Workshop RhinoScript at ETSAM(Madrid)

Monday, April 20th, 2009

The last week I have been teaching at ETSAM in Madrid, doing a RhinoScript Workshop in GIGA  Departamento de Ideación Gráfica. Most of the Participants are professors of the university with high levels of mathematics and geometry. The rest, students with high levels in scripting (VB and processing). The workshop lasted two days, we start with Data Types, Mathematical Operations, Conditionals, Loopings, Arrays, Functions and Advanced Functions, Curves Analisys, Surface Analysis, Generation of Surfaces by Parametric Equations (in the group we count with a mathematician), Fractals and Recursion.

The atmosphere during the workshoop was really cool!. I would personally like to thank: Carmen García Reig (Organization and invitation), Ismael García (Organization), Antonio Casas (the mathematician), Pablo Miranda Carpintero (I’m eager to see the programming in Sketch-up), Tomás Pineda (Images), Miguel Vidal, see his blog: arquitecturaprogramable.es

With no particular order, some images of the projects during the workshop.

Seminario AGs – U.P.C.

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

Después de todos estos meses trabajando para el doctorado, las diferentes colaboraciones para ACXT, concursos con amigos (casi nunca puedo decir que no), la preparación de mis clases para la universidad, El curso del FIB sobre Redes Neuronales y computación evolutiva me han dejado muy poco tiempo. Y cuando lo he tenido, lo he empleado en limpiar los platos. Creí ver una civilización que había desarrollado inteligencia, había dividido el lavaplatos y se preparaban para una guerra con migas de pan.

Hago este post, de un pequeño seminario para profesores de la UPC, sobre Algoritmos Genéticos. Todos ellos sabían programar desde hace mucho. Habían comenzado con Auto Lisp para Auto CAD y eran muy hábiles con Visual BASIC, obsesionados con las nubes de puntos y el apilamiento de bloques.
Todos locos de la investigación y la exploración.
El Seminario fue muy corto, pero tuvimos oportunidad de intercambiar muchas ideas y estrategias en resolución de algoritmos y en la optimización de diferentes problemas.

Un ejercicio muy interesante fue el ByteString Problem, que comenzamos usando la fuerza bruta para descifrar una cadena de N bytes. Para luego poder incorporar estrategias evolutivas y poder comparar las diferentes estrategias.

RhinoScripting Workshop at Elisava, Barcelona

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

I participate like instructor, with Ernesto Bueno and the collaboration of Rita Mirele and Ruther Paullo in the RhinoScripting Workshop for the Magister Postgrau en Disseny, Entorn i Arquitectura, in Elisava.

The workshop during exactly 12 hours, divided in 3 days, almos 4 hours per day, in the first day we give them to the students a basic idea of what is language programming, some clues of data type and the use of the help, with the students we create a basis script to analise surfaces, and use this script to develope in the next 4 hours a project related with the environment and the architecture, the main idea was to follow the last workshop who started with Dennis Dollens, recently expositor of the Simae Simposium, few weeks ago that we start our class.

I would like to thanks first for all to Dennis Dollens, for his orientation, and support. to Ignasi Perez Arnal for his vision to involve us in this project, Marisa for the coordination, and the 35 participants for their patient that we have to let us explain this complex world in a couple of hours.

With not particular order, the projects developed in four ours.

RhinoScripting Workshop at Esap, Oporto

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

Few weeks ago (19 – 20 – 21 March, 2008) I participate like instructor in the Workshop Digital Design Process, celebrated in Esap Oporto with Gonçalo Castro from X-Ref, Pedro Sousa and Luis Soza from Red Architects.

This Workshop it’s part of the Seminar Digital Architecture, and this time was the second edition. We have 3 days to introduce the Scripting on the students, starting in what is a programming language and ending in curve analisis and nested Loops and Arrays. The theme, was a bridge, in an imaginary place can be in the Douro river…

To develop every project we gave to the students a base script that they used to elaborate their own projects and serchings. The images show the final poster and part of the process.
