Shape to Fabrication 2023 Workshops

Taking place in the days preceding the Shape to Fabrication conference, we held a curated selection of workshops featuring the latest technologies delivered by industry leaders in a forum where attendees could make new connections, gain knowledge, and develop existing skills in their chosen field.

We were fortunate to have this stellar line-up of Shape to Fabrication workshop facilitators, supported by members of the Rhino development team from McNeel. Explore our 2023 lineup, and we hope you're inspired to join us on a future Shape to Fab workshop!

Robotic Fabrication for Industrialised Building Components

Saturday April 22, 2023 - Sunday April 23, 2023
10:00 - 19:00

The workshop is a collaborative design exercise exploring the design space of topologies that seeks synergies of tacit mesh modelling with computational form-finding, digital timber, and mass customisation of a kit of parts for industrial building components using RDF.

Delivered by Zaha Hadid Architects Computation and Design Group (ZHACODE), AKTII and Rhino Developers, McNeel

Grasshopper v2 for users of Grasshopper v1 – Delivered by David Rutten

Monday April 24, 2023
18:00 - 21:00

This workshop will explore how Grasshopper 2 leverages first-class data types, such as functions and fields, which are frequently used in components for localised number and vector inputs. Participants will learn how to create and modify these types. In addition, the workshop will delve into metadata, examining its properties and exploring different techniques for creating, assigning, and displaying it. Finally, the workshop will cover strategies for establishing data dependencies between unconnected components within a single file and between components located in separate files.

A not to be missed workshop opportunity to learn about Grasshopper 2, from its lead developer, David Rutten.
