CASE to teach workshop at California College of the Arts' FORMATIONS 2010 conference

Dave will be teaching a workshop called "Parametric Design Modeling with Revit", description below:

Environmental Technology Class at Parsons

Alas, summer is coming to an end and we're gearing up for the Fall, which means a lot of teaching and workshops. Among other things, I'll be co-teaching the Environmental Technology course at Parsons School of Constructed Environments this Fall with Emilie Hagen and Wendy Meguro of Atelier Ten.

CASE Lecture at Columbia GSAPP Tonight!

Sorry for the late notice, but CASE is giving a lecture as part of Columbia's GSAPP summer Visual Studies Lecture Series tonight at 6:30.

CASE Teaches GC Workshop at Carnegie Mellon

I'll be kickin' it solo during a two-day GC Marathon at CMU this weekend (yeah, I know I have no life, but hey, I've never been to Pittsburgh before).

CASE Teaches GC Workshop at Stevens

I'll be co-teaching a GC Workshop this Saturday from 9-5 at Stevens Institute with Shane Burger, Charlie Portelli and Robert Cervellione.

CASE to Teach Workshops at Ball State

CASE has been invited by Kevin Klinger and Josh Vermillion of the Institute for Digital Fabrication at Ball State University to teach a series of workshops on parametric modeling, computational design, environmental analysis and digital fabrication.

Scripted Vases | Experiments in Computational Design and Rapid-Manufacturing

These Scripted Flower Vases were completed by Steve with Jon Kontuly in 2006, as their final project for a computational design class taught by Chris Lasch of Aranda\Lasch at Stevens Institute. The goal of the project was to design a series of vases that demonstrated the algorithm used to generate the vases, didactically through their form. This was as much an editorial process, as a generative one: identifying the elements that best represent the algorithm, while still maintaining the form and function of a flower vase.

Parsons | School of Constructed Environments | Design Workshop

Here's a video from PLAID's (Parsons School of Constructed Environments) Design Workshop program run by David Lewis of LTL.  I was interviewed last year specifically for my role in bringing in the program to help out Katrina-ravaged DeLisle, a small town in coastal Mississippi.  

CASE teaches at Autodesk University 2008

I taught a class on parametric design modeling using 3ds Max at Autodesk University. The class gave an overview of many of the techniques that I cover on Design ReForm. Specifically, the class demonstrated how to use 3ds Max modeling tools to build iterative parametric design systems, in order to reduce the amount of explicit modeling so that you can focus your efforts on design.

CASE teaches Orchestration workshop at Columbia GSAPP

I taught a workshop at Columbia GSAPP, along with Fed and Josh Emig from SHoP Architects, focused on the use of new technology in the production of full-scale building component systems. The workshop emphasized the use of these tools in order to facilitate better communication and collaboration, rather than the isolated study of technique.
