Workshop

Peter Mehrten’s workshop on building Grasshopper components in C#, inside Visual Studio, was attended by eight researchers from the University of Campinas plus eight researchers from public Universities from other parts of Brazil. A GH component allows to encapsulate a procedure used for generating geometry parametrically. By inviting people from other parts of the country, we expect to contribute to creating a community of future educators who will be prepared both technically and critically to revolutionize architectural education, encouraging the new generation to make their own tools, instead of being just naive users of the over-the-counter technologies. As late professor Paul Coates asserted in his las book, we need “to reposition the computer in architecture away from the ‘look no hands, I don’t know anything about programming, but I know what I like’ attitude of the architectural profession to a now developing interest in getting to understand this tool” (2).

We would like to thank FAPESP for sponsoring Peter Mehrten’s trip to Brazil and all the workshop participants for their interest and enthusiasm.
