For those interested, here a few suggested Rhino tutorials:
Getting Started (from Design Reform) – intro to the interface and getting around
Curves & Surfaces (from ParaMod) – note that ParaMod (Karl Daubman from Ply and U of Michigan) has a bunch of other very good tutorials that are also worth looking at
Digital Toolbox (lots of great Rhino tutorials)
As you are all working on your Unfolded Drawings, some precedents that might be worth looking at for inspiration:
- Bernard Tschumi, Manhattan Transcripts: A great reference for developing notation, depicting events over time, and graphically laying out a sequence. You can find a brief description of the project here and a number of images from the book at this link.
- Bernard Tschumi, La Villette fireworks diagrams: A series of diagrams of a fireworks show held at Parc de la Vilette, a large park in Paris designed by Tschumi in the 1980s. Some images: link 1, link 2
- Eadweard Muybridge and Etienne-Jules Marey, two photographers from the late 19th century who invented new ways of (and devices for) capturing motion of humans and animals. Their work relates more to your first assignment but is worth looking at (especially Marey, for his diagrams of a human bodies in motion – see link).
