3D MODELLING AND ANIMATION I

Project Lecture BArch2 Werner Skvara Zoom / 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 studio.

INTERACTIVE DESIGN, FILM EDITING AND SOUND, SCRIPTING

Project Lecture BArch2 N. N. Time and place to be announced

The course provides an introduction to time-based forms of representation and the fundamentals of interactive design. It complements the introductory course on 3D Modeling and Animation I, and provides skills for post-production and editing. The course is closely integrated with the design project.

3D MODELLING AND ANIMATION III

Seminar BArch6 René Ziegler

In this course we will add live physical properties to our digital Rhino with Grasshopper models. The course will introduce Kangaroo, a live physics engine for interactive simulation, form-finding, optimization and constraint solving. We will apply the solver library and a set of Zoom / AU_1.16A Thu 16.00–17.30

Grasshopper components to model structural properties. Furthermore, we will use Ladybug to import and analyse standard weather data in Grasshopper, draw diagrams such as sun-paths and run basic radiation analysis, shadow studies, and view analysis.

PARAMETRIC MODELLING AND DIGITAL FABRICATION

Seminar MArch2 Daniel Kerbler Zoom / AU_1.16 Fri bi-weekly 9.30–12.30

think parametric

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

In this seminar we will investigate this question by taking the parametric approach out of the box it has been originally conceived for. We will use software that is not exclusively streamlined to solving a predefined set of problems as found in building construction but that is 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. Such research will also extend the boundaries of our intellectual approach, of our way we think.

Parametric modelling means to “think parametric”.

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