The most crucial step towards visualising your work in parametric design invariably turns out to be 3D modelling. But thanks to its sheer importance and labour-intensiveness, it can often turn into a designer’s nightmare.   To speed up this tiresome process, many modelling software host life-saviours called ‘plug-ins’, which are extensions programmed to ease tasks in model-making. Rhino 3D is known for various cross-disciplinary plugins which make it efficient as well as infinitely flexible.   [Read: The Ultimate Guide To Rhino 3D ]   Nothing makes your Rhino 3D modelling life easier than a plugin, and Rhino software brings a variety to choose from:   1. Grasshopper   Up until recently, Rhino was a code-based software that used programs like NET, C++, etc., and many of us would not have been able to use it due to a lack of programming skills. Only big firms like ZahaHadid, Foster+Partners, and others used Rhino and hired scripting writers to ...

After having spent hours brainstorming ideas, building the perfect brief and selecting a great site for your architecture thesis topic, the question that pops into every student's mind is, where do I start?   While you build a brief and an area program, you need to simultaneously be conducting a detailed site analysis. Being architecture students, we’re no strangers to a good site analysis, but sometimes it’s good to have a checklist to see what all you should be covering!   As we know, the Site Analysis is a study of the portion of land selected for your thesis project. It’s a crucial step involving the collection of data on all possible tangible and intangible aspects of your site, to help you make informed design decisions throughout the semester.   For all categories we will put down as a part of the checklist, the process of a good site analysis could be broken down into the following three parts:   ●        Document...
