Parametric Design Course
This course equips you with advanced parametric design techniques using Grasshopper to create climate-responsive pavilion roofs. Optimise panel layouts, structural supports, and material usage while ensuring solar performance, clearances, and cost efficiency. Produce clear, engineer-approved definitions for practical, high-performance structures ready for construction.

Your lessons are perfect. I got the one-year package and finally have the chance to follow several topics I'm interested in without having to switch platforms... I appreciate everything you do, and I've already recommended you to others...
