## About this course

‘Topology-Based Modelling With Blender’ explains the correlation between mesh-topology and tessellation strategies to create parametric models.

## What you'll learn

- Mesh Modeling Techniques: Gain foundational skills in mesh modeling using Blender, focusing on creating complex and organic shapes through a modular approach.

- Topology Principles: Understand the importance of mesh topology and how it influences the design and articulation of forms.

- Tissue Add-on Utilization: Learn to use the Tissue add-on for tessellation, allowing for the creation of intricate parametric models without scripting.

- Organic Shape Creation: Develop an architectural pavilion by combining form-finding strategies with parametric modeling techniques.

- Scalability of Techniques: Discover how the modeling principles taught can be applied across various scales, from architectural objects to urban design and beyond.

## Methodology

The scope of the workshop is to model a small architectural pavilion.The first part is dedicated to tutorials about mesh modeling and Tissue. During this part, the participants will understand the principles of mesh topology combined with Tissue’s tessellation. Working on an individual exercise, they will produce an organic main shape and a system of components that will characterize its skin.

During the workshop, we will work with Blender and the Tissue add-on to combine the flexibility of mesh modeling with the different tessellation strategies of Tissue. We will understand the correlation between mesh topology and tessellation strategies. Thanks to a combination of modifiers and Tissue, we will be able to create complex parametric models without the need for scripting or node interfaces. These methods will be applied to an architectural object, but their principles can be easily applied to different scales, from urban design to wearable products.

The students will learn the basic principles of Mesh modeling in Blender. In addition, thanks to a combination of form-finding strategies and parametric modeling using the Tissue add-on, they will also understand how to obtain functional and appealing architectural objects.
