DocumentationPlanned
AutoCAD for architectural drawings
Clean 2D drawings an office or a workshop can use: layers, line weights, dimensions, blocks and layouts, practised on a real detail sheet.
- Set up layers, line weights and text styles
- Dimension and annotate to a standard
- Plot clean layouts and sheets
ComputationalPlanned
Rhino 3D modelling for architecture
Modelling buildings and pavilions in Rhino: curves, surfaces and solids, a tidy layer structure, and models ready for Grasshopper or rendering.
- Model with curves, surfaces and solids
- Organise layers and blocks
- Prepare models for Grasshopper and rendering
BIMPlanned
Revit for construction drawings
From a model to a complete A3 drawing set: plans, sections, elevations, schedules and sheets that stay consistent as the design changes.
- Set up views, sheets and title blocks
- Dimension and tag from the model
- Produce a consistent A3 set
BIMPlanned
BIM coordination and clash detection with ISO 19650 principles
Federating architecture, structure and MEP models, setting clash rules and running coordination rounds down to zero, with a BEP and CDE naming. Taught on a self-initiated case study.
- Write a simple BEP and clash matrix
- Federate models on shared coordinates
- Run and report clash rounds
ComputationalPlanned
Python and Dynamo for Revit automation
Automating repetitive documentation and writing your own checks on the Revit API, as used for the Villa in Syria set and the Váci Corner clash engine.
- Automate dimensions, tags and sheets
- Read and filter elements with Python
- Build a simple model check
ComputationalPlanned
Climate-driven design with Grasshopper and Ladybug
Reading sun and heat data and turning it into geometry: openings, rib depths and shade, checked with a ray-traced study.
- Build a weighted sun-hour analysis
- Drive geometry from climate data
- Verify shade on the ground
VisualizationPlanned
Architectural visualization with Lumion and Twinmotion
Exterior, interior and landscape renders: setting up the scene, materials, light and planting, then finishing the image.
- Prepare a model for rendering
- Light and materials for day and dusk
- Post-production of final images
DocumentationPlanned
Construction and joinery details
Drawing details a builder or joiner can work from, from 1:50 wall sections to 1:2 joinery, with material and hardware schedules.
- Choose the right scale and content
- Layer build-ups and annotations
- Material and hardware schedules
