Understanding the commands used in the tutorials
Putting everything perfectly in place
Learn how to design and create double curved shapes and how to draw accurately and using measurements.
This task was the first attempt in using Rhino, but I didn't learn from it much because the TAs mostly helped me understand what I need to do Even after this In-lab, I wasn't able to use the basic commands that we learned by myself, but that doesn't mean that it wasn't beneficial later on
- Get used to the Rhinoceros program interface and its technique in modelling
- Making rectilinear and curvilinear shapes
- Editing, moving and copying shapes.
- Creating surfaces; Meshes or NURBS
- Making purposeful 3D composition
Create a 3D composition that conveys a meaningful expression (value) from two opposing concepts using 3D modelling tools in Rhinoceros, which can be (but is not limited to) mixing and matching any of the following antonyms, or creating opposing expressions as per your personal view
- Creating a good model that represents my concept (Opression VS Freedom)
- Applying commands on Rhino
This assignment aims at practicing, thinking, and understanding some basic concepts of creating threedimensional form compositions that consist of abstract shapes using the basic 3D modeling methods in Rhinoceros application.
This assignment was different from the In-lab task we did because It required us to be independent in exploring Rhino commands and understand that tool more by ourselves. I tried watching tutorialsto help me understand but was still not benefiting much so I kept experimenting untilI was able to apply my concept to some extent Perhaps If I had a better understanding of Rhino I would've done better in this assignment
- Getting used to the software interface and mechanism
- Creating orthogonal shapes
- Editing, Moving, Copying shapes
- Creating curvilinear shapes
- Modifying shapes
- Creating surfaces; meshes or NURBS
- Making meaningful compositions
Freedom & Oppression - Freedom: an abstract version of a plant branch, because they have a flexible shape and they grow in size freely without limitations. Oppression: the plant being blocked from the sunlight, deprived of CO2 and water to produce its food. it in its place, the deformed helix as the swirled plants that are trying to break free and seek the resources it needs to thrive and grow, and the ellipsoids as the obstacles that are oppressing the plants from doing so. The reason I divided them into three different parts trying to break free and being blocked is to represent the major factors that affect the growth of a plant (sunlight, CO2, and water)
create a 3D model of Santiago Calatrava's Lyon Airport using the 2D sections given fitted with the measurements.
- Applying correct measurments
- Putting the whole model in one layer
Learn how to design and create double curved shapes and how to draw accurately and using measurements.
Although there was a clear guide on how to do the assignment, I struggled with measuring the model correctly and I still struggled with commands on Rhino, but it made me learn more about how to deal with Rhino and it helped enhance my knowledge on the tool
- Surface modelling in Rhinoceros using several techniques.
- Creating surfaces; Meshes or NURBS Making purposeful 3D composition.
- More training on modelling with precision and dimensions
Export an image for a 3D shot for assignment 2, which you have already created in Rhino, to Photoshop, considering the tips that were introduced during the lab tutorial sessions, then use Photoshop techniques in visualising it.
- Choosing a good 3D perspective to render from Rhino
- The time taken for the model to render was over an hour
- Picturing a scene that would fit with the purpose of the building
- Dealing with a three-dimensional form with a deep vision and comprehension of the material, light and shadows.
- Enhancing what was designed and submitted in an earlier conceptual stage.
- Embracing the representation capabilities and visualization skills
I didn't find this assignment to be as hard as the first ones because I was already familiar with Photoshop, as I have dealt with the tool before getting introduced to it in this course, yet what was hard about it is making the scene as realistic as possible
Create a purposful Buiilding designed to be in the metaverse as Rhino 3D model and Visualize it using Photoshop
- Drawing clean curves (drew polylines instead)
- Turning the complex curve into a lofted structure
- Created the connecting glass esclator
- making a good poster that suits the positionof the building
Building the official Meta headquarters in the metaverse, making it look like the meta logo from the top view and gave an UFO inspired structure
The mini project was a great oppurtonity for me to expand my knowledge in Rhino and apply all that I have learned so far. It was definitely time consuming to create the design exactlythe way I wanted. The poster design was simple yet it delivered the visualization of the setting I wanted the building to be in. Moreover, my instructor's feedback increased my confidence in how good y model is and it proved to me how much I improved in Rhino & Photoshop
Make improvements for your model for the first phase of the mini project based on your Instructor's feedback. Feel free to make any additional shots for the visualization
- Rendering the Interior shot on Rhino (Took a screenshot instead)
- Visualizing the interior shot in a good quality
This phase didn't include many improvements. My instructor told me to improve my poster design and include more shots that would help with visualization. She also told me to improve my form generation and include my inspirations. and so, I only made the improvements suggested by her.
Create a Revit model with one ground plan, one elevation, and one section
This in-lab was my first time dealing with Revit after hearing about it a lot from my Architect relatives. It was easy to make but I faced some complications with the measurements. To me, this was easier than learning commands on Rhino
- Learning how to 3D draw/model different components of a project in different software operating different modelling techniques for curvilinear and rectilinear forms.
- Operating the interoperability concept and create a live link between a variety of software.
- Linking between the three-dimensional imagination and two-dimensional parallel projections.
- Developing technical architectural drawings with precise dimensions and learn how to extract triadic projections (plans, sections, elevations).
5- Enhancing BIM modeling skills in Revit by assembling 3D building components associated with the technical information (i.e. walls, slabs, roods, openings, ... etc.).
- Solving technical connections between the building components (i.e. slabs-walls, walls-roofs, ... and the like).
Create the 3D Revit model and PDF format for the following 2D drawings considering the line weights of what is “cut” and what is “elevation”:
- Strengthening the three-dimensional modeling techniques adopting the BIM concept
- Creating meaningful projections and alignment amongst the triadic projections (plan, section, elevation)
- Learning the building construction technical information required to model a building.
- Learning how to draw architectural drawings with precise dimensions and how to develop through the triadic projections.
- Getting introduced to the three-dimensional modeling procedure on Revit by using the building components as commands (walls, slabs, roofs, openings, staircases etc )
- Solving the technical connections between the building components (slabs versus walls; etc.).
- Publishing 1:50 PDF drawings
- Introducing knowledge of building construction elements (i.e., walls, slabs, roofs, staircases openings etc )
This in-lab was very similar to the one before it, but with slight changes. We learned how to build stairs and railings and how to find other components to add like different window types
Model the Centre Pompidou-Metz in Metz on Rhino and then Insert it on to Revit to build and Identify floors, walls, and roofs, applying the interoperability process
- Basic Rhino modeling techniques.
- Basic Revit modeling techniques
- Picking and transforming surfaces building components.
- Learning how to 3D draw/model different components of a project in different software operating different modeling techniques for curvilinear and rectilinear forms.

6. Solving technical connections between the building components (i e slabs-walls, walls-roofs, and the like)
This assignment was so fun, It was the most understandable and smoothly going assignment I made since the beginning of the course in my opinion I faces no complications while doing it and definitely learned more about Revit and that we can integrate between the different tools we use to create interesting buildings and architectural models.
Render the 2D projections by assigning materials with textures or reflections, casting shadows for daytime shots or showing artificial lighting for night shots, and adding real-life effect elements; i.e. people, landscape. The produced renders are expected to be as realistic as possible.
- Finding good resloution png items and pictures to make the Photoshop visualization look as realistic as possible
render the 2D projections by assigning materials with textures or reflections, casting shadows for daytime shots or showing artificial lighting for night shots, and adding real-life effect elements;
This was the second most fun assignment we had In my opinion. It was very time consuming because I had to dig deep to find the exact material and furniture that match the theme I'm going for. It also took a lot of time to finish because if when I manage to fid suitable materials, I notice that it's very bad quality and would look pixeled, so I tried as much as I can not to add pixilated items to make it look realistic
Apply the process of Interaprobality between Rhino & Revit onto your mini project Rhino model and create a visualization afterwards on Photoshop
- Identifying masses as walls on Revit
- Creating an element from scratch on Revit (Elevators)
- The scale of the Rhino model was too small; rescaling for realistic measurments
- Strengthening the three-dimensional modeling techniques, you have learned on Rhino and Revit.
- Mastering Interoperability feature between Rhino and Revit allowing merging free-form modeling with BIM Platform.
- Creating a meaningful, conceptual 3d composition that can be perceived and writing a summary of your idea (rationale)
- Producing drawings from Revit at a certain scale and printing correct (precise) dimensions.
- Mastering post-production (rendering techniques) on Photoshop.
- Poster design to present your project with accurate drawings and panelling.
Out of all phases of this project, this was the hardest yet most enjoyable process. Getting to see how a simple idea can be applied on Revit as a building with walls, roofs, and floors. I suffered a lot because I found out that my scaling didn't fit into the realistic measurements, especially between floors and ceilings
tion of what our final project in like, I have modeled my group ' s eractive bench with the cats on r Idea to our instructor to help her visualize the final product with the materials and the different views. This was the first Idea we came up with, which was inspired by parametric architecture.
t our final project in like, I have modeled my group ' s eractive bench with the cats on r Idea to our instructor to help her visualize the final product with the materials and the different views. This was the second idea me and my partner came up with after being separated from the group and it was focused on manipulation of the geometry of Triangles.
tion of what our final project in like, I have modeled my group ' s eractive bench with the cats on r Idea to our instructor to help her visualize the final product with the materials and the different views. After developing the second idea to look richer and more dynamic, this was the latest idea we came up with, still focusing on the manipulation of the geometry of Triangles.
