Introducing RESThopper – a system for remote solving grasshopper definitions, making it possible to run GH defs in the web browser, which also happens to be the project that made us WIN (!!) the AECTech2018 hackathon this past weekend in NYC. Here’s how it works: 1. Launch the web app, 2. Copy and paste the content of the GHX file you want to solve, 3. … Continue reading introducing RESThopper
During the AEC Tech workshop today, me and Daniel Segraves from CORE studio talked about different approaches to structural optimization: form-finding, relaxation, genetic algorithms, cross-section optimization, pattern optimization and more! Continue reading snapshot from the AEC Tech workshop
There are a few spots still available in the Structural Optimization workshop I’m co-teaching at the AEC Tech Symposium next week in NYC. If you’re in the area and interested in the topic, be sure to join us! http://core.thorntontomasetti.com/aec-tech-2018/aec-tech-2018-workshops/ Continue reading available seats in structural optimization workshop I’m co-teaching next week

Random personal reflection from the Advances in Architectural Geometry conference hosted at Chalmers University of Technology last week: For the first time I feel like the Swedish AEC industry starts to understand the true power of computational design and how it can help solving the major challenges we face in our business. I’ve never before met so many representatives from major AEC firms operating in Sweden/Scandinavia … Continue reading computational design in sweden (reflection from AAG2018)
I was invited through CORE studio to co-organize a workshop at the Advances in Architectural Geometry (AAG) conference on the theme form active structures, this year held at Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden. Workshop 1: Form-active structures with Kangaroo/K2Engineering – AAG 2018 The workshop focused on the design and analysis of form-active structures using Kangaroo and K2Engineering. In particular, it aims at investigating the enriched … Continue reading workshop at advances in architectural geometry 2018
I finally got around to migrate the content from my previous website plsndesigntech.com to this wordpress driven page. It feels good not having to worry about the backend and infrastructure of the site anymore. Previously everything was managed using PHP/MySQL/HTML/CSS etc, and I had to manually push new data to the DB everytime I wanted to make an update (there was no CMS whatsoever). Here … Continue reading new website
