Courses in Autumn Term consist of 12 independent one day courses starting in Week 3. All MS-Lab courses take place either on a Wednesday or Saturday up until Week 9 of the Autumn Term. A precise Calendar is shown in the following pages, and online on the AA Media Studies website (www.aa-mediastudies.net). Courses will cover applications focusing on imaging and visualisation, 3D modeling, automated computation, CAD and CAM operations, and physical simulation. The following applications will be on offer for the Autumn Term: major programs from the Adobe Suite, AutoCAD, Microstation, Rhino, Grasshopper for Rhino, VRay for Rhino, 3D Studio Max, Maya, Processing, and EcoTect.

  • Ran Ankori
  • Wednesday 21st Oct

  • 10am - 5pm

This workshop course will introduce students to modeling and animation in Autodesk Maya. Inherent in the course instruction, will be in understanding how to interact with 3D digital space for architectural projects.

  • Pavel Hladik
  • Saturday 24th Oct

  • 10am - 5pm

This workshop course serves as a general introduction to the basics of drafting and modeling in Autodesk AutoCAD. Students will learn the fundamentals of producing CAD drawings, along with basic import/export standards.

  • Shajay Bhooshan
  • Wednesday 28th Oct

  • 10am - 5pm

This workshop course covers the basics of Processing, an effective application that easily operates with common file formats, along with providing vast range of built-in functions for computation and visualisation.

  • Andres Harris
  • Saturday 31st Oct

  • 10am - 5pm

This workshop course serves as a general introduction to the basics of drafting and modeling in Bentley Microstation. Students will learn the fundamentals of producing CAD drawings, along with basic import/export standards.

  • Edgar Payan Pacheco
  • Saturday 7th Nov

  • 10am - 5pm

This workshop course will introduce students to the process of rendering with VRay within Rhino. Students will use a base set of geometry, or may use their own, to learn techniques in concepts such as applying materials, lights, and global rendering configurations.

  • Christina Doumpioti
  • Wednesday 11th Nov

  • 10am - 5pm

This workshop course will introduce students to general image processing in Photoshop, along with workflow integration with the Adobe Suite. Students need not have previous Photoshop experience to follow with course exercises.

  • Andres Harris
  • Saturday 14th Nov

  • 10am - 5pm

This workshop course will introduce students to NURBS-based modeling in Rhinoceros 3D (Rhino). Inherent in the course instruction, will be in understanding how to interact with 3D digital space for architectural projects.

  • Christina Doumpioti
  • Wednesday 18th Nov

  • 10am - 5pm

This workshop course will introduce students to the basics of Adobe Illustrator. The focus will be on the complementary nature of bitmapped images and vector usage in common applications, in relation to workflows in the Adobe Suite.

  • Christina Doumpioti
  • Saturday 21st Nov

  • 10am - 5pm

This workshop course will introduce students to the basics of multi-page formatting, design, and production with Adobe InDesign. Along with other common applications in the Adobe Suite, this course will integrate exercises that most effectively teach students recommended methods of handling file types geared towards common production pipelines.

  • Suyeon Song
  • Wednesday 25th Nov

  • 10am - 5pm

This workshop course introduces students to the basics of Autodesk EcoTect, with extended capabilities with the plugin Radiance. Students will learn techniques in analysing architectural projects for a range of simulation and information gathering purposes.

  • Brian Dale
  • Saturday 28th Nov

  • 10am - 5pm

This workshop course teaches students new to Rhino the basics of establishing 3D geometry, adaptive to parametric modeling with the plugin Grasshopper. Students will be taught common Grasshopper solutions that most efficiently make use of its parametric nature in relation to Rhino’s NURBS-modeling foundation.
