Course Objective

The aim of the course is to comprehend visual coding (node-based coding) techniques in the digital modeling process. This course aims to equip architecture students with the skills needed to solve design problems and improve 3D modeling processes using visual programming tools. Throughout the course, students will tackle complex design problems using Grasshopper 3D software and learn to create 3D models through visual coding in a variety of projects.
Another aim of this course is to inform students about the power and flexibility of visual coding and to introduce them to the basic principles of parametric design. In addition, it is to enable students to benefit from the advantages of visual programming in order to speed up the design process and easily perform various design iterations.
