======Geometric Design for Complex Architecture, Vienna University of Technology, 12th June 2006======


This is a report of the workshop for educators "Geometric Design for Complex Architecture", organized by the [[http://www.iemar.tuwien.ac.at/|Institute of Architectural Sciences (IEMAR)]] and hosted by the [[http://www.geometrie.tuwien.ac.at/ig/|Institute of Discrete Mathematics and Geometry]], both from the [[http://www.iemar.tuwien.ac.at/.|Vienna University of Technology.]]

This workshop was a great opportunity to learn how Rhino is helping to create a new type of architecture using geometric forms to make complex surfaces.
