Crazy Homeless Guy Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) http://www.aaschool.ac.uk/ But, to answer your question... you could probably construct these with Rhino, or if you have extra money, Alias Studio. The later will give you more of an gestural free flowing approach to the shapes and curves. Or maybe look into the Catia software that Gehry uses. But remember... Software does not design buildings, people do. Which is why I posted the link to where she studied.

ihabkal Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 you forgot to say that most of her crazy designs are unbuildable, and that she only has a few actual finished projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Homeless Guy Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 You could build these with Max, though I do not beleive it would be the best software for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluediablito Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 oh now my question is how would i go about using max or rhino to do some complex model b/c i have search high and low and i have found 0 and then again i see people ((well competition ))) with organic modeling of tower and other cool looking object Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter M. Gruhn Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I had it in my head that they were using Bentley's Generative Components but can not find support for that. In an interview Patrick Schumacher makes the briefest of mentions of Maya. Ultimately they are writing their own scripts. this url http://www.patrikschumacher.com/Texts/Design%20Research%20at%20Zaha%20Hadid%20Architects.htm says "To set up these correlations, software from the animation industry (mainly Maya and 3dMax) and from the automobile industry (Rhinoceros and Studio Tools), are appropriated and customized. This customization is facilitated by ‘scripting’ languages." No clue why he (or the other five billion people) call it "3dMax" nor why there are quotes around "scripting". Later it also mentions GC and a Gehry product. I don't know that this means they use them. Though I wouldn't be surprised if he has a copy of everything and somebody in the office at least a little familiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluediablito Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 is this Bentley's Generative Components a new plugin? and how would i test it out to achieve the zaha look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDX-Viz Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I have yet to experiment with the method myself, but some pretty remarkable organic forms can be created using Rhino w/ paneling tools. My lack of postings prevents me from giving a web address, so google this using the blogs search: "paneling tools" guthrie It should be the first selection. You can also check out the paneling tools gallery on McNeels website.

Antisthenes Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 try T-Splines it makes NURBS like Box Sub-D modeling but with accurate curve representative modeling able to section with Archcut and reproduce in the real-world. but maybe just play with NetworkCurveSurfaces with History turned on and edit the input curves to reach your desired result? eidt: oh then use paneling tools to surface it up into pieces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluediablito Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 thanks for the help i will use rhino b/c its available to me and i will also try the Bentley's Generative Components (((i just found out that we have it in our school this semester but no teacher who actually know the program so that will be a little difficult to learn but lets see were i go and were i end))) rhino is much easier for me b/c i have a great history with auto cad (((learn auto cad 14 ))) thanks every one again im still open for any tips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
