## About this course

Curvilinear Concepts 2.0: AI Exploration to Fabrication is a workshop that teaches designers to generate curvilinear, MAD- and ZHA-inspired architectural forms with Midjourney and turn them into fabrication-ready 3D models. Students replicate and refine AI-generated forms through procedural polygon modeling in Autodesk Maya and line-drawing-based modeling in Rhino, then prepare files in Bambu Studio for 3D printing, setting up supports, materials, print speed, and scale. The workshop is Beginner level and results in a clean, 3D-printable curvilinear design.

## 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

## 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: Fa&ccedil;ade, 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.

## FAQ

### What will I learn to create with AI-driven curvilinear design?
You’ll learn to use Midjourney to generate and iteratively refine complex curvilinear architectural forms, from product-scale concepts to large-scale building designs.

### Which 3D modeling software will I use to turn AI concepts into geometry?
You’ll work with Autodesk Maya to replicate or modify AI-generated forms, including procedural polygon modeling in Maya and creating 3D models from line drawings in Rhino.

### Will I learn how to prepare my architectural models for 3D printing?
Yes, you’ll use Bambu Studio to prepare models for digital fabrication, considering supports, materials, print speed, scale, and clean, printable geometry.

### What type of design project can I develop during the workshop?
The workshop focuses on sophisticated curvilinear architectural forms, with examples including high-density housing and a Google campus, and participants can explore elements such as facades, interiors, landscaping, furniture, and lighting.

### What is the complete workflow covered in the workshop?
You’ll follow a hands-on process from Midjourney prompt-crafting and AI concept generation through Rhino or Maya modeling to Bambu Studio preparation for 3D printing.
