resonance, music and architecture

 

 

"Essays on the Intersection of Music and Architecture" is a collection of nine texts written by international scholars. Most of the essays were originally presented at the interdisciplinary conference Architecture | Music | Acoustics that took place in Toronto, Canada, in June 2006 at Ryerson University. The texts range from historiographical and theoretical explorations of the relations between music and architecture via translations of architectural spaces into music to analytical case studies of architectural spaces for musical performance. The book includes illustrations, author biographies, and an index.

3ds max basic rendering

 

 

This tutorial shows how to create quick renderings in 3D Studio Max that represent both day and sun light. This video starts with geometry already in the model, and covers the steps to create quick light based renderings, using the 3DS Max default scanline render engine. Expect more tutorials to come covering several processes based on these rendering basics.

rhino interface introduction

 

 

This video gives you an introduction into the layout and interface of Rhino.  We will show you how to navigate in 3D space and how you customize the layout similar to Autodesk's AutoCAD.  We have also included some very helpful "Introduction to Rhino" .pdfs as well.

 

These .pdfs are an excellent platform to start to develop you knowledge of the Rhino platform. These documents provide an introduction into the interface, and various commands that allow the designer to create both solids and surfaces.

 

These .pdfs also cover the documentation and rendering process which gives the designer the ability to communicate their design in a convincing manner.

generativecomponents training essentials

 

 

This .pdf provides the "must know" essentials of Bentley's parametric design software, GenerativeComponents. This .pdf was sent to us by Brad Workman who is the vice president of building and plant solutions for Bentley Systems Inc.

 

This document covers issues from the installation process to the basics of the interface and modeling process. There are several step by step examples of how to use GenerativeComponents as a part of your design process, as well.

revit families introduction

 

 

In this tutorial we cover the basics of Revit families.  We example the specifics of the Revit family interface through the creation of a "contemporary" window design.  This tutorial touches on the importance of reference planes and parametric relationships.  In future videos we will go into the specifics of certain family types. 

 

For example we will cover the difference between window and wall families.

revit stairs and generic masses

 

 

In this tutorial we cover how to model stairs and how to create generic masses.  You can use generic masses to model any solid geometry that is not inherently related to a known family type.  This is commonly used for profiles, or pieces of entourage.

revit importing families

 

 

In this tutorial we cover how to import families into your Revit project.  We also cover curtain wall systems and how to create custom mullion patterns.  In order for this  tutorial to make sense we highly recommend you watching the previous Revit tutorial first.

revit modeling introduction

 

 

In this tutorial we cover the basic steps to beginning a project in Revit.  We walk you through the process of importing 2D files into the Revit environment, and then basing the creation of your geometry on this imported data.  We cover the idea of "constraining" geometry using levels, and the align tool as well.  In future videos we will finish up the model by creating custom families and instances.

revit interface introduction

 

 

This is our general overview of the interface of the program.  Here we will cover the "ribbon" and some of the important terms and model types that are important to know before diving into Autodesk's Revit.  We will not be covering modeling but will be showing you different types of models that can be created in a project.

music? on an architecture site?

 

 

Yes you have read right, we are in fact working on adding a music section to the website. As architects we all listen to tons of music and more often than not we listen to music based on what we are working on.

 

site profile:

 

deprocess.org provides our fellow architectural students and young design professionals, with examples of the digital means and methods that are essential to our profession.

 

Our purpose is to provide an avenue towards understanding and mastering the ever-changing digital processes that encompass the modern architectural world. Deprocess.org provides designers with the power to convey and develop their ideas with graphic clarity.

video schedule!

 

We finally have a schedule so you know when we are going to update things! Events, projects, and tirades will be posted as they arrive so there really is no schedule for them.

 

Maker Monday:

We will post a video that involves making "things" from the computer. i.e. laser cutter, CNC, 3D printing

 

2D Tuesday:

We will post a video that involves 2D software.

Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign.

 

Workless Wednesday:

We dont work, so leave us alone...

 

3D Thursday:

We will post a video that involves 3D software, like Max, Rhino, GC, CAD, SketchUp...

 

Free for all Friday:

We post what we want, so deal with it...

 

You don't work on the weekends so why should we?

donate!

 

 

We run on coffee. Donations buy us coffee which helps us stay awake and working on tutorials. No coffee, no tutorials.

 

beta search:

 

If you are looking for something specific in the site then try our search feature, but be warned it is in the beta stage. So, be prepared for some weird results. That is our official disclaimer, so you can't complain if it doesn't work the way you want it to.

suggestions?

 

Is there a specific program that you use as an architect that we dont have on this site? Is there a process that you know of that is superior to one we showed in one of our videos. If yes then drop us a line here at our suggestions page.
