After the impressive success of Parametric Design with Blender Workshop with Dimitar Pouchnikov, we will continue to utilize Blender’s potential for further generating fluid and organic architectural objects. This workshop is for users with a basic understanding of Blender and intermediate users who wish to develop their architectural design skills further. Over two days, participants will get hands-on experience with Blender and learn to create complex workflows that can be used for different architectural contexts. The main goal is to equip users with Blender’s advanced fluid and organic modeling workflows.
Develop a solid understanding of Blender for Architectural design
Efficiently create parametric models
Acquire proficiency in subdivision modeling techniques
Produce project renderings using Blender’s Cycles rendering engine effectively
Work proficiently with Geometry Nodes
The workflows you will learn are crafted to give you as much iterative design freedom as possible. You will learn methodologies for modeling in an extremely efficient and smart fashion that lets you make adjustments to your models and see the results. At the same time, we will be exploring the concept of Beauty in architecture and how we can achieve more beautiful projects via the iterative design process that Blender allows for.
Students will work individually and learn subdivision workflows in Blender.
Architecture is about Beauty. How do you get beautiful, aesthetically pleasing, and functional results? We typically have to iterate through many potential solutions that address the project’s requirements and the designer’s aspirations. Having tools that enable the designer to iterate and filter through the various potential concepts that address these programmatic requirements will allow the team to move faster through the concept design process.
In this workshop, the focus will be on organic fluid modeling. We will be creating a catalog of related building and mesh typologies. This will be achieved by learning how subdivision modeling works in Blender and how the software can be utilized parametrically with Modifiers and Geometry Nodes.
As a generalist 3D modeling and animation app, Blender contains numerous easy-to-use parametric capabilities that allow users to generate procedural models via modifiers quickly. Furthermore, Geometry Nodes has introduced Grasshopper and Houdini-like capabilities with Blender, further enabling parametric design opportunities.
