Academic research developed at DIA Winter Semester 2016- 2017
Directed by Karim Soliman
This Semester the compulsory CAD-Logic course will be focusing on modeling the evolution of one site through time. In other words we will travel through time till the origin of a place. Particularly the famous Kottbusser Tor in Berlin.
We will learn how to model using the tools Rhino and Grasshopper. A very detailed building goes back to the 20th centuries. We will learn how to render them in very high quality images / animations and how to prepare this material to be viewed in 3D with Virtual Reality Glasses.
While in the Green studio the students are designing the future of the site, you in CAD-Logic course will be producing its past and present.
In the end all of these footage will create a 3D moving pictures that the audience can experience them with the VR glasses and slide to move from one time to the other
Virtual reality together with advanced modeling and rendered animation are basic tools that each architect needs to be equipped with to express their designs.
