Fellow Pratt colleagues Ronnie Parsons + Gil Akos , Partners @ Studio Mode will be conducting a parametric design workshop here in NYC this December.

Description :
This workshop will focus on the conceptual context and technical understanding of parametric design through a carefully constructed 2-day curriculum. Participants will learn to engage the parametric modeling plug-in Grasshopper in a meaningful and productive way that draws upon the collective sensibility present in the group. read more

A symposium on technology and education organized by the School of Design Strategies (SoDS) Parsons The New School for Design

NOVEMBER 14, 2009,  12 Noon – 7 PM; Open to the public
“…cultural delta can be loosely described as the rate of change imposed upon culture/society by the speed and depth of new technology.” -from an online exegesis of Charles Stross’ novel Accelerando

Contemporary models of systems and cities rely increasingly on ‘multi-agent based’ modeling tools and theories, using digital techniques to analyze real world situations and propose design solutions. At the same time, radical and unanticipated forms of public space, communication, and subjectivity are emerging in the technologically mediated spaces of today’s cities. read more

HYPE is a creative coding framework built on top of ActionScript 3. A major goal of HYPE is to allow newcomers to Flash and ActionScript to creatively play and express themselves while they are learning how to program. To get started, the user needs only the most basic knowledge of programming – variables, conditionals, loops, and functions, for example. As the user learns more about programming they can extend HYPE and thus grow their skills, while at the same time inspiring the next generation. Check out Joshua Davis’ work on his site and some examples below.

In the past, we have seen the likes of Haresh Lalvani and Ron Resch producing ideas that have pushed  morphology and geometry into new areas, but there was limited access to high end computing to generate or simulate them.  Now with your average laptop able to process great amounts of information, things have changed not only in the way we work, but more importantly, how much we can produce and manage.   Enter Daniel Piker, who is producing some incredible studies and simulations of known geometries.  Daniel is using Rhino and Grasshopper to do most of these studies.  Please take  the time to see these amazing animations he has so carefully assembled.
