This workshop provides a first introduction into procedual design and is aimed at advanced beginners. The course does not require any previous knowledge of Houdini, but 3D knowledge of other software is necessary. During the week, several meth-ods of data manipulation and the underlying procedural logic will be introduced. In addition to the technical basics, the course offers an insight into the creation and iteration of organic structures and algorithmic forms. The primary focus here is on the examination of design inspired by nature.
