Hi, I’m David Copete.

Do you want to learn parametric design with Grasshopper? Every week I share tutorials, scripts, and resources to help architects, students, and designers get started—or pick up new tips and tricks to enhance their workflow.

My goal with these videos is to show you my process and workflow using Grasshopper, and how this powerful tool connects to architecture, engineering, and digital fabrication.

If you ever have questions, feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to help you along your parametric journey.

In this video I share with you the whole process for creating this set of shelves. The tips and tricks you learn here will be useful for many other parametric designs.

With this design, I started using a new tool called ReRenderai.com. You can take a simple render of your design, and be able to use this tool to create a realistic render with materials. If you want to give it a try, use the code here. This will give you 7 days free access and 20% off the monthly subscription

In this video I share the process for creating a dynamic parametric block for architectural drawings. All you need is a base curve you can set into grasshopper, and it will create a perfectly accurate door with all the parameters you can change. This will help you save time, and show you how to create a library of blocks you can use in your drawing set. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out.
