Abstract

The programming of CAD systems allows the development of generative design systems and the control of the automation of production by CNC machines. The objective of this project is to introduce a new programming technique - Python in Grasshopper environment - in the research group Theories and Technologies of contemporary design, giving continuity to the project Contemporary Architecture and Automation.
