Purchase options and add-ons

Algorithmic design is not simply the use of computer to design architecture and objects. Algorithms allow designers to overcome the limitations of traditional CAD software and 3D modelers, reaching a level of complexity and control which is beyond the human manual ability. Algorithms-Aided Design presents design methods based on the use of Grasshopper (R), a visual algorithm editor tightly integrated with Rhinoceros (R), the 3D modeling software by McNeel & Associates allowing users to explore accurate freeform shapes. The book provides computational techniques to develop and control complex geometries, covering parametric modeling, digital fabrication techniques, form-finding strategies, environmental analysis and structural optimization. It also features case studies and contributions by researchers and designers from world's most influential universities and leading architecture firms.

    5.0 out of 5 stars It is way more than just a grasshopper book!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2018
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    I consider myself as an advanced Grasshopper user. I was tempted to purchase this book to fill any gaps, I found the book helpful in explaining some of he principles that I usually overlook (multi-span Curves, mesh construction.....etc.).
    although these general ideas sounds helpful, I was surprised with the amount of theories and research papers embedded in the book, The AAD book hosts additional research publications by professors and design crits. it discusses Parametricism , Fractals , Fabrication Techniques, Rapid Prototyping , Form Finding , Optimization and how the entire dilemma of human-computer interaction is impacting our cities and the environment.

    If you are a grasshopper expert, you will find this book more rewarding on the values and visions of the AAD.
    If you are just starting with Grasshopper, this book helps as a spine to guide you with your learning journey.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Maybe she'll end up writing a book like this one in the future
    Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2017
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    My sister really wanted this book, and could find it nowhere else, so I bought it in the US and brought it to her in our country so she could have it. She studies industrial design, and has been making a career with 3D modeling, Rhinoceros, and lately Grasshopper for Algorithm Assisted Design, the last being a tool which isn't too much widespread yet in our countries' industrial design environment but which allows for complex design while increasing productivity a lot. She already had a lot of momentum, but this book helped her learn much more, and now that she just finished undergraduate, she'll continue on this career path in specialization courses and perhaps masters. Maybe she'll end up writing a book like this one in the future!

    This is a good foundation work for grasshopper and making parametric/ algorithm based designs. There is a lot of duplication of things that can be found in free eBooks online, but never the less this a good book to have by your side.

    Reviewed in Germany on September 4, 2021
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Für Anfänger im Algorithmischen Modellieren, wie mich, ist dieses Buch Gold wert. Ich habe es gekauft, da es auf vielen YouTube Kanälen empfohlen wird und auch ich finde es sehr hilfreich. In den ersten Kapiteln werden alle Grundlagen erklärt und auch das Interface genau erklärt. Es werden auch viele Beispiele gezeigt, die sich anbieten nach zu klicken und auszuprobieren. Klare Kaufempfehlung auch wenn das Buch nicht grade günstig ist.

    Les sources didactiques allant un peu dans tous les sens sur le net ( je parle pour grasshopper), je me suis tourné vers ce livre. En plus de l'apprentissage, le livre survole quelques pensées, ainsi que plusioeurs applications possibles.
    Je pense qu'il est un excellent point de départ pour tous ceux qui souhaitent s'investir dans la paramétrique.
