This semester I’m TAing a studio with Stephen Cassell from ARO. We’re focusing on getting the students to use Grasshopper to practice precision form-finding through the actualization of solar effects.

It’s still early and the students are already producing really good work. You can keep up with their work at FormFollowsSunlight.

The last two weeks I’ve been co-teaching a Rhino-Scripting class with Skylar Tibbits and Steffen Reichert to help introduce algorithmic design to some of the non-computation architects at MIT. We’ve set up a blog with much of the students work here.
The students all produced really impressive work and I’m proud to have participated in this class. Hopefully, I’ll carry the torch next year and head up the effort to expose the architectural community to some of the ideas that we work with in computation.
