Stay Ahead in Architecture with Algorithmic Design

Algorithmic modeling is where design and programming intersect. Grasshopper—a plugin for Rhino 3D—allows you to create complex 3D models. Dynamo is an extension for Revit that allows you to create geometry in Dynamo itself or edit the geometry in Revit files. Using a node-based visual language like Grasshopper or Dynamo allows you to construct data-driven geometry, automate repetitive design tasks, and create prototypes that would be impossible with standard CAD tools.
