Thursday: TopMod & Speed Pinup

Dear Students; as for Thursday I want to remind you to download the Software TopMod, that we will need for the introduction into topological mesh Modeling. It is also crucial that all of you have finished the abstract machine models of material behaviour. Don´t forget to negotiate the borders of your model to the adjanced site. Also please pinup the images you selected and the explanations in connection with the terminology of the module. Pinup the analytical drawings of your plaster models.

I´m also pleased to announce that we will have a guest critic on thursday: Rivka Oxman

Dr. Rivka Oxman is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Architecture and Town Planning, Technion Israel Institute of Technology. She is currently the chair of the graduate studies committee in architecture and urban design.

Her doctoral research was in the area of Design and Computation. Her research relates to the representation of design knowledge and its exploitation in computational models of design. In the area of design computation, she is investigating the impact of the current generation digital media on design thinking and the development of generative systems for architectural design. Research on digital design theories and models is formulating their contribution to the emergence of new paradigms in digital architecture.
