[ ] Workshop Title

Architectural 3D Modelling using Autodesk Maya

[ ] Key Software / Tech to be taught

Autodesk Maya

[ ] Workshop Description

The main objective of this workshop is to equip participants with various techniques of polygon mesh modelling utilizing Autodesk Maya for designing complex geometries and architectural forms. The processes covered in these sessions will explore various mesh modelling operations that can be applied to a simple polygon primitive to achieve desired spatial characteristics in creating social and leisure experiences. The goal of this workshop is to provide participants a comprehensive understanding of utilizing Maya as a design tool giving them the freedom to express their creative potentials in designing aesthetic organic forms. The processes covered in the workshop will enable participants to design architectural projects within the virtual realm to overcome existing conditions and constraints and create and experience exceptional environments.

The workshop is suitable for anyone wanting to learn Maya 3D Modelling comprehensively to design architectural spaces. Exploring complex forms using simple tools & polygonal mesh modelling through Maya will be mastered by participants in this workshop cluster.

[ ] Tutor Details

Cherylene M. Shangpliang is an Architectural Designer currently working at Zaha Hadid Architects in London. She holds a Master of Architecture degree from the Architectural Association Design Research Lab (AADRL) in London under Patrik Schumacher’s research agenda “Agent Based Parametric Semiology” and a Bachelor of Architecture degree from BMS College of Engineering, Bangalore, India.

Prior to joining Zaha Hadid Architects, she has gained professional working experience at international office MAD Architects in Beijing, China. Since her time at ZHA, Cherylene has worked on various international competition projects developing high-end designs for building typologies, interiors and landscape design.

She has previously taught workshops utilizing Autodesk Maya as an architectural modelling tool at the Computational Design: NEXT 3.0 online conference in January 2021 and the Metaplay online workshop by DEZACT London in April 2022. She is passionate about communicating complex concepts in architectural design with Autodesk Maya being her primary tool for 3d modelling. Her areas of interests lie in parametric modelling, computational design and generative design methodologies.
