_ INTRODUCTION
Hey all, My name is Hans-Christian Bäcker, normally called Chris, and I’m a 22 years old third year architecture student from the University of Stuttgart, Germany. I’m in Melbourne for this one semester as part of an exchange program and really look forward to see how architecture is taught here in Australia, as well as to exchange my knowledge from Germany and to learn from other students from all over the world. I have learned to work with programs like Rhino and Rhino Membrane since the beginning of my studies and fortunately already got the chance to realise a digitally designed project in the last semester, which I will talk more about on the next pages, but never worked with Grasshopper or any other parametric design program so far. So finally the reason why I decided to join design studio air was basicly the wish to enlarge my skills in digital design, which means in this case particularly learning grasshopper and making my first experiences with parametric architecture.
