Instructor
Hey, I'm Kedar.
I am a parametric designer, architect and educator who is dedicated to creating digitally fabricated sustainable designs. I have a Master’s degree in Advanced Architecture from IaaC, Barcelona. I have taught in many colleges and organizations like InterAccess, Canada; KRVIA College, Mumbai; SJBSAP College, Bangalore and many others. My motive it to educate and teach people about parametric design to make this design principle accessible to everyone. My website- kedarundale.com
About the Workshop
The term parametric design has been in the field of architecture for more than 60 years but recently during the last couple of decades it has come in limelight and people are thriving to pursue it every day. But do we actually know what Parametric Design is and who started it? Or how do we become a parametric thinker/designer with advanced computational tools?
The workshop on Parametric Design answers these questions by learning and adapting the parametric way of designing. In these sessions, participants will learn how to approach designs parametrically, using a combination of geometric and mathematical tools inside of David Rutten’s Grasshopper 3D, that will bring their design ideas to life.
By the end of the course, participants will have learnt the principles and practices of Parametric Design by employing computational design tools. Inclined B. Arch participants will gain insights into postgraduate level studies in Computational / Parametric / Advanced Architecture.
Live training and Teaching assistance.
Our courses are nothing like a typical courses. Live Interactive Workshops with personal assistance and doubt solving sessions.

Participant Reviews
★★★★★
The workshop was really helpful and thorough. I had a very basic understanding of Grasshopper. However this workshop opened ways for me in the parametric world. As the workshop covered very small project to Large scale complex project I got a understanding how far parametric design can go. Instructor was really helpful and co-operative. It was an amazing experience.
