Vertical Sinuosity:
The main objective of this workshop is to equip participants with various techniques of polygon mesh modeling utilizing Autodesk Maya for designing complex geometries and architectural forms. The processes covered in these sessions will explore various mesh modeling operations that can be applied to a simple polygon primitive to achieve desired spatial characteristics in creating social and leisure experiences.
The focus of Studio:
The goal of this workshop is to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of utilizing Maya as a design tool giving them the freedom to express their creative potential in designing aesthetic organic forms. The processes covered in the workshop will enable participants to design architectural projects within the virtual realm to overcome existing conditions and constraints and create and experience exceptional environments.
Program:
1st Day – April 1st
Session A – Introduction to Maya as an architectural design tool.
- Understanding of the basic Maya software user interface.
- Introduction to polygon modeling and application of basic commands in Maya.
Session B – Introduction to polygon modeling techniques.
- Implementation of polygon modeling techniques to develop a complex architectural geometry
(Tower typology). - Free modeling of the overall form of the Tower and Podium.
- Q&A session.
2nd Day – April 2nd
Session A – Detailed modeling of an architectural typology.
- Achieving parametric patterning on tower façade and landscape as well as the building form
