Introduction

Matthew Greenwood Hi my name is Matt I am 23 and I am studying my Bachelor of Environments at the University of Melbourne with the aim of starting my Masters of Architecture in 2015. My journey in Architecture began at the university of Tasmania studying a Bachelor of Environmental Design, there I learned a variety of Design Communication tools such as Archicad, Google Sketch Up, Adobe Creative Suite and hand technical drafting skills. Having lived in Tasmania all my life and thinking about future employment opportunities I applied to the University of Melbourne and relocated in 2013. Here I have learned the use of Rhino 3D modeling software in Virtual Environments and my knowledge of Architectural Design is growing. I love the works of Herzog & De Meuron, Zaha Hadid and I am absolutely taken by the beauty of historical works suchs as the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul.

I believe the future of design is sustainability through technological and scientific advancement, I want to shape the world around me and I don’t want to limit that to buildings or installations.

Digital Design Experience

Most of my digital design experience comes from my studies at university. At UTAS (University of Tasmania) the majority if my digital design work was using Archicad, Photoshop and inDesign.

Once moving to UniMelb I started experimenting with Rhino 3D modelling software in Virtual Environments to creating a lantern. In this class we went through the process of modelling with clay and paper models and importing them into Rhino to form the basis of our 3D models. From there we tweaked and perfected our models for further fulfill the brief. The next step was to a pre made grasshopper formula that created tabs on the paper model for construction. From there is was a process of printing the flattened models and assembling it for exhibition (Right). Rhino was a fantastic tool for prototyping models. Sections of the model could be isolated flattened and printed to test lighting effects and structural integrity.
