offers new design methods helping participants both in concept and practice. Active discussions on the contemporary issues of architecture and design will be held in order to provide participants with an opportunity to share their views and create their own project.The workshop is going to be used as a platform utilising multi-layered techniques and production processes which can control intelligent geometries, calibration of parts and behavioral taxonomies, normalizing an innovative field of predictability. Exploring material intelligence, formal logic efficiencies and precision assemblies.DETAILS///In the DYNAMIC MUTATIONS workshop we will emerge into Maya’s polygon modeling, pattern makingand animationtools, adaptive skin and kinetic structures, covering all the required basis and getting a taste of its more advanced features. We are going to simulate material properties and dynamic forces with Maya physics engine. Moreover, the design logic and generative processes, as well as the potential of parametric thinking as a resourceful tool for achieving diversity and complexity in generation and fabrication. Kinesis and morphosis will be the two keys of the workshop. The participants’ end result must present both characteristics of these aspects.The goal is creating a project that each participant can proudly include in his portfolio using the state of the art programs and techniques.For attending the workshop there is no previous software experience required.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN///- Introduction in Mayapolygons and NURBS modeling- Simulation of material properties and dynamic forces with Maya physics engine- Animation tools and Maya skeleton system to control complex morphologies - Visualization and rendering techniques - Maya MEL script for creating customized tools and interface- Introduction in Rhino 3D- Parametric surface articulation with Grasshopper - Strategies for 3D printing - Lecture on project presentationTUTORS///PavlinaVardoulaki / Greece & Bulgaria / AA School of Architecture, LondonJiteshJidhav / India / AA School of Architecture,LondonAPPLICATION///http://designmorphine.com/…
d the workshop PDF from this link: http://goo.gl/bcvRNH Download event poster from this link: http://goo.gl/Q0KWCM Brief: Cairo is filled with barriers controlling people movements, suppressing them as well as detaining green and public spaces to the extent that most people have been taking these spaces for granted. Public spaces have been for a while the periphery of our daily life. We will explore in this workshop how we can manipulate and alter people’s perception and direct their attention to how these spaces are integral for city life. This exploration will be backed up by intensive technical tutorials introducing computational design and fabrication techniques and tools mainly Rhino, Grasshopper, Geco and Ecotect. Not only will this be the typical technical workshop, but rather you will also have the chance to be guided step by step on how these tools are used through out different design stages in a real world scenario. Design prototypes will be produced through 3D printing, the main workshop output will be a fabricated one to one functional model for one of the designs using our new in-house CNC machine.

approach towards the architectural concepts and designs. We should embrace the parametric design technology, taking the advantages for a more creative, precise and efficient design process and production. We (architects) should learn from other disciplines, such as airplane, shipbuilding and industrial design industries, they have been using these technology for their design and production for decades. On the other hand, the supreme design tool is still the human brain, the parametric software helps designer's creativity, but the creativity doesn't depend on the software. it's just another tool, which helps designer to manifest the ideas they have, and it doesn't make you a good designer!!! (This is my research and dissertation at University)
I also thought that the parametric was bullshit until I worked at Foster+Partners two years ago. Many jobs (or even the most of their jobs) have used parametric software (Bentley Generative Components).
I think i is good to know the parametric design tools and techniques, let's do our best and the future of the parametric is bright.
Regarding the AA qualification, don't you think the name helps? Especially in China? (of course you have to be a very good architect, not just the name).

There is also one that utilises Python scripting that might be more easily applied. My hope is to introduce NURBS obstructions into the heat map from which I can project into a 3D surface like this:
I will update how this goes over the coming days. It can be done, as it seems this is the technique used in this project (woohoo!)…

orming Along Filaments. The goal is to make it with as few "material" as possible and with the shape of a sphere.
For the final proposal I will try to produce a pavilion with this algorithm. So people would be able to sit and lay in those hammock-like structures.
The ideal would be to find a way to input some ergonomic rules. But I do not think I will be able to finish it until December.
Any advice or feedback is welcome!

DP ($$$ aside), GC, and Grasshopper. Arthur’s original question is very important
and the exact question (and hopefully answer) I was hoping to find on a
forum.
“How to take intelligent 3D parametric generative design models (scripting, etc.) into 2D documents?" Or, deliver the 3D design for evaluation, bid, construction, etc.
I am intrigued by Jon’s comments in the same thread and would like to know how I can learn more about the process (and
pitfalls) of turning over a 3D digital generative models to a contractor/fabricator.
Are there any industry guidelines established I could use as a reference to guide our firm through this type of uncharted territory?
Arthur’s question is very reminiscent of 10 years ago when I was frustrated with the amount of time spent on the development of a 3D model design (physical and/or virtual) only to have to wipe the table clean and start the process all over again in 2D in order to document the project for delivery. From this I jumped head first into BIM and Revit, vowing never to go back to unintelligent 2D line work. I am now working on Bentley software (v8i: Microstation and Bentley Architecture) with the access and desire to venture into Generative Components. I am very intrigued by Rhino/Grasshopper primarily with the apparent ease of use and available resources assisting in the learning process – something not really available with Bentley.
In hindsight, as I am doing my software research I think the current use of Revit and BA (Bentley Architecture) are more of a “bridge”
between the past (decades of digital 2D work, i.e. AutoCAD) and where hopefully
we all will be someday in the near future (100% 3D modeling, i.e. Digital
Project??). Without having the experience
it would appear that DP/CATIA (PLM software) are closer to this than any other
type of software. As complicated as the
industry standards are for the automobile and airline industry, I feel we
(architectural industry and others) are heading in a similar direction with
total understanding (PLM/ Evidence Based Design) of a design (a whole other topic). If anything I think the market will begin to
demand it sooner or later.
Gehry (DP) article NY Times:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/11/business/11gehry.html
I know these type of broad discussions (software vs. software) can be blown out of proportion on forums, but I am would like to read
the pulse of those who are already in the trenches (using Grasshopper, CATIA, Digital Project, Generative Components, others??) and hear your thoughts. Just as valuable would be other threads,
industry articles/reviews of 3D parametric generative design software.
Thanks,
Boyd…
