The world´s largest 3D printed concrete bridge

The Bridge Project is an initiative of Rijkswaterstaat and the Studio Michiel Van Der Kley in collaboration with the Technical University Eindhoven.

The world's longest 3D printed concrete pedestrian bridge is being assembled and placed in the Netherlands.

This innovative and disruptive project shows the existing potential between the world of construction and 3D printing.

This bridge of 29 meters long is entirely built with the aid of Rhino and Grasshopper.

 
The mix of techniques used for this project makes it possible to create a design with complex shapes that would be almost impossible to do with traditional construction methods.

"Most concrete constructions are being made with the aid of molds. Molds are not only expensive, but they are also partly responsible for a bigger uniformity. When you 3D print, you do not use a mold.

Apart from these advantages, we use very powerful and unique software that gives us the ability to not just make this one model but a series of models. Models that belong to the same family but are distinctly different at the same time".

3D Model Library for Rhino by RhinoCenter Turkey

The 3D Model marketplace has been dominated by polygon mesh geometries and there were several reasons for that, (until now). Being widely used in many industries—such as marine, jewelry, furniture, architecture, or even aviation—for design, visualization, engineering and production purposes, Rhino deserves the most diverse and yet clean 3D model library above all. Evolved on top of this idea, after two years of work, the 3D Model Library for Rhinoceros is ready! 

 

Already hosting around 3000 native Rhino 3D models, the library will soon evolve into Rhino 3D Model Marketplace. The plans of the Marketplace are to categorize models by “Design” and “Generic” models and integrate the library with a parametric environment to use the strong side of Rhino and give any visitor the chance to order the actual product.

 

Let’s Design, Model, Present, Analyse and Realize!

Syntactic Elements V1.0 Webinar by DesignMorphine (June 26, 2021)

Syntactic Elements V1.0 Webinar by DesignMorphine
June 26, 2021

Syntactic Elements V1.0 will explore a direct mesh to fabrication workflow through mesh strip element discretization with Grasshopper. This technique is suitable for multiple scales of installations and materials ranging from paper to metal plating. 

In this course we will start with adapting mesh form-finding techniques using Kangaroo to site-specific considerations. We will then deconstruct the resultant mesh into triangle strips using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to ensure various design goals. The proposed workflow is capable of rationalizing doubly-curved geometries and forms that resist quad panel planarization. Using parallel data streams to reference relationships between parts and the whole, we will develop a labeling system that doubles as an assembly ruleset and apply it to the fabrication data. Students will be able to export their results in color-coded, optimally packed curves suitable for laser cutting or similar processes. 

In the end, students will learn how to design, optimize, rationalize, and document parts that can be laser cut to construct a real-world structural whole that can be easily assembled for quick and efficient fabrication.

INDESEM.21: DATASCAPE - International Design Seminar (May 29-June 3, 2021)

INDESEM.21: DATASCAPE - International Design Seminar

May 29-June 3, 2021

INDESEM (International Design Seminar) is a biennale founded by a group of students in 1962 and reinitiated in 1986 by Herman Hertzberger. The biennale is hosted at the faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment of the Delft University of Technology.

The program of the INDESEM seminar week consists of lectures, excursions and a workshop, all organized around a specific contemporary theme. Every edition of the seminar aims to raise awareness about this theme and its consequences for the architectural practice. The seminar provides an environment in which students, tutors, architects, and theorists engage in conversation and discussion about the current and future position of the architect within society.

INDESEM 2021: ‘DATASCAPE’

Today, the built environment is rapidly becoming an intersection between the physical and the digital worlds. The rise of the digital world is challenging the traditional design process. Data influences many aspects of our lives, from the ads we see on our social media feeds to the music recommendations on our Spotify pages. Every action, feeling and step taken in the buildings we design can now be quantified. However, the impact of Big Data on our physical spaces remains unclear. How could data—about how people live, breathe and move through the projects we create—influence our future architectural designs?

INDESEM.21 offers you the chance to have personal conversations with architects at the forefront of the digital revolution, for example, a lecture by McNeel (Rhinoceros). Other speakers announced are Norman Foster (Foster + Partners), Patrik Schumacher (Zaha Hadid Architects), Ben van Berkel (UNStudio), Winy Maas (MVRDV), Kim Herforth Nielsen (3XN), Caro van de Venne (Barcode Architects), Wessel van Beerendonk (Studio RAP), Georg Vrachliotis (Professor Theory of Architecture and Digital Culture), Lennaert van Capelleveen (ArchiTech Company) and Sanne van der Burgh (MVRDV).

There will also be a lecture by Verena Vogler (McNeel Europe) about new Rhino and Grasshopper frameworks (Rhino.Inside, Rhino.Compute) and EU Research projects.

INDESEM has had the honor of hosting internationally acclaimed architects such as Aldo van Eyck, Adriaan Geuze, Rem Koolhaas, Wiel Arets, Ben van Berkel, Winy Maas, Daan Roosegaarde, Jean Nouvel, Shigeru Ban, Steven Holl, Greg Lynn, Peter Cook and Renzo Piano, and theorists such as Saskia Sassen, Bruno Latour, Anthony Vidler, Neil Leach and Michael Speaks.

Organization

INDESEM is organized by a student committee, consulted by renowned faculty professors. Herman Hertzberger, Wiek Röling, Michiel Riedijk and Winy Maas curated previous editions of the seminar. The INDESEM.21 board consists of Hidde Dijkstra, Tijmen Smith, Willem Damen, Inez Spaargaren, Valentin Zech, Louisa Hollander, Nadine Nossbaum and Elina Gaillard.

DesignMorphine Masters Degree (Sep 2021-June 2022)

DesignMorphine Masters Degree

Sep 2021 to Jun 2022 (9 Months)

Everything humanity has designed so far is limited and based on how our bodies are designed and work, the way they experience reality around us. However, in this age and time, we have reached the crossroads where technology can and will eventually shape not only our minds but our body, as well. In this sense, designing the future entails, first and foremost, designing the body that will live that future. Challenges inevitably arise and demand innovators and pioneers to overcome them; new tools and new technologies are required to materialize the answer; limits and boundaries will be crossed, and the equilibrium will change. In this journey, the compass will be a scalable notion of the human condition. Housing, transit systems, and the ways one moves around in the city, as well as the whole structure of the city itself, are essential aspects one has to consider when designing for this new reality. 

We are designing the whole world we live in. It’s not a mere design process, it’s cosmogony.

One of the main software used in the program is McNeel Rhinoceros.

Two Rhino.Inside.Revit online workshops, June 28–29, June 30–July 1, McNeel Europe

Two Rhino.Inside.Revit online workshops

Tutors: Junghwo Park, Long Nguyen

Host: McNeel Europe (Barcelona)

Online workshop 1 for users: June 28–June 29, 10 am–5 pm CEST

Online workshop 2 for developers: June 30–July 1st, 10 am–5 pm CEST

Since 2009, many third-party plugins have been developed to enable the interoperability between Autodesk's BIM software Revit and McNeel's Rhino/Grasshopper to various degrees of success in terms of ease of use, performance (speed), and extendibility. With the recent release of Rhino 7 and the new technology known as Rhino.Inside, Revit and Rhino/Grasshopper can now work together more seamlessly than ever before. Not only has this opened up a variety of opportunities that combine the strengths of both platforms in a flexible, efficient and responsive way, but almost the entire existing ecosystem of third-party Rhino/Grasshopper plugins can be used in a shared workflow with Revit. Additionally, the Rhino.Inside technology also allows (third-party) developers to further push the limits by creating their customised Grasshopper components (via C#, and even Python) that can access the Revit API directly in the same runtime environment.

In this context, Long Nguyen, Computational Design Researcher and Software Developer, and Junghwo Park, BIM Specialist at Umdasch Group Ventures, will teach two Rhino.Inside.Revit online workshops at McNeel Europe.


Online workshop 1 (2 days): 

The first workshop is taught by Junghwo and is dedicated to Revit users who want to learn about Rhino and Grasshopper or Rhino and Grasshopper users who want to learn about Rhino.Inside for Revit. Further, it is aimed at BIM creators, coordinators, and managers interested in parametric BIM workflow. 

Participants will get a basic understanding of how to use Rhino.Inside, will learn about BIM Management use-cases using Rhino.Inside and BIM workflow using Rhino.Inside and useful Grasshopper plugins for parametric BIM Design.

Course requirements: Basic knowledge of Rhino, Grasshopper and Revit.

Online workshop 2 (2 days): 
The second workshop is taught by Long and is dedicated to Revit or Rhino users who want to learn about the Revit and the Rhino APIs, and BIM experts with basic programming skills. The workshop will introduce how to make a custom Grasshopper component that relies on the Rhino.Inside framework to access the Revit API. The goal is to foster a better understanding of why Rhino.Inside makes the interoperability between different software applications much easier from a developer perspective (write and test code), to create C# scripts and custom Grasshopper components that access the Revit API, and ultimately to use the existing McNeel’s open software development framework for Rhino.Inside.Revit to make writing code easier.

Course requirements: As Workshop 2 is primarily based on the C# programming language, a basic level of C# and plugin development for Grasshopper is required. If you have no prior experience in either of these two topics, it is possible to self-learn using a free 3-day online course. (when visiting this URL, please scroll down a bit until you see C# Scripting and Plugin Development for Grasshopper.) Even though this course is a 3-day online course, watching and following the first 1.5 days should be sufficient to participate in Workshop 2.

Online course fees:
Online Workshop 1 for users: EUR 250,- (+VAT); full-time students and university teachers get a 50% discount (proof of status required).

Online Workshop 2 for developers: EUR 250,- (+VAT); full-time students and university teachers get a 50% discount (proof of status required).

Special offer for both online workshops: EUR 480,- (+VAT)

Please note, your seat is confirmed after payment has cleared.

Max. number of participants for each course: 25. If there is no quorum, the course will be canceled 15 days before.

Course language: English

Into the Wild - design competitions by Non Architecture

Nature is the designer of this world. Since ancient history, we have always imagined and represented nature in a great many ways across history, painting it and worshipping it. Today we ended up undervaluing it.

Architects and designers have control over our built environment; by designing cities and buildings to empower rather than disconnect from ecosystems, we can change our proximity to the environment and change our physical relationship to it. Rekindling our relationship with nature is a task that architecture and urban design are well suited to tackle. Recognizing and making decisions based on nature’s value will be essential for building a better world.

Bringing nature back into our cities and enhancing existing ecological zones can deliver a truly impressive array of benefits, ranging from health and well-being to climate change adaptation and mitigation. However, reconciling cities with nature requires more than just a scientific approach.

Into the Wild is a compilation of design challenges that aim to approach the element of nature from different perspectives.

In this scenario, Rhino software presents itself as a powerful creative tool to design and develop the most innovative proposal to submit on this series of competitions.
