronanza della lingua, il libro risulta ampiamente comprensibile, grazie anche ai grafici allegati. Arturo Tedeschi spiega passo passo l'utilizzo del plug-in grasshopper, partendo dalle basi. Dopo qualche pagina avevo già battezzato questo libro come uno degli acquisti più azzeccati. Lo consiglio a tutti quelli che vogliono imparare ad utilizzare grasshopper ed entrare nei concetti parametrici dell 'Architettura.
