HYTAC Elective - 2025

The HYTAC Elective Course offers the opportunity to explore alternative ways to approach Point Cloud and 3D Printing in a simple way. The students will learn the basic principles and workflows behind photogrammetry, 3d-modeling and 3D-printing, to produce digital and physical (3d-printed) models.

By the end of this course, the students will be capable of:

1. creating and processing point-cloud-generated context models
2. producing 3D-printed site-models in architectural scale
3. using the above digital tools to advance their personal design workflows

The goal of the course is to introduce digital technologies and facilitate common architectural workflows by skipping the time-consuming processes of 3D modeling.

The course includes:

Introduction to photogrammetry and 3D printing through lectures and tutorials.
Generation of a digital twin of the selected site through photogrammetry and production of a physical model (3D printed).
Use of Blender: basic skills can be acquired during the course.
A small design challenge using the newly learned skills.
