Rapid Digital Prototyping and Algorithmic Design  

Sponsored by Vectorworks, Inc. | Presented by Sarah Barrett, Assoc. AIA, product marketing specialist at Vectorworks

Webinar On-Demand

This CE Center webinar is no longer eligible for receiving credits.

Creating models or prototypes is not a novel concept in the building design world, but technological advances have taken this idea to new levels and created a surge of potential new opportunities. Influenced by other industries such as automotive and machinery design, architects now engage in the process of rapid prototyping their designs. By using a digital model as the basis for creating a physical model, either scaled or full size, these physical models can be made using a variety of materials. In this webinar, attendees will look at the link between digital and physical prototyping by exploring specific examples of architects who are using both to achieve their goals.
