"Re-shape the YAS Marina Hotel with EvoluteTools for Rhino" - Debut webinar on the 29th of September 2011

We are happy to announce the launch of our webinar series on the 29th of September 2011.
The presentation will introduce viewers to EvoluteTools and its advanced geometry optimization algorithms, succesfully used by the Evolute team in real world projects like the YAS Island Marina Hotel and other freeform architectural projects. Florin and Mathias will showcase panel planarization optimization and the use of mesh subdivision by literally changing the appearance of the gridshell on the fly.
The webinar is open to all individuals involved in any aspect of designing and building freeform structures, architects, designers, engineers, cost estimators, project managers, fabricators. Rhino modeling knowledge is helpful but not mandatory.
By request, at the end of the broadcast attendees will receive a 20% discount coupon for acquiring EvoluteTools for Rhino. Seats are limited, register early !

DMSB 2011 Workshop - "A top-down approach for designing panelisations and patterns on architectural freeform surfaces"

Traditional CAD tools limit the designers to using a bottom-up approach for paneling freeform surfaces by building up panel upon panel with certain restrictive rules to reach an approximation of the original design intent. Such an approach has limited applicability for complex geometries, which have gained increasing interest in contemporary architecture. New computational tools are needed to accommodate new design trends and to enable true construction-aware freeform design. In this workshop we will present a top-down approach for paneling freeform surfaces, where the designer has true creative freedom for modeling organic shapes and is still able to break down these forms into aesthetical, buildable, and cost-effective components.
Special EvoluteTools license discounts available for students attending this workshop !

TSplines Design Contest just ended, winners announced

As the contest reached the end and the winning submissions were announced, as a sponsor Evolute was happy to provide the winner of the Architectural Category, architect Cesare Monti, a full commercial bundle of EvoluteTools for Rhino. We congratulate all participants for their hard work and we look forward to see Cesare's upcoming designs. While Cesare's winning entry is pictured above, you can check out his impressive design gallery here.


All the best from the Evolute Team.
