rat[LAB]EDU - Summer School 2017
Parametric Design: Data Driven Art Installations
1 country // 2 cities // 1 agenda // 50+ students // 10+ professionals // 1 showcase
Summer School 2017 - a 3-day intensive workshop for design students and professionals
Using Rhino and Grasshopper, attendees will delve into computational and parametric methods to create data-driven art installations, physically manifested into a space through hands-on fabrication and assembly. The experimental studio will run in two cities in India (New Delhi and Mumbai) and investigate the agenda of ‘filling the void’ at the art installation scale, through the use of computation and parametric methods.
Studio is designed as a 3-day event in both cities comprising technical tutorials, teaching sessions, prototyping, and presentations culminating in a symposium / round-table conference / open discussion with leading / emerging professionals that demonstrate computation, parametric design or alternative techniques in their work, practice, or academia.

About rat[LAB] EDUCATION...
rat[LAB] EDUCATION is an initiative by rat[LAB]-Research in architecture and technology (www.rat-lab.org) to start a new discourse in architecture and parallel design disciplines with the use of computational design and its various subsets. Spread across various cities and countries, we are establishing a global dialog in the domain of computational design by actively organizing and participating in workshops, lectures, presentations, and symposia. While rat[LAB] has taken a top-down approach of exploring computational design through industry, a parallel, bottom-up approach is also in-line to involve students of all levels from design and related backgrounds.

Free Webinar: Surface continuity in Rhino - Intermediate
Free Webinar:
Rhino 5 Intermediate - Surface continuity in Rhino
McNeel Europe
June 2017
11-12 (CET)
Most models have to deal with surface continuity at some point, as it is very unlikely to have an object made out of one single surface.
We will cover Position (G0), Tangency (G1) and Curvature (G2) continuity, learning about matching and blending surfaces together using a desired continuity at each side. Also, we will use tools to analyze both the continuity and quality of surfaces.
The model used for this webinar is a boat hull, where smooth transitions and surfaces are required.
Solid knowledge of Rhino is required. Neither a microphone or webcam are required. The seminar is not platform dependent; it is aimed at both Windows and Mac users.
The Tech Team experts of McNeel Europe will conduct the webinar in different languages. Remember that all previous webinars can be watched here.

Last call!! - IAAC Global Summer School 2017 (GSS17 Muscat)
July 15-27, 2017
Muscat (Oman)
The IAAC Global Summer School (GSS) platform is an ambitious, multiscalar investigation of the implications of emergent techniques in our planned environments. Each year, international teams located in key cities around the globe explore a common agenda with projects deeply embedded in diverse local conditions.
IAAC Network
IAAC has an active alumni community around the world, generating a decentralized expansion of IAAC expertise and knowledge. The constant involvement of the community in IAAC activities keeps the connections strong. IAAC GSS17 places the Global Summer School in strategic positions to take place simultaneously in different cities around the world: Barcelona, New York City, Monterey, Moscow, Tehran, Ahmedabad, Beirut, Beijing, Boulder, and Muscat.
The GSS17 agenda focuses on the applications and implications of new technologies in the dynamic field of public space.
GSS17 Muscat
The research agenda for GSS17 Muscat is an intense period of 13 days of lectures, dynamic studio design, and learning tools to facilitate experimentation and discovering, extending the projection of the contemporary architectural discourse in national and international Arab cultures.
Participants work with daily ingredients such as fluid dynamics, data-driven design, data mapping, programming, material behavior, morpho-ecologies, advanced structures, composite tectonic, digital fabrication through a rigorous computational design workflow.
GSS17 Muscat aims to empower design creativity by incorporating a computational design methodology from analysis during initial stages to manufacturing, merging architecture and engineering.
The digital fabrication session's intent is to leverage digital design and manufacturing for perceptual, spatial, and formal effect and the reverse engineering approach for its optimization. Participants will explore the flow of information from design to fabrication, implement current equipment, and build their project proposal.
The application deadline has been postponed to June 15, 2017.

ExpressMarine Webinar, June 14th
Join Orca3D for their webinar this week on Wednesday, June 14th, at 9 AM EDT. Register here.
ExpressMarine is a new plugin for Rhino that enables designers to rapidly build up parametric 3D models of marine structures. This webinar will demonstrate some basic techniques and then move on to more advanced modeling. You can view the previous webinar on YouTube (Tip: Set the YouTube video quality to HD1080p).
ExpressMarine's main advantage is the dramatic reduction of modeling time, achieved through the integration of 2D drawings and the 3D model in a single, common environment.
Weight and center of gravity results become available much earlier in the design tender phase and the model topology allows easy updates throughout all later design stages.
It is the ideal preprocessor of a structural model to be used in other marine design software for detailed engineering, class drawings, weight distribution and tracking, FEM analysis, etc.
Registration is limited, so be sure to register soon.
