In a field overflowing with various different applications used for architectural concept design, Blender significantly stands out as a program that is; highly capable of extensive modelling tools including subdivision, widely accessible as it’s free and open source, inherently parametric, highly expandable as it has excellent add-ons like Tissue for tessellation and many others, and it’s equally excellent for presentation with Cycles rendering engine and Eevee.

  • 01

    Master polygonal and subdivision modeling techniques to create complex architectural forms.

  • 02

    Utilize non-destructive techniques with modifiers for flexible design iterations.

  • 03

    Explore tessellation methods using the Tissue add-on for innovative surface designs.

  • 04

    Develop skills in architectural representation and visualization using Blender's rendering engines.

  • 05

    Work on practical exercises that progress from simple pavilions to more complex structures like office buildings.

Day 1 Program

Saturday · Feb 25, 2023

  • 40min – Introduction
  • 20min – Overview of Blender and important setup notes
  • 1.5hr – Exercise 1 – Pavilions
  • 1.5hr – Exercise 2 – Tower massing

Day 2 Program

Sunday · Feb 26, 2023

  • 1hr – Reviewing assignment 1
  • 1hr – Exercise 3 – Further details to tower massing
  • 1hr – Presentation
  • 30min – How to incorporate Blender in architectural workflow
  • 30min – Q & A and closing remarks

The workshop will focus on specific workflows for architectural design modeling that encompass the topics of; Polygonal modeling, Subdivision modeling, Non-destructive techniques with modifiers, Tessellations with the Tissue addon, and Representation. In order to achieve this, we will use a number of exercises to build up your Blender skillset, starting from simple pavilion and concluding with an office building.

Blender has excellent capabilities for architectural design and we will focus on how fast and easy it is to investigate design concepts with the program. We will look at what makes Blender unique among 3d apps and how this uniqueness makes it perhaps the best tool for architectural and computational design available today.

A Strong Foundation for AutoTroph Computational Thinking

This course was especially valuable for my AutoTroph research because it develops the kind of computational thinking needed to work with adaptive architectural systems. The progression from mathematical surfaces and data structures to recursive algorithms, meshes, and volumetric modeling shows how design can emerge from rules, relationships, and feedback. Rather than treating Grasshopper as a form-making tool, the workshop encourages participants to design the process itself, which closely aligns with my interest in architectures that can respond, transform, and evolve.

Excellent Course for Architectural Competitions

A very useful and well-structured course that clearly explains how to use AI throughout the architectural competition process, from understanding and rethinking the brief to concept development, visualization, presentation boards, and final submission. I learned practical methods that can improve creativity, workflow, storytelling, and the overall quality of competition projects.

This course introduced me to the fundamentals of how data can be effectively utilized and exchanged between software systems. Despite having very limited coding knowledge, I realized that the barrier to entry has become significantly lower, enabling anyone to explore “vibe coding” and create innovative solutions without requiring extensive technical expertise.

A great introduction to AI-driven architectural modelin

A very insightful workshop exploring how AI agents can interact with Rhino and Revit to create and modify geometry, work with BIM data, and automate repetitive tasks. It offered a practical perspective on how AI can become part of the architectural workflow beyond image generation and visualization.
