Video Training →View Optimization Using Galapagos For Grasshopper

What you'll learn
Description
About
This course focuses on using the evolutionary solver Galapagos to optimize four building shapes according to their views. It continues from the Galapagos 101 course, to a more hands-on case study.By mastering Galapagos and getting an understanding of the power of an evolutionary solver, one can make smarter and better-informed decisions early on in the design process.
