About the Course
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the workflows used to manage some of the world’s most complex architectural projects, combining the power of Excel and Rhino’s metadata to drive design decisions and track progress.
We’ll guide you through a prebuilt Grasshopper script based on a Supertall project, enabling you to track and integrate building program, structure, façade, and performance data seamlessly. You’ll also discover how to bring this information to life using Thornton Tomasetti’s cutting-edge, web-hosted visualization platform, Ellipse (ellipse.studio).
Along the way, we’ll demonstrate how ChatGPT can rapidly generate and refine custom Python components, helping automate repetitive tasks, solve complex logic challenges, and accelerate your Grasshopper scripting workflow.
By the end of this session, you’ll not only master TT’s current industry-proven workflows but also gain hands-on experience with the innovative tools shaping the future of design.
