Mon Jan 24, Tue Jan 25, Wed Jan 26, 09am-04:00pm, 10-401

Enrollment limited: first come, first served
Limited to 20 participants.
Participants requested to attend all sessions (non-series)
Prereq: None

Explore the new Revit conceptual design workflows, specifically parametric modeling and performative design using AutodeskŪ RevitŪ. The first two days of the workshop will focus on the ins and outs of the new Revit form making and manipulation tools including creation of parametric rigs to drive and modify form, surface panelization, reporting parameters and adaptive components. The third day of the workshop will focus on analysis applied early into the design process (conceptual energy analysis, solar radiation, use of structural analysis plug-ins), and will also provide overview of API features such as Analysis Visualization Framework and Dynamic Updating.

30-day trial copies of Autodesk Revit Architecture will be available for those who do not already have this software. Educational copies of Revit are available for free for students and faculty and can be downloaded in advance from http://students.autodesk.com/

Overview of covered material per day
Day 1: Form Making and Manipulation, Parameters, Making Parametric Rigs
Day 2: Surface Rationalization and Panelization, Adaptive Component
Day 3: Performance-based Design, Conceptual Energy Analysis
