Rhinoceros (Rhino), a three-dimensional modelling and computer aided design software, has become a standard tool for architects and designers. Rhino provides accuracy in translation of an idea or sketch readily into model and document for rendering, animation, drafting, engineering, analysis, and manufacturing or construction.
 

The programme aims to teach the intermediate and advanced techniques of using Rhinoceros in the production of 3-D models using NURBS geometry.

The programme aims to teach the foundation and intermediate techniques of using Rhinoceros in the production of 3-D models using Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) geometry and make arrangement for export, annotation and plotting, as well as detailed explanation on and exploration of the NURBS topology and the practical application of efficient modeling techniques, modeling strategy and advanced surfacing. 

Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology is an innovative tool to generate intelligent three-dimensional digital representation of a building from its inception to construction then completion and beyond.  It allows for the Architectural Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry’s stakeholders; developers, architects, engineers, consultants, contractors, and facility managers to simultaneously share, amend and access the building’s physical and functional information on a building project.

* This programme is on the pre-approved list of the Construction Innovation and Technology Fund (CITF).

Nowadays, parametric modelling, as a means to design and explore complex architectural spaces, has become an essential tool in contemporary architecture practice. Nevertheless, due to its relative young age, there are still many practising design professionals whom have not had the opportunity to receive formal training on this technique.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) has become the must-know vocabulary within the construction industry. This programme will equip participants with the necessary knowledge and skills of BIM application. The focus of the programme will be on the strategic and managerial side of this tool.

This programme is suitable for professionals who will have a need in planning, overseeing or managing a multi-discipline BIM team in their daily job. The programme will be delivered in the form of lectures, case studies and group exercises.
 

Rhinoceros (Rhino), a three-dimensional modelling and computer aided design software, has become a standard tool for architects and designers. Rhino provides accuracy in translation of an idea or sketch readily into model and document for rendering, animation, drafting, engineering, analysis, and manufacturing or construction.

In todays world of 3-dimensional design, Rhinoceros 3D is one of the most in demand digital tools in any workflow from design to fabrication.

During this Introduction to Rhinoceros course, students will learn about surface modeling and discuss general modeling relating specifically to Rhino 3D software, creating and editing 3D NURBS curves and surfaces.

Non-standard Architectures are increasingly important as design language.

Architectural firms nowadays, seek more staff who engage on higher level of experimental design.

In the Architecture Free From Lab, you will learn about free-form modelling - also know as organic architecture - and how to apply it in an academic design exercise.

This knowledge and understanding of design processes and techniques, will allow you to take your own concept ideas and then, explore and develop them into a fully articulated industry equivalent design.

Research found that Building Information Modelling (BIM) will become a common technology in the construction sectors in Hong Kong. The technology has transformed the traditional practice of architecture, in the ways a project brief is conceived, design imagination, design solutions, design communication, and project management. This course will explain in simple terms the concept of full building life cycle, fundamental theories of BIM and current applications of BIM in the construction sectors. It will also introduce basic BIM modelling through computer workshop, as well as visit to local BIM hub to understand real-life examples and applications of BIM.
