Learn about organic architecture and embrace a unique perspective on building design that merges with the environment.
Introduce nature and biology to your architectural forms with the architect and generative designer, Chantal Matar. She has developed a unique and distinct style that stems from her passion for art, and her experience with avant-garde studios such as Zaha Hadid Architects. She recreates shapes in nature in her product and building designs using generative art techniques. Exploring the powerful software Houdini and its trail system, which are vectors that follow an organic path as they form, Chantal gives her pieces an important spatial dimension.
In this online course, learn with her how to develop organic architectural shapes using a procedural workflow and focusing on mineral formations. Set up an environment for your project, identify the structural base, and then put together a whole building.
