Grasshopper 3d Mastery: Zero to Design Hero in
Grasshopper in less than 5 hours: Fast, practical training with key plugins for architecture & optimization
What you'll learn
Model a complete architectural project from scratch using Grasshopper
Use Voronoi patterns for intelligent site planning and mass placement
Design contextual urban elements like streets, neighboring buildings, and site boundaries
Perform accurate sun path and shadow analysis using Ladybug
Import and analyze EPW climate data to inform environmental design
Visualize and optimize solar radiation on building façades
Prepare parametric models for form optimization using Galapagos (genetic algorithm)
Prevent block overlaps with collision detection logic
Optimize building orientation and location for maximum solar gain
Create rotating buildings and analyze their visibility and view access
Perform wind analysis and generate wind rose diagrams
Model complex fabric structures using Kangaroo Physics
Convert Breps to Mesh with Dendro for efficient physics simulation
Analyze and optimize views and sightlines using Isovist and Galapagos
Generate urban models using OSM data and Elk2 plugin
Create shortest path networks and analyze site accessibility in Grasshopper
Apply real-world workflows in parametric urban and architectural design
Build a portfolio-ready project using advanced visual outputs and diagrams
Requirements
Just a basic understanding of Rhino (you don’t need to be an expert!)
No prior knowledge of Grasshopper is needed — we start from zero
A laptop or PC with Rhino + Grasshopper installed
Curiosity and a passion for smart design!
That’s it — everything else will be taught step by step!
Description
Are you ready to master Grasshopper – not in months – but in just a few focused hours?
Whether you're an architecture student, urban designer, or professional with a busy schedule, this course is your shortcut to real-world parametric design mastery. No fluff. No filler.
Just hands-on, project-based learning with results you can showcase.In this course, you’ll build a complete parametric design project — from site modeling to environmental analysis and optimization — using Grasshopper and essential plugins like Ladybug, Galapagos (genetic algorithm), Kangoro, and Elk2. What You'll Build:A full architectural site with randomized building blocks using Voronoi Roads, green areas, and realistic surrounding buildings A fully analyzable and optimized design model for commercial buildings and offices
You’ll Learn How To:
Model adaptive building forms and heights using environmental data Import real EPW weather files and analyze sunlight, shadow, and solar radiation Simulate wind flow and visualize wind rose diagrams Optimize building orientation, visibility, and placement using the Galapagos component Model fabric and mesh-based structures using the Kangoro plugin Import real-world urban layouts using Elk2 and perform site analysis and path finding Create powerful visualizations, legends, and presentation-ready graphics
Why This Course?
Less than 5 hours of fast, efficient training Perfect for busy students or professionals 100% practical — project-based from start to finish No prior experience with Grasshopper required Covers essential workflows for architecture, urban design, and environmental planning By the end of this course, you’ll have:A complete parametric project from scratch A deep understanding of real-world design workflows A strong portfolio piece to present in studios, interviews, or client meetings Skills to integrate data-driven design into your work — fast and professionally Plugins You’ll Work With:Ladybug (sun, shadow, wind, and radiation analysis) Galapagos (genetic algorithm optimization for solar/view/site) Kangoro (fabric/membrane simulation with physics) Elk2 (real-world data import from Open Street Map) Ready to Design Smarter, Not Harder?
Don’t waste weeks figuring it out alone.Join now — and go from zero to professional in less than 5 hours.Let’s build something amazing — together.
Who this course is for
Architecture, urban design, and landscape students and professionals looking to enhance their digital design skills
Civil engineers, environmental designers, and urban planners interested in integrating parametric workflows into their projects
Interior designers who want to explore spatial logic, lighting, and form-finding with Grasshoppe
Design educators and researchers seeking hands-on, visual ways to teach computational thinking
Sustainability-focused professionals eager to learn environmental analysis using tools like Ladybug
Game designers and 3D artists curious about procedural modeling and form optimization
Beginners to intermediate users of Grasshopper who want a clear, project-based path from zero to confidence
Anyone passionate about smart design, automation, and problem-solving through creative coding
