Date	2014/07/02
Learning Objectives	Continuing from last week's class, we will move on to more advanced 3D modeling in Rhino, looking at various approaches that can be taken when creating building form.
Agenda
Uses Tool(s)	Rhinoceros , Grasshopper

Lecture: Advanced 3d modeling in Rhino

• Context:Overview of NURBS Geometry
  • NURBS vs Mesh
• Context:Approaches to Digital Modeling
  • 2d-3d
  • wireframe-surface
  • solid body

Workflow

Creating a 3D Rhino model from plans and elevations

We will be using the St Marys Cathedral in San Francisco as a model rather than the Villa Savoye. The base rig can be found here .

Reference images on which this rig were built can be found here .

Assignment

Using a rig built from the collected case study plans and sections, as a group:

• Create a detailed model of the building using Rhino

Please submit the final Rhino file (.3dm, Rhino5 or earlier) to dropbox by next Monday at midnight.
