AAD Algorithms-Aided Design Paperback – 1 Oct. 2014

The book did a great job taking my baseline basic knowledge of Grasshopper to the next level! Architecture is my field and it did a fantastic job of laying out the basics but working all the way through prototyping phases and other examples of projects being done around the world. I love the integration of QR codes to further explore the exercises that are articulated. I often find myself referring to the book as the "Grasshopper Bible" to my peers. So glad it was recommended of Grasshopper3D website and has been a phenomenal resource to really launch me into the world of generative design. Highly recommend!p.s. I ordered it from the Amazon U.K and saved about 50% on price despite extended waiting time. If you're patient, you can save a bunch of money because not many are in circulation in the states from what I found. Cheers!

This is a well written and very well made book. And it was delivered earlier than planned.This is a well written and very well made book.

And it was delivered earlier than planned.It is a portable source of relevant information for my Grasshopper needs; I design such products as concrete masonry units and carports with Grasshopper. This book is helping me close the gaps I have in the basic to advanced aspects of algorithmic designing. The part about catenaries is next up for studying. Great book.I recommend this book strongly.

Great book! Bought two copies for work, they are always being used by teams. Even the more advanced grasshopper users reference them from time to time. What's really great is the detail that goes into all of the plugins like kangaroo and Galapagos which can be really hard to find information about how to use. Highly recommend.

I would give it 5 stars but it is starting to show it's age now the Rhino 3D is up to version 7 on Windows and Grasshopper is embedded and has had a refresh. Sometimes it shortcuts some of the basic detail for new users so you have to be prepared to do a little extra investigation in the Grasshopper documentation on the Grasshopper site. Still, there aren't too many books out there that cover this topic so still a handy go to book and nicely written.

This is the only guaranteed way to learn grasshopper. I had no idea about grasshopper before buying this book, I always wanted to learn, yet it seemed an impossible task. This book along with the videos available online have allowed me to learn grasshopper in a structured way, based on comprehension, not by memorization. Congrats to Arturo Tedeschi.

A very detailed guide to oversee the whole idea of parametric design with Grasshopper. It's not an easy read, but it explains everything as clear as possible. If you want to get your first push towards understanding the basic principles of Grasshopper, this is the book for you.

This book is a fantastic resource for newcomers to Grasshopper. After spending hours completing online tutorials and working my way through various Grasshopper resources, I finally purchased this book. I wish I made the purchase weeks ago. If you are new to Grasshopper, buy this book!

The book is really informative and excellent tutorial step by step, definitely recommend to anyone who wants to learn
