说明
FormIt architectural modeling software connects 3 elements of the design process that are relevant to every project: contextual information, building performance simulation, and parametric modification. Learning to connect these pieces quickly and efficiently in the architectural, 3D sketch-style environment of FormIt enables quick iteration opening new modes of design thinking. This session will illustrate a process that we're teaching architecture design students: first, how to quickly build design context (both from data acquisition sites and the creation of custom models) of buildings and topography; second, how to develop predesign simulations to inform decisions and create a baseline for building performance; and, finally, how to develop formal strategies by using parametric processes with Dynamo software connecting design ideas and simulation data. In closing, the session will cover predesign visualization beyond FormIt, pushing the file to prototyping and virtual reality.
主要学习内容
- Learn how to generate a context model and contextual data for a design project in FormIt
- Learn how to use Dynamo to develop formal design strategies to respond to both analytical data and visceral design thinking
- Learn how to push the model to virtual reality for early design-process exploration and communication
- Learn how to export the model for fabrication, including CNC cutting (site) and 3D printing (design and context)

- DBDavid BeachDavid R. Beach is an architect and assistant professor of architecture at the Hammons School of Architecture at Drury University. Specializing in digital design technology, David is an advocate of full digital immersion as part of a traditional design process augmenting work flow to leverage technology to inform the design process, collaborate with clients and communities, and rationalize decision making through an analysis only allowed through the building information modeling process. At the Hammons School of Architecture, David teaches in the design studio, the Center for Community Studies working at the urban design scale, and both the introductory and advanced digital design technology courses. David also maintains an active architectural practice focusing on specialized projects for clients requiring a mode of design thinking that focuses on collaborative processes and technology to drive the formation of ideas. Recently, the research path of applied technology is steering the scholarship work at the Hammons School of Architecture in two specific directions: The first area of research is applied design thinking in the virtual space, focusing on moving beyond the notion that the computer is a tool for representation. The second realm of research focuses on the escalating role of digital fabrication to expand the scope and capabilities of architectural design into the creation of analog (physical) products. Both modalities of exploration are directly relevant to the changing role of architecture in society by improving our ability address complex information through simulation and analysis, and the expansion of services to clients through the physical creation of the objects as part of the design and construction process.
