Project 1: Modelling of an Architectural Design
The objectives of this project is so that students can learn the basics of softwares such as functions of Standard Primitives, Splines and Modifiers. It is also to understand and utilise polygon modelling and NURBS modelling in producing 3D models.
At the end of the project we are to produce a 3D model of a selected architectural design using 3DS Max, Rhinoceros of both.
I have chosen the Koshino House by Tadao Ando as my preferred architectural building, and used Autocad and Rhinoceros to create the 3D model.
First I found the floor plans online. Then I traced the floor plans using Autocad.

I assigned different layers to the floor plans so that they canl be easily identified for future use.

Next, I imported the Autocad floor plans into Rhinoceros so that I can start making the 3D model of the Koshino House.

Next. I started with extruding the slabs and walls. The dimensions of these walls were according to the given elevation drawings.

Imported the autocad section in so that it is easier to compare and get a more accurate picture and dimensions of the building.

Completing the model building by building. Only walls and slabs first. Double checking the dimensions by importing the section in.
