OVERVIEW
Topics in Digital Media // interOPERABLE TERRAINS
FALL 2009 | UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA SCHOOL OF DESIGN
DEPARTMENT OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
Instructors: Keith Kaseman + Steven Garcia
Digital agility facilitates one’s ability to both generate expansive sets of design options and achieve deep precision. Simply put, design ability is directly related to the arsenal of tools one finds fluency within. The more robust this tool-kit, the more power one has to both gain authority over the refinement in the design process and orchestrate complex collaboration towards that end.
Participants in this course will develop terrain / surface models that are interoperable on multiple levels. Navigating through and between several modeling applications, we will first develop then utilize a precise set of powerful tools and procedures in order to establish, maintain and control thick, interoperable surface models with a high degree of precision and behavioral control. Deeply interwoven in implicit and parametric terms, these intricate models will be fully flexed such that advanced representation techniques will be required to communicate the intricacy and dynamics at play. Efforts will culminate in a short movie, made up of a multitude of advanced renderings, numerous intricately constructed drawings and animated geometry.
