DESCRIPTION 

 

This 2-day program will set the foundation for learning and understanding the workflow to properly develop, document, and communicate architectural experimentations through digital representation. The objectives will be to explore the creation of form, color, and graphics to technically and visually communicate project designs and ideas.

DESIGN TOOLS 

 

The development of software used in digital design is changing rapidly.  This workshop includes cutting edge tools that increase your ability to produce work that reflects architectural ideas and individual expression. 

​

As a design tool, Rhino can create, edit, analyze and document curves, surfaces, and solids.  On the first day of the workshop, you will be familiarized with the interface and basic commands in Rhino.  We will then learn how to edit curves and create specific 3D objects focusing on the combinations of how these objects intersect one another and how they may be arranged.  The goal of the exercise will be to develop a series of carved objects with applied graphics to the exterior surface.

Workshop topics will include:

​

• Rhino and Illustrator Interface
