WEEK 1 - Architecture As A Discourse
A.1.1. INTRODUCTION Hello, My name is Qi Wei, also called Bella. I am a Chinese girl came to Australia 5 years ago, finished high school in Brisbane and then came to this wonderful city, Melbourne! I study as an international student in University of Melbourne Bachelor of Architecture degree and this is my third year in university. Before I came to university, I only able to do some basic AutoCAD drawings and ArchiCAD designing in high school. Then I start to learn Rhino in my first year at university in the course of Virtual Environments, however, I still know little about digital design or digital designing tools. When I finish the course, I realize there are limitations that using Rhino to do 3D models without any plug-ins. Grasshopper is the plug-in I first meet in this course, the air studio. I find it is amazing. Therefore, the main reason I want to join this course is to enhance my digital drawing or modeling skills, especially with Rhino. Parametric architecture looks cool and is become more and more popular nowadays, which make me highly interested in learning Grasshopper.
