I’ll be assigning readings and example exercises out of this primer for the next month or so.  Check out the updated Syllabus for details, and get your hands on these great resources as soon as possible!

I’ve been using the second edition in every section of Parametrics I’ve taught to date, and we have always struggled with the dated content.  I’m excited to dive in to the latest and greatest from the boys over at Modelab with all of you!

ModeLab video tutorials

Local design studio and learning collective ModeLab has published a series of fantastic tutorial videos for Grasshopper.  These guys have been Grasshopper experts for years and are generous enough to share some of their knowledge on the web for free.

Here is a link to their free ‘Introduction To Grasshopper’ video series.  This series covers most of what we have seen in class so far and is a great resource for sharpening up on the basics.  Highly recommended.

I’ll be posting a few more over the course of the term, but feel free to have a look at all of these at your convenience.  They also introduce scripting in python pretty clearly, and provide a wide cross section of contemporary design knowledge.  They are charging for some of the more advanced content, but  lots of good stuff is available for free.
