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 Institute of Architectural Sciences (IEMAR) and hosted by the Institute of Discrete Mathematics and Geometry, both from the 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.

| Helmut Pottmann | Vienna University of Technology | Geometric Modeling with Conical Meshes and Developable Surfaces (PDF 5,6Mb) | In architectural free form design, the relation between shape and fabrication poses new challenges and requires more sophistication from the underlying geometry. The new concept of conical meshes satisfies central requirements for this application: They are quadrilateral meshes with planar faces, and therefore particularly suitable for the design of freeform glass structures. |
| Sigrid Brell-Cokcan (brell-cokcan@2architects-int.com) | Vienna University of Technology , University of Applied Arts Vienna | 3dimensional bend - an architectural application (PDF 1,93Mb) | Sigrid Brell uses Rhino intensively at private projects like the Kunsthaus Graz, Martha Herford and her own company, and teaches advanced architecture at the TU Wien, where she can experiment new shapes and construction techniques with the students. |
