WS 2014/ 2015 | Exercise I - Formfinding

Topic

Once you are familiar with digital modeling using primitives and Boolean operation, one quickly encounters the limits of these tools. Free amorphous three-dimensional shapes are possible only with very complex geometric additions or Subtractions. But here too, the forms are limited to the geometry of the basic shapes of these modeling tools. Alternative techniques taught in this module include extrusions, rotations, Lofts, NURBS Surfaces etc.

Assignment

Model a continuous free-form landscape sculpture for your current EBB design. This sculpture should include the following functions: seating (individual and group), partial shading, space for planting. Use the freedom that is available through the modeling methods available to create a free-form design. Include all the critical elements for a meaningful structure: primary structure, secondary structure, envelope ... Create a high-quality rendering  of your modeled form of a high-quality in an  environment. Edit this then with Photoshop.
