ADP 3D MODELLING AND ANIMATION III

Project Lecture BArch2 Werner Skvara AU_1.16A Thu 9.30–12.45

The course covers the fundamentals of 3D modelling in computer-aided design. It provides students with an understanding of different types of modelling techniques and the skills to construct virtual models, extract two-dimensional visualizations and design basic animations. The course is closely connected to the BArch2 design studios.

Project Lecture BArch2 Eva Sommeregger

Let’s draw a thermostat: a thermostat and the space it generates. Manifold ways exist in which this task may be realised – each of them carries its own set of assumptions, presets and ways to look at the world. We will dive into some of these ways to explore their potential, investigating spaces that may only come into existence in 3D CAD. Or in film. Or in a 2D drawing. Or in AR. We will examine the constructs that are necAU_1.16A Tue 10.00–11.30

essary to realise those spaces using off-the-shelf-software in imaginative ways. Ultimately different tools will be employed to produce interactive spaces: their fluid and genuinely dynamic characteristics will be captured by students using the means of AR, resulting in spatial and timebased drawings that expand the limitations of two-dimensional static architectural representations.

Seminar BArch6 René Ziegler AU_1.16A Thu 16.00–17.30

The course develops students’ modeling and animation skills, including solid-modeling und surfacemodeling techniques across diverse software applications. It teaches advanced animation techniques, shading and lighting simulation.

ADP PARAMETRIC MODELLING AND DIGITAL FABRICATION

How can the idea of parametrically driven data sets be utilized at the more conceptual and creative stages of design development?

What impact could a parametric process have on the way designing architects think?

In this seminar we will investigate these questions by taking the parametric approach out the box it has been originally conceived for.

ADP CAMERA, LIGHT, PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEO FOR ARCHITECTURE STUDENTS II

Seminar MArch2 Daniel Kerbler

We will use software that is not exclusively streamlined to solving a predefined set of problems but equipped to process a much wider scope of input data. The student will have a chance to research how parametric concepts can be applied to the architectural design-process.

The research will not only focus on physical results such as plans, digital images or rapid prototyping models. It will also extend the boundaries of our intellectual approach, of our way we think.

The term “modelling” hints at a structure that can be described in 3D space. But this structure is only the result of processing input data AU_1.16A Fri bi-weekly 09.30–12.30

by conditions, rules and constraints, recursive calculations and simulations. That simultaneous processing of information and the real time generated visual output can have a strong influence on the way our ideas unfold within a design process.

Parametric modelling means to think parametric.

Eventually the parametric concept provides us with a new mindset, that has the potential to remove barriers from our thought processes. It can empower us to tackle problem definitions that previously seemed to be inconceivable.

Seminar Elective Damjan Minovski Media Lab Wed bi-weekly 10.30–13.30

We will create and work with 3D scans, analyze and apply techniques borrowed from the film, vfx and game industry. Furthermore we will establish a solid foundation on the topics of image synthesis, pointcloud/image/ video capture and physics of lights and materials.
