Rhinoceros 3D

What you'll learn

• Read a building or pattern as a system of rules, and tell a reference with real parametric potential from one that only looks complex
• Interrogate an image with ChatGPT-6 Astra so that it returns usable geometric logic instead of generic description
• Write pseudo-code for a design: naming the parameters that matter, setting their ranges, and deciding what stays fixed

What you'll learn

• Translate briefs into parametric systems.
• Shape geometry using material behavior.
• Control modules and fabrication limits in Grasshopper.

What you'll learn

• Ideation through inspiration, variation, selection, and refinement
• Architectural anatomy, precedent analysis, and multi-reference exploration
• Critical evaluation and selection of AI-generated design options

What you'll learn

• Deconstruct complex masterplans into clear, multi-scalar frameworks—from regional grids and superplots down to individual parcel plots and building massing.
• Translate 2D planning frameworks into sequential 3D volumetric gestures inside Rhino 3D using precision studio camera setups and massing workflows.
• Craft publication-grade, annotated pitch decks in Illustrator and InDesign that make complex design reasoning instantly clear to juries and clients.

What you'll learn

• Understanding the principles of deployable structures in architecture (particularly scissor mechanisms)
• Develop parametric workflows in Rhino and Grasshopper to create scissor mechanisms that deploy and collapse
• Use Kangaroo physics to simulate membrane surfaces attached to deployable structures

What you'll learn

• How to install, configure, and triage Rhino MCP and Revit MCP setups
• How to write project context files that guarantee consistent AI behavior
