Dynamo for Computational Design

Dynamo for Computational Design offers an in-depth exploration of computational design principles through the use of the Dynamo visual programming tool. Participants will engage in project-based learning, applying Dynamo to real-world architectural challenges, enhancing their design capabilities, and streamlining workflows. The course emphasizes hands-on experience, allowing learners to develop a robust skill set that integrates computational design into their architectural practice.
Throughout the program, participants will work on various projects that culminate in a final design task, showcasing their ability to leverage Dynamo for innovative solutions. By the end of the course, attendees will not only gain technical proficiency but also the confidence to publish their findings and projects in Cademix Magazine, contributing to the broader architectural discourse.
