+**The Grasshopper Paradox – Tool Agnostic Mind-set**
-**Computational Food Design: Teaching Rhino & Grasshopper with Edible Briefs**
+Dr. Milad Showkatbakhsh, Director of AA EmTech, explores "The Grasshopper Paradox": though today's designer must be fully tool-agnostic, Grasshopper remains the most effective path to that mindset. The talk centers on computational thinking, decomposing complex problems into modular, systemic processes, and AA EmTech's "Digital-Physical Continuum," bridging material constraints and digital possibility. The architect, he argues, has shifted from sculptor of form to editor of data. Drawing on his AD Magazine piece "From Genome to G-Code," the lecture champions a pedagogy built not on software, but on computational logic, cultivating problem-solvers who translate the mathematics of nature into the language of the machine.
-How do you make computational design instantly tangible and unforgettable for students? In this
+**About the Speaker**
-Educator’s Lab session, architect and Authorized Rhinoceros Trainer Jose Carrillo (American
-University in Dubai) reveals a classroom-proven framework that fuses architecture and gastronomy
-to teach Rhino 8 + Grasshopper with clarity, high engagement, and chef-industry collaborations.
-Jose shares concise teaching methods, standout student outcomes and awards, and an edible
-Grasshopper live demo, and case studies you can adapt tomorrow. He also opens his research and
-professional pipelines, demonstrating how computational design connects architecture, gastronomy,
-AI and art to produce fabricable, edible, and publishable results.
-**About the speaker:**
+[[https://www.linkedin.com/in/miladshowkatbakhsh/|Milad Showkatbakhsh]] is an architect, educator, and researcher specializing in computational design and emergent technologies. He directs the EmTech postgraduate program at the Architectural Association (AA), and leads the AA DLAB and AA Istanbul Visiting School. As co-founder of Wallacei, an evolutionary multi-objective optimization engine for Grasshopper 3D, he has developed tools that give designers advanced generative and analytic capabilities, grounded in the integration of biological intelligence into architecture and urban design.
