Competitions club of School of Architecture had arranged a workshop /Expert talk on Rhino: Introduction to organic forms Workshop for B.Arch. students.

Key concepts covered: 

• Highlighting the important aspects of Rhino as computational design
• Understanding the concept of computational design
• Fundamentals of morphing basic shapes into new, less literal forms
• Understanding how Rhino work for organic forms
• Rendering Techniques

Methodology: 

• Interactive presentation, Step by step guide to understand the tricks and tech-niques of computational design by making organic forms and rendering the same using different platforms.

Agenda discussed:
The workshop focused on understanding importance of  

• Basic commands, tricks, and techniques
• Process of evolving organic forms from basic shapes
• Highlighting the important features of computational design
• Organic forms and rendering techniques

The workshop was an introductory session for students to explore and discover the world of computational design through the process of evolving from the basics. This session helped students to explore the fundamentals of Parametric architec-ture, morphing basic shapes into new, less literal forms and understanding how you can creatively express your ideas and thoughts with the help of the same. This will ultimately help create more focused, innovative, and human designs.

We would like to thank our honourable Chancellor Sir, Management REVA Univer-sity, Director Dr. Sapna Papu ma’am, Asst. Director Vidya Srikanth ma’am and all the faculty of REVA University School of Architecture for their continuous support and guidance.
