Advanced Grasshopper workshop, Co-de-iT, Firenze

Just come back from three intesive days of scripting in C# and Vb.net Grasshopper workshop.
Thanks to our awesome tutor Giulio Piacentino and to my Co-de-iT friends Alessio Erioli, Andrea Graziano, Bruno Demasi and Tommaso Casucci and to all the other guys at the workshop.

CO.DE.computational designer as new professional profile[Plug-it]

I took part at Plug it GH workshop in Rome as invited lecturer and in my lecture I've talked about computational designer, a new professional profile in our society. I showed my personal works in the field of parametric research and digital design trough different tools like scripting and parametric system.

Magnetic hexy field01

This is an exercise to test multiple attractors in a hexagonal field and testing the construction of quad meshes in order to reconstruct the entire field with only one mesh. The smoothing effect was done with Weaverbird plugin. More info, images and GH definition asap. Thanks to Alessio Erioli for his kindly collaboration.

Davide del Giudice is an OAT registred architect who works in computational design field and complex geometries and currently works as Senior Architect at Zaha Hadid Architects.

Co-founder of Co-de-iT ( Computational Design Italy) with Andrea Graziano & Alessio Erioli.

DDG collaborates with CityVision Magazine as interviewer for the computational design section.

Curator of aast09///advanced architecture Settimo Tokyo, Generative Architecture events in Settimo and Tokyo and a series of international parametric workshops with Andrea Graziano and CASARTARC.

DDG collaborates with Giorgio del Giudice, a 3D artist whom works across 3D modeling, rapid prototyping and interaction design.

Co-founder of A + Surface, Students Association of Polytechnic of Turin, organizing generative architecture workshops trough virtual/real models.

DDG is the winner of Guido Nardi 08, "Innovative technologies and complex shapes" prize and finalist by the International Archiprix CNAPPC under the XXIII UIA World Congress held in Turin with his thesis TMD_tsunami memorial design competition, network as design tools.

DDG graduated cum laude in architecture at the Polytechnic University of Turin, with a thesis project of memorial park and museum of Tsunami in Khao-Lak, Thailandia: a continuous refinement as design experiments by the method of form finding and investigating the fields of scripting

tools and parametric application as instruments of design.

DDG collaborated with Micha de Haas Architecture Bureau in Amsterdam, studio Kuadra in Cuneo, CLO architetti in Rome, Studio Comoglio Architetti, Giugiaro Architettura, Studio Griffa and ToDo in Turin.

He was an assistant tutor at the International Summer School "Prototyping the City", in the Turin World Design Capital event with Architectural Association ( Ecologic Studio) and Columbia GSAPP (Avery Digital Fabrication Laboratory) tutors .

Technical tutor at the design studio LPAIII Skyscraper prof. R.Apostolo from 2004 to 2007 and Architectural Urban Composition CAU08 Prof. Cesare Griffa from 2008.

He lives in London and Ivrea.

MadeInCalifornia///CO.DE.

MadeInCalifornia is a [CO]mputational [DE]sign blog online since Sept 2005 (definition by Generator.x).

The intent of this blog is to archive and spread experiments in computational design and parametric systems.

CO.DE. is a personal design research where the author shares his solutions and research projects, realized by advanced computational tools like scripting and parametrics models.

These projects are different to conventional approach of design where is a singular design solution, these projects are designed by parametric systems that produce a reactive intelligence and multiple iterative results responding to the domain of input parameters. These systems are been used by a bottom-up approach to respond qualities of emergence and continuous differentation with adaptive variations to urban and architectural environments.
