Introduction of the workshop:

This workshop explores Midjourney to create interesting, invigorating, and curvilinear forms and 3D Modelling using Autodesk Maya, we will also learn to prepare files to fabricate models on Bambu Studio.

In this workshop, the students will work on creating curvilinear architectural forms, much like MAD Architects/Zaha Hadid Architects (For reference only), using generative artificial intelligence and then use the generated form to create a unique geometry on a 3D Modelling tool, in particular, Rhino 3D and Autodesk Maya.

Prompt-crafting using Midjourney develop concepts for sophisticated and complex building design, using an iterative process we will arrive at our desired results which can be highly iterative for precise results.

We will also explore how we can set up a file on a Digital Fabrication/3D Printing software like Bambu Studio.
A few examples, which include a high-density housing complex, a Google campus, etc.

What You’ll Learn?

Generate curvilinear forms using Midjourney

Explore design styles inspired by MAD Architects and ZHA

Master prompt-crafting for architectural concepts

Create 3D geometry in Rhino 8 and Autodesk Maya

Learn procedural polygon modeling in Maya

Build 3D models from line drawings in Rhino

Prepare models for digital fabrication in Bambu Studio

Set up supports, materials, print speed, and scale for 3D printing

Curvilinear Concepts 2.0: AI Exploration to Fabrication

Methodology:

In this workshop we will use Midjourney to create curvilinear or fluid forms, this can be from product to city scale and then we will use the generated form and replicate/modify it on Autodesk Maya/Rhinoceros, we will then proceed to set up a part or full file on Bambu Studio to learn how we can 3D Print models depending on scale from product to building scale. We will make sure that our geometry is clean, easy to handle, and 3D Printable.

The students will be given a general tutorial on how to use Midjourney and then given time to generate interesting, complex, and sophisticated forms/images on Midjourney, most likely a large-scale architectural project. Each student can focus on developing different parts of the project, for example: Façade, Landscaping, Interiors, Furniture, Lighting, Textures, etc.

We will quickly dive into Maya and/or Rhinoceros initially to get the hang of the tool with a specific form, procedural 3D Modelling from a primitive polygon, or using Rhino 3D from line drawing to 3D Model using simple commands to come up with a very interesting form.

Thereafter, the exercise will be combinatorial, using the generated form and replicating/altering it on the 3D Modelling tool. The students will then learn to set up the file on Bambu Studio to prepare for digital fabrication/slicing with details such as support, material, print speed, and scale taken into consideration.
