Informative Morphologies

Informative morphologies, parametric workshop

SPARRO is a collaborative lab where individuals are invited to grow their ideas with a team of makers and innovators. SPARRO has been organizing workshops in the field of architecture, design, and robotics for the last 3 years. SPARRO has organized over 27 workshops across India and in 5 architecture institutions including CEPT, Ahmedabad Summer winter school.

The current series of our workshop is a vital step in initiating a movement for design thinkers and makers. Parametrized complexities is a five-day workshop that will explore fabrication, 3D-Printing, Laser cutting using computational and 3D modelling tools like rhinoceros, grasshopper, sensing and interactive technologies using Arduino. Take a look at what we created in our previous series of workshops.

 

Are you interested in taking your Revit Skills to the next level? harnessing the power of BIM using your own Plug-ins?

Are you ready to learn a very exciting and powerful tool that will take your ideas and concepts to a whole new realm?

 

This Two-day introductory course will walk you through the parametric modelling features that Revit Architecture has to offer. Revit Architecture by Autodesk is one of the leading applications in the industry for Building Information Modelling and is reshaping the way we design and build. The ability to create smart 3D models, where each object has attributes that collectively create a robust database for coordinating and extracting information, is one of the most relevant skills any designer should learn today.

After this course, you will know the basics of Revit Architecture, and you will feel confident to start creating your BIM models and retrieve information for your presentations.

This introductory course explains the very basics of Dynamo. At the end of this course, you will be comfortable navigating the Dynamo world. You will be familiar with not just the software, the user interface, the library, the nodes and the search menus but you’ll have some good references to go to for questions you may have in the Dynamo community.

The course is not only geared towards drilling technical knowledge, but also designed to show you the benefits of thinking and solving problems a certain way that might be new to you. Of course, the technical know-how is fundamental, but so is acquiring the attitude towards automation and visual programming in our everyday workflows.

This course introduces you to the basics of Dynamo and shows you the benefits these tools have in the daily practice of architecture, engineering, and construction. In this course, you’ll also learn how to automate Revit’s more cumbersome and repetitive tasks by scripting your own Plug-ins using Revit’s API and Python Scripting Language. 

Requirements

• There are no prerequisites, anyone from the design background or an enthusiast in the field of design are invited for this workshop.
• Participants should bring their own computer with the below-mentioned software installed. Further details will be sent to the registered participants.

                       1. Autodesk REVIT (https://www.autodesk.in/products/revit/architecture)

                       2. DYNAMO (https://dynamobim.org/download/)

                       3. PYREVIT (https://ein.sh/pyRevit/)

                       4. Revit API (https://www.revitapidocs.com/2018.2/ news)     

• A total of 15 seats are available for the workshop per workshop coordinator. Registration will close 3 days prior to the workshop or till the seats last.

Modular Man

The modular man was a part of the workshop at SPARRO conducted in 6 sessions where more than 40 people participated in all the 6 sessions. Each session lasted for 1 day and was distributed over 3 weekends. Participants learned how to create complex organic geometries in Rhinoceros3D, they also learned how to fabricate these modules using tools such as nesting use of CNC routers, woodworking, and other workshop tools. 

Classrooms will be conducted at SPARRO Studio, New Delhi

Classroom competitions are a part of this series of workshops and are meant for all the designers who want to explore their way with hands-on experience to gain skills and create real-world projects. Under this series, you participate in workshops at one of these Micro-studio and get awarded a trophy. In association with UNI, we are now expanding our vision of creating these micro-studios globally with a fusion of online design community and offline classrooms. This fusion will help us in combining different ideologies and diverse methodologies, to create a continuum that links ideas such as exploration, debate and collaboration at a global level to understand and create ‘Architecture of Everything.

EDUpass

EDUpass is a pass that can be used to participate in any workshop in this series (registration to be done 3 days prior to the commencement of the workshop). Multiple EDUpasses can be purchased and used in a group to attend a single workshop or a single participant can register for multiple workshops. For example, If you had purchased 6 passes, you can register for 6 different workshops or bring along 5 other friends/colleagues with you to attend a single workshop of your choice.

How does it work?

A Participant can purchase as many passes as he/she wants and 1 PASS permits entry to any 1 workshop and classroom competition of his/her choice.
