<aside> 💡 Grasshopper is a visual programming language and environment that allows architects and urban designers to create complex parametric models of their designs. Parametric models are based on relationships between different parameters, which means that changes to one parameter can automatically update the entire model. This makes it easy to explore different design options and to generate iterative designs.

Grasshopper is a powerful tool for parametric urban design and development and it can be used to explore, evaluate, and iterate design options quickly and easily.
