Raven at at Rhino World 2026

Rhino World 2026 once again brought the Rhino community together, with users from around the world meeting, sharing ideas, and making new friends over three days.

Among this year’s sponsors was Raven, whose team spent the event showing what AI can do inside Rhino. Their caps were a hit with attendees, and one lucky winner even made it into the team photo.

That’s what we love about Rhino World: new faces, familiar faces, and a community that keeps growing.

Thanks to everyone who joined us, and to our sponsors for helping make Rhino World 2026 one to remember!

Kangaroo Physics online workshop, December 2-4 (McNeel Europe)

 

Ping-Hsiang Chen, Senior Associate at Dar Al-Handasah and former computational designer at Zaha Hadid Architects, will lead a three-day online workshop on physics-based modeling, form-finding, and optimization with Kangaroo Physics, hosted by McNeel Europe.

This course introduces Kangaroo Physics, the live physics engine in Grasshopper, through interactive simulation, form-finding, optimization, and constraint solving. Participants will explore advanced modeling methods that use physical principles and material behavior to drive the design of complex geometries.

Through practical exercises covering gridshells, origami, curved-crease folding, and inflatable structures, participants will learn to define constraints, analyze geometry, and address common challenges in geometric optimization. The workshop will also introduce core concepts such as particle systems and material properties, alongside techniques for creating animations and working with NURBS, Mesh, and SubD geometry.

Designed for architects and designers interested in advanced computational modeling, the course connects physics-based experimentation with practical approaches to form-finding and geometry rationalization.

Regenerative Design in Digital Practice 2026: AI, Tools, and Living Systems

 

Join Living Future Europe and Emanuele Naboni on November 13, 2026, for the third edition of Regenerative Design in Digital Practice, a full-day online crash course exploring how digital tools, computational design, and AI can move the built environment beyond sustainability towards regeneration.

Through live demonstrations, practical workflows, and real-world case studies, leading practitioners will show how digital technologies support climate-responsive design, circularity, biodiversity, and human wellbeing.

The program features contributions from Bjarke Ingels Group, Arup, Autodesk, Autodesk Research, Raven, infrared.city, RhinoLands, VisualARQ, nuLUCA, CAEmate, Humanscale, and the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre.

Of particular interest to the Rhino community, sessions will cover AI-assisted CAD, Grasshopper workflows, parametric landscape design, BIM interoperability, and environmental performance modeling.

Launched in 2022, the program originally used the Living Building Challenge Petals to connect digital tools with regenerative outcomes, and has since expanded into AI, computational design, ecology, carbon, health, and living systems.
