3D-Modelling Symposium Berlin – Sophisticated Tools In Design, Architecture & Engineering
The Berlin University of the Arts, in cooperation with Visual-Dream Berlin, is organising Germany's first 3D-Modelling Symposium for industrial designers, architects and engineers.
The event for professionals and students from the above-mentioned disciplines takes place on the premises of UdK Berlin and comprises three modules: Lectures, Case Studies and Masterclasses. In these, experts from Germany and abroad demonstrate solutions to the requirements of contemporary architecture and construction as well as modern design using 3D modelling, predominantly with Rhinoceros software.
In the Lectures (45 minutes each), speakers present multidisciplinary applications, including on the subject of Generative Design; participants in the Case Studies (45 minutes each) are introduced to projects or product applications such as Paracloud. The Masterclasses (3 x 5 hours each) develop 3D modelling skills with experienced instructors in product, automotive and marine design as well as architecture. Evening Lectures are also planned with renowned architects, designers and engineers who are pioneers in the use of Rhinoceros for 3D applications.
