about the workshop

The ACA – Minimal Surfaces workshop was a computational design course and an ongoing research initiative by the instructors, exploring fundamental concepts of parametric design and small-scale 3D printing. That edition focused on Minimal Surfaces.

The five-day course was open to anyone interested in expanding their design knowledge and exploring parametric tools. Participants learned to model and design patterns on different human body areas, such as hands, arms, neck, shoulders, face, and head. While basic knowledge of Rhinoceros and Grasshopper was recommended, beginners without prior experience were also welcome.

By the end of the workshop, participants presented their project developments from the week, along with fabrication-ready files. The goal was for students to create customized algorithmic body artefacts while understanding 3D printing techniques and parametric design principles that could be applied to other creative processes.
