TRANSFORMATION – 2D / 3D digital modelling / 3D printing

Always everything is constantly changing.

How can objects metamorphose, mutate and be modified into a new hybrid? You will explore the transformation of shapes, spaces and forms through their structures, appearance and function.

How can objects/spaces be translated into multiple variations and iterations?
Is it a matter of definition? 

The principles of transformation of geometry and the transformation of materials will be explored in this course through series of manipulations. Geometric transformation will be investigated as a design form generation strategy.

This course will be an introduction to 2D/3D digital modelling and 3D printing and will lead you through the design process in Rhino and various techniques and methods of visualization. You will be able to visualize and realize various transformation processes.

You will analyze examples of transformable structures and intelligent kinetic architecture from artists, designers and architects. It will be an exploration of the relationships between form, composition and visual perception into space. Through the analysis of spatial examples, we will review how transformation principles affect our senses and perception.
