TransFORM Architecture
An architectural design workshop using computational design tools

April 4 – 5, 2008
9 a.m. – 6 p.m.

Global Financial Markets Trading Center
Willard J. Walker Hall
University of Arkansas

This event is modeled after the internationally successful cross-disciplinary tutorials presented by the SmartGeometry Group and has been developed by Brad Workman, Twenty-First Century Chair in Integrated Practice at the University of Arkansas. In its inaugural year, the chair in integrated practice is dedicated to educating students, faculty, and professionals in design and construction about emerging technologies.

The workshop is hosted by the University of Arkansas School of Architecture and Bentley Systems, Inc. The workshop is free of charge and is limited to 25 participants.

Workshop Goals

•    We will present to participants a very high level workshop with access to the latest software tools and tutors with unparalleled experience in parametric design.

•    We will offer a tutor/participant ratio of no more than 1:15. The tutors are drawn from a very experienced group that includes expert users of GenerativeComponents and of other high end parametric design systems.

•    We will provide participants at this workshop with an evaluation copy of GenerativeComponents, an introductory user manual, and example files.

Pre-requisites

It is not a pre-requisite that attendees have programming skills. Prior Bentley MicroStation or GenerativeComponents experience is not necessary.
It is important that attendees:

•    Are able to think logically

•    Can apply this approach to geometric constructions and systems involving logical dependencies

•    Have some familiarity (practical or conceptual) with 3D digital modeling with curves, surfaces and solids
