Rhino User Webinar: Harnessing the Power of Generative Design to Shape Better Cities


Rhino User Webinar

In this webinar, we’ll meet Parametric Solutions, a Swedish proptech startup working to improve the built environment by using generative design and artificial intelligence. With Rhino's geometry engine and Grasshopper scripting language at its core, they have created a web-based platform that lets architects and property developers create and explore different design possibilities directly in the browser.

This webinar will focus on showing and discussing the possibilities of Rhino Compute in developing cloud-based geometry applications for the AEC industry. Parametric Solutions will share some of their experiences of working with Rhino in the cloud and demonstrate their platform, and some advantages of working with generative design and AI in early-stage property development. They will also explain their self-developed concept of design objectives—a semantic representation of important criteria influencing design choices.

About the speakers:

  • Sofia Malmsten is the CEO and cofounder of Parametic Solutions. With one foot in architecture and the other in programming, she wants to use her skills to create new tools and technology to form better urban environments. This drive led her to found Parametric Solutions with a clear vision of helping the AEC industry to raise quality and efficiency with the help of AI and generative design.

  • Alexander Radne is a computer scientist and software developer passionate about city planning and the built environment. With a master's degree in theoretical physics and complexity theory, he has a strong foundation in complex problem-solving and algorithm development. Alexander has many years of experience working with various AEC-related software development projects and is an advanced Grasshopper user. Alexander is currently working on improving the generative algorithms in the platform with the use of design objectives.

Bridging Data Science and Architectural Practice (by KPF and IAAC)

Bentall Centre’s Computational Design model in KPF’s Scout web platform

David Andres Leon (Head of Computational Design IAAC) and Brandon Pachuca (Urban Data Scientist + Web Developer at KPF) have been kind enough to share their latest article Bridging Data Science and Architectural Practice - Emergent applications of cloud computing in practice and academia.

A great intro to RhinoCommon, Grasshopper, Rhino.Inside, Rhino Compute and Hops:

"Architecture and computer science are becoming increasingly intertwined. The data science industry found a promising niche to leverage big data, machine learning, and web development to create viable products to automate workflows and bring new insights to market. Architecture can benefit from these trends, adapting product and web development to support advanced simulation and visualization practices."

Rhino 7 to FELIX Online Render


FELIX Render is a clever cloud-based rendering software for architects and designers. It offers superior rendering quality, rich collaborative material and object libraries, wonderful tools to quickly populate your designs with furniture and vegetation, the comfort of a 100% non-destructive workflow, and fantastic lighting tools. It can handle huge projects from an old laptop. I
ts performance is almost entirely hardware-independent.

It's very affordable and since the cloud is based on sharing hardware resources, it's also environmentally friendly.

Desktop vs. cloud computation time explained

What happens behind the scenes when you interact with a Grasshopper model on ShapeDiver? What’s the difference versus doing the same on your desktop? 

When working with parametric models, many users expect the same swift interaction from ShapeDiver as they experience in Rhino on their desktops. While this is completely understandable, there are many additional steps between the initial parameter change and the final delivery of the solution to your browser.

ShapeDiver's latest article explains in detail each of these steps and provides some insights on their strategies to improve the response times of your ShapeDiver models.
