FORWARD DESIGN OFFICE | LOS ANGELES, CA | ADV. GRASSHOPPER WORKSHOP | DEC. 6th, 2009 | 9:30am-5:30pm

Being able to quickly and efficiently control large amounts of data is vital in order to increase productivity with Grasshopper.  This one day advanced Grasshopper workshop will focus on developing strategies for dealing with complex data structures and list management through a series of well defined tutorials that deal with constraint based and associative modeling techniques.  This class will be similar in nature to the Advanced Grasshopper workshop taught at Forward Office Design in June, 2009 however specific topics can be addressed through participant feedback prior to the workshop (feel free to email me requests of particular areas of interest).  Note, this workshop does not require you to have taken the first workshop but will require a working knowledge of the software.  

If you are interested in signing up for this class, please email Jeffrey Kim at jeffrey@fwdoffice.com.  Cost $299.00 per peson and open to students and professionals (laptops required).

Location: Forward Design Office 758 East Colorado Blvd, Suite 210  Pasadena, CA 91101
