Course contents :
|
| Modeling techniques:
- Buildings modeling
- Site modeling
- Buildings differentiated descriptions: geometrical, topological, numerical and symbolic system.
Work methodology in digital environment:
- Surface modeling: three-dimensional surfaces creation and edition, surface triangulation.
- Volumetric modeling: solids modeling, 3D edition and Boolean operations.
- Generation by extrusion, revolution, sweeping.
- Analysis: graphic treatment of information and performance evaluation of the design.
- Data management: tracing papers, levels, layers.
Particular aspects of architectural modeling by objects. Creation and edition of architectural objects: walls, roofs, staircases, etc.
Presentation techniques of 3D models:
- Image rendering: methods, graphic formats, time computing
- Lights and image rendering, shade and illumination models
- Camera concept and interactive sights, animation
Final work: Development of a personal project in several numerical formats with Web presentation |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| At the end of the course, students will have an overview of assisted modeling technologies. They will be able to argue the possibilities and limitations of these technologies ;
Students will also be able :
- To control in an autonomous and structured way a software environment of architectural modeling;
- To manage methodically the successive phases of digital modeling.
|
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
|
- MATH0001-1 : Graphic communication (descriptive geometry, Monge geometry)
|
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| The course consists of thematic theoretical lectures and practical sessions.
Practical sessions address gradually issues of modeling. After a few introductory sessions to modeling techniques, students perform in groups complete modeling of a famous building. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| On-site course.
2nd semester:
Wednesday morning 9:00-12:00
Wednesday afternoon 14:00-17:00 |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| The assessment is based on the oral presentation of the modeling work carried out in group during practical sessions.
The assessment focuses on:
- The mastering of modeling techniques,
- The choice of representation techniques based on objectives,
- The quality of presentation (oral and graphic media),
- The critical analysis of modeling tools and more generally the role of modeling in architecture.
