Description
This subject covers curve to NURBS-based modelling techniques using Rhinoceros 3D, and is suitable to students with an entry-level understanding of Rhino. The subject begins with a brief review of Rhinoceros essentials, establishing integral workflow fundamentals, before exploring more advanced 3D manipulation techniques. These skills are applied to the realm of interior spatial design, where students become well-versed in working between highly articulated 3D models and their 2D representations. Students focus on turning their Rhino models into fabrication-ready items for laser cutting, 3D printing and explore other fabrication methodologies. Students then learn to pair Rhinoceros with other design packages like Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and VRAY to post-produce their work in a time-efficient manner. By the end of the subject, students are comfortable in quickly and freely representing their design ideas in future academic and professional scenarios. The subject is structured around six seven-hour lab sessions, with a gap day in between, to allow students to consolidate their knowledge, complete homework and catch up before commencing a new topic.
Subject learning objectives (SLOs)
On successful completion of this subject, students should be able to:
| 1. | Participate actively during studio sessions individually and in group work activities. |
|---|---|
| 2. | Demonstrate proficiency in clear and industry related representational (graphic and model building) conventions. |
| 3. | Be able to generate design propositions appropriate to the assessment tasks. |
| 4. | Apply and understand construction and detailing methods and techniques. |
| 5. | Be able to understand, analyse and document precedents as well as product and material research. |
Course intended learning outcomes (CILOs)
This subject also contributes to the following Course Intended Learning Outcomes:
- Ability to take autonomous responsibility for actions and decisions (A.1)
- Ability to work cooperatively as part of a team, initiate partnerships with others, take a leadership role when required and constructively contribute to peer learning and critique (C.1)
- Ability to communicate ideas effectively, including oral, written, visual, analogue and digital presentations (2D and 3D) (C.2)
- Ability to apply experimentation in thinking and practice as a means toward developing an individual design approach (I.1)
- Ability to understand and generate design propositions across a diverse range of design scenarios and negotiate final propositions with multiple stakeholders (I.2)
- Ability to initiate and execute meaningful self-directed iterative processes (I.3)
Teaching and learning strategies
This subject will be taught through classroom based lab sessions and tutorials. Students will be given given digital files at the start of each class that will set out the requirements for each exercise or assignment. The students will mainly work individually in each lab session, and allow themy to start their assignment in the presence of their tutor, to recieve feedback on their process prior to progressing to the next day's tutorials.
