Esquivel to lead 3-D
modeling workshop

 

Students who use Rhino, a software program for 3-D modeling, are invited to register for a Sept. 29–Oct. 1 workshop at Texas A&M’s Langford Architecture Center led by Gabriel Esquivel, assistant professor of architecture, and hosted by SEED International.

In the workshop, “#Computational Design | Bio-Re | Generative: A Contemporary Approach to Design & Building Methodologies,” students will learn how to use Grasshopper, a graphical algorithm editor tightly integrated with Rhino, to quickly change their projects’ parameters.

David Hernandez Melgarejo, coordinator and instructor for generative and computer-aided design technologies for Monterrey Tech, will co-teach the workshop with Esquivel.

Workshop topics include:

  • object oriented programming, a computational procedure in which one defines virtual objects as data structures;
  • designing computational protocols to describe a structure’s shape, texture or pattern as a set of linear developable elements; and
  • parametric geometry, created through mathematic representations with various constraints.

The workshop sessions are scheduled 5 – 9:30 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, Sept. 29 and 30, and 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 1 in Langford A107.

Students can register for the workshop online. The fee is $285.
