Hello!
I am a graduate student and am in my first semester of my Architecture thesis project. I am doing my project on parametrics and optimization algorithms. In august I begin designing my project. I am designing a skyscraper in downtown San Francisco, utilizing four or five different ‘parameters’ which will help inform my design and overall building form. I am going to solve for optimizing views, sunlight, etc. I just started using grasshopper four months ago and find it to be a really steep learning curve. My plan is to learn the programs this summer, before I begin my design project in August.
I am wondering how to best learn these evolutionary solving platforms, such as Galapagose. I would really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction. So far, I have watched probably every YouTube tutorial out there, but there are not many on Galapagose which teach you step by step. I have also looked into thinkparametrics.com which could be helpful for learning view optimization, but that’s it.
Thanks!
