Visual Programming with Dynamo & Revit - AulaGEO

This course is a friendly and introductory guide to the world of computational design using Dynamo, an open-source visual programming platform for designers.

In progress, it is developed through projects in which the basic concepts of visual programming will be learned. Among the topics, we will cover working with computational geometries, best practices for rule-based design, application programming for interdisciplinary design, and much more with the Dynamo Platform.

#AulaGEO Dynamo’s power is evident in a wide variety of design-related activities. Dynamo allows us to:

• Explore programming for the first time

• Connect workflows in various software

• Promote the activity of communities of users, contributors, and developers

• Develop an open-source platform with constant improvements

The need to make designs more efficiently and with higher quality in construction projects forces us to use tools designed to optimize time and resources. Mastery of Computational and Generative Design opens the possibility of applying a large number of innovative techniques for the conception of projects and the evaluation of multiple alternatives efficiently and quickly, obtaining unbeatable results.

The possibility of applying new design techniques significantly widens the range of solutions to be offered to end customers for the execution of projects. At the same time, it offers the designer the opportunity to grow in competitiveness, and facing new challenges.
