The course outline is the following:
Day 1
- Introduction — getting down the principles of form-finding and dynamic relaxation
- Catenary arches and vaults
- Tensile membranes
- Bending rods and grid shells
Day 2
- Collisions/packing/distribution
- Rigid bodies and mechanisms
- Bending shells and origami
- Meshing for simulation
Day 3
- Panels and grids for architecture
- Introduction to using the Kangaroo library via C# scripting
- Individual project development
