Today, it is impossible to imagine everyday life in an architectural office without a computer. Bits and bytes have already taken over important tasks in the design and presentation of architecture. The book, which is being published as part of an exhibition of the same name at the Architekturmuseum der TUM in the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich (14.10.2020-10.01.2021), is the first comprehensive look at the development of the digital in architecture.


From its beginnings in the 1950s to the present day, it tells this exciting story in four chapters and presents the computer as a drawing machine, as a design tool, as a medium for storytelling and as an interactive communication platform. The basic question behind it is simple: Has the computer changed architecture? And if so, how much?

In this webinar, you'll create a parametric analytical model of a balanced cantilever bridge in Grasshopper. Attach cross-sections, placements, and other relevant information to the road alignment and build a fully parametric bridge model for analysis and design.

Benefit from the streamlined workflow between Grasshopper and SOFiSTiK to maximize efficiency, flexibility, and accuracy.

Bongo 2.0 users are encouraged to download and try this WIP release of the animation plug-in for Rhino 6, Bongo 3.0.


New Features:

• Improved Connections Solver
• Improved Physics Workflow (BongoAddForceKeyframe and BongoAddTorqueKeyframe Commands, Physics Substepping Document Property)
• Convert IK models to Connections (BongoConvertIkToConnections Command)

Are you interested in gaining Parametric competency to push your design skills to the next level?

Are you ready to learn an exciting and powerful tool that will take your ideas and concepts to a whole new realm?

These Parametric Design Webinars (Beginners and Advanced) by Wassef Dabboussi will provide you with the necessary knowledge and ability to use Grasshopper, a free visual programming plug-in in Rhinoceros. The webinar will also include a hands-on parametric project.
