We will use Rhino.Inside to provide a direct connection between the different project environments. In this workshop, we will focus on modular architecture to highlight the comprehensive capabilities of aggregation algorithms and BIM technology. We will develop several modules and combine them into complex architectural structures by using aggregation techniques in Grasshopper.**** Program of the Workshop Day 1 - April 26th - **Workshop Overview**Short introduction about the overall workflow that we will use during the workshop. - **Lecture: Project Organization Using BIM Technology**This lecture will introduce the BIM workflow for projects that feature complex shells or other sophisticated building components. It will also demonstrate examples of projects where this approach has been used. - **Revit: Preparing Templates, Families, and Empty Models for Further Project Development**This is the organizational part that precedes any project. ### Day 2 - April 27th - **Rhino + Grasshopper: Developing Modules**This section will focus on programming and modeling separating parts of modular structures. We will use Grasshopper and SUBD modeling techniques to create geometry suitable for the next steps of our workflow. - **Rhino + Grasshopper: Intro to Aggregation Methods**Understanding rules and scripting approaches for aggregation. Day 3 - May 3rd - **Rhino + Grasshopper: Aggregation**This section will focus on using aggregation algorithms with Wasp and Monoceros to finalize the conceptual structure. - **Rhino.Inside: Analytical Model and Parameters**To create a proper BIM model, it is not enough to just export geometry from Rhino to Revit. It is necessary to match Rhino geometry with Revit families and assign several parameters like family type, material, workset… on each element. This section will focus on all these aspects. Day 4 - May 4th - **Rhino.Inside: Creating Final Model**This section will focus on Revit and Rhino.Inside. We will transfer previously developed modular structures into the BIM environment. - **Rendering and Post-Processing with AI + Photoshop**This section will focus on the ComfyUI + Photoshop workflow for producing final renders of the project. ## Curriculum ### Session 1 - Introduction + PAACADEMY Updates (07:13) - Modular Design Integration (27:48) - Project Demonstrations & Workflows (53:43) - Rhino Grasshopper Aggregation Setup (54:05) - Modular Aggregation in Grasshopper (43:41) - Module Connection Rules (48:34) ### Session 2 - Rhino Grasshopper Modular Aggregation (39:49) - SubD Form Development Strategies (40:51) - Modular Aggregation with Wasp (39:35) - Wasp Aggregation System (52:47) - Modular Unit Setup & Connectors (57:49) ### Session 3 - Rhino-Inside Revit Integration (58:55) - Grasshopper to Revit Workflow (33:25) - Wasp Modular Assembly (33:25) - Aggregation Techniques (52:59) - Wasp Connector Aggregation (54:40) ### Session 4 - Multi-Floor Module Aggregation (48:21) - Parametric Wall Aggregation (35:55) - Parametric Modular Floor Aggregation (54:52) - Attribute-Driven Revit Generation (40:16) - Revit Geometry Automation Workflow (22:18) - Rendering with ComfyUI (39:45) ## FAQ ### What software programs and plugins will I need for this workshop?
