Behavioral Topologies investigates the relationship between topology and form-finding strategies. Participants will be working on their own selected projects, using techniques presented in the workshop. Workshop exercises will use Polygonal Modeling in combination with Particle Systems, Structural Analysis, Topology Optimization, Evolutionary Solvers and Vectorial Fields to design forms of different scale and complexity. The proposed workflow will combine the use of Maya, Rhino, and Grasshopper with some plug-ins such as Kangaroo, Millipede, Weaverbird, and others. During the workshop, participants will be introduced to polygonal modeling in Maya, visual programming in grasshopper, and will learn how to prepare their final model for 3D Printing.
