Optimizing discrete and semi-discrete models of Freeform Envelopes for fabrication
Paneling / Geometry Optimization / Developable strips / Scripted facades
When, where
eCAADe 2012 / September 10 / Full day workshop
Czech
Technical University in Prague and
Faculty of Architecture
Target audience
Students and professionals in Architecture,
Design, Engineering and Fabrication
What participants can expect to learn in this
workshop
Participants will be introduced to the
principle of subdivision modeling and its generalization (combining different
global and local subdivision rules). We will have an in-depth look at mesh
optimization and how it can be applied for construction aware design of
panelisations. Throughout the whole workshop EvoluteTools PRO 2.0 for Rhino
will be used by the attendees for hands-on examples and exercises. Participants
can bring their own designs (freeform surfaces) to be panelised.
EvoluteTools PRO is an advanced Rhino plug-in
providing access to powerful paneling and geometry
optimization
tools for freeform surfaces with a user friendly interface.
Participants will receive a 15 day evaluation license of EvoluteTools PRO to
further explore its capabilities.
