Computational Design | Online Workshop | English | Europe-Mideast-Africa
Description:
Differential Growth Structures is a computational design workshop using Rhinoceros3d-Grasshopper3d-HoudiniFX.
The workshop’s content will introduce different methodologies to explore digital morphologies which will be enacted by the medium of computation and parametric design. Participants will be exposed to an atmosphere of experimentation on the potential of generative and behavioral systems. During the workshop participants will explore the interrogability between Rhino and Houdini. Starting with generative simulations in Houdini, ending up importing complex geometries in Rhino for further detailing and simulations. This workshop intended for designers, architects, students of Architecture and Urbanism, product designers, artists and everyone who’s interested in computational design techniques.

Hesham Shawqy IAAC,Master StudentHesham Shawqy is an architect, currently a master student at the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia, he is computational designer and researcher focusing on parametric design and digital fabrication, graduated from Ain Shams University in 2016. He is a tutor, having taught more than 300 people so far, his organization, Ingraft is considered to be one of the most advanced parametric design training platforms in Egypt. He is the author of various computationally designed real projects and competitions. In the past, he has worked on a range of design projects varies from products, historical documentation, museums, products, exhibitions and housing. He taught courses related to computational design and digital fabrication at the American University in Cairo, and Ain Shams University. -
Felipe Romero IAAC-Masters Student,Senior Urban DesignerFormally trained as an Architect and Urban Designer, Felipe advocates digital technologies’ potential to capture interdisciplinary collaboration to advance architectural design and urban performance. In addition, Felipe has a passion for advancing design excellence in Architecture and the public realm, including the benefit of public and civic infrastructure on people’s spatial experience. Currently, working at Weston Williamson (Sydney), Felipe brings his interdisciplinary and international experience to the practice with him. Academic Background: 2021 Masters of Advanced Computation for Architecture & Design IAAC, Barcelona. - 2018 Masters of Urban Development & Design, UNSW, Sydney - 2011 Bachelor of Architecture, Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Bogota.
