Lina Bo Bardi 3d Revisited
Lecturers: M.Sc. Dipl.-Ing. Eva Hagen, Akad. Dir. Cornelie Leopold, Benedikt Blumenröder
The Italian-Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi shaped Brazilian modernism in the 20th century. As an architect and designer, she dedicated her working life to promoting the social and cultural potential of architecture and design. Using the numerous examples Bo Bardi has built, the students learned how to work creatively and effectively with the Rhinoceros 3d CAD software.
We began by modeling some of Bo Bardi's works. This gave the students an extended overview of the complex 3D formations. The focus here was on understanding and handling the geometry in a controlled manner. Additional course content provided an overview of digital representation methods such as the creation of vector graphics, visualizations and the interface to computer-aided modeling.
Before the beginning of the semester, we worked out the basics of 3D modeling in a block course in order to then deepen a project on Lina Bo Bardi's architecture in the semester by recording the geometries and transformation principles and applying them to our own project.
