Essential Details

  • About the Masterclass

    The ATN Grasshopper Masterclass explores computational design as it is applied within contemporary architectural practice. Led by Oliver Thomas and informed by his experience at Bjarke Ingels Group, the course moves from foundational concepts such as interface logic, lists, and data trees through to advanced applications including building systems and facade scripting.

    Structured across three focused modules, the masterclass demonstrates how Grasshopper supports data-driven design, iteration, and problem-solving within real studio environments, bridging computational thinking with architectural delivery.

    In the final module, you will apply your learning through a real-world case study based on the Serpentine Pavilion 2016 by Bjarke Ingels Group, developing a coherent parametric design outcome.

    You will learn how to:
    • Build a foundation in computational thinking through interface logic, lists, and data trees
    • Create parametric systems for architectural workflows, including building elements and facade scripting
    • Apply Grasshopper workflows to real-world design challenges through a live case study
