Design Computing: 3D Modeling in Rhinoceros with Python/Rhinoscript by University of Michigan

What are the benefits of a designer learning to code?

Designers must understand how to utilize and construct design computing programs as the usage of algorithms has become more prevalent in our world. Designers must look beyond the limiting use of computers to automate routine drafting/modeling chores and instead consider the enormous potential that digitalization has for design culture and practice.

This course will show you Python code in terms of its rules and grammar, as well as what learners can accomplish with it in terms of application and design. It is organized around a set of fundamental design challenges. By the end of this course, you will have a solid understanding of Python and Rhino script fundamentals, as well as how to apply them in geometrically focused design courses and exercises.

Subjects covered in this course:

- An introduction to Design Computing as a subject and why designers should learn to code.

- The fundamentals of coding in the Python scripting language. By the end of the course students will be familiar with the basic structure and syntax of this language.

- The understanding and application of Rhinoscriptsyntax, a native coding language in Rhinoceros that’s imported into Python, which allows one to create and control geometries through authoring code.

- The application of Procedural Logics - the structuring of coding systems to produce variable geometric form.

- The output of geometries in still and animate forms.
