2023.11.2, 11.9 Prerequisites - Rhino

Before the actual design studio starts on 13th November, we will hold two days of make-up classes to introduce students necessary skill sets to fulfill the technical requirements for the digital section. Students who selected the digital section are required to attend the following classes on 11.2 and 11.9. This will assure students, at the beginning of studio on 11.13, that they have sufficient skills in 3D modeling software Rhinoceros (Rhino) to start with algorithmic design using Grasshopper.

Students are required to submit their 3D practice model by 11.13 as a completion of make-up classes.

For the chapters indicated below, please check : List of Rhinoceros Tutorials　 A full list of Rhinoceros tutorials can be viewed from there.
