CAAD - Webtutorials

November 2011 created I a facebook-page, CAAD-tutorials - RPortierPro-ductions, to help fellowstudents with learning ArchiCAD/BIM-modelling for there was a lack on easy real-time tuto-rials on the net. On this page i post the links with the tutorials which i’ve posted on the popular filmsite youtube. For the moment there are over 20 tutori-als circling around which reached over 17000 watchings (on youtube alone).

Achitectural ComputingRhinocerosDuring the courses of Architectural comput-ing we had to make a variation of our project of the second semester of the first year which was house in the cityscene.We had to add some inter-esting freeform modelling. Afterwards i’d made the lava composition to car-acterise the smooth sub-stantial-like facade of the design and to emphanize the alienating character.

Achitectural ComputingArchiCADI think i can say that BIM-modelling made the most radical change in way i work this year. However i was very critical (as a autoCAD-adept) to make the step from autoCAD to ArchiCAD i may have recognise the fast way of working and other advan-tages of BIM-modelling. It makes that nowadays i al-most exclusively work with the program. This is only a florelegium from what i made as studymaterial while learning with it dur-ing the Archcomp-lessons.

StudioArchitectureASRO RevisitedASRO Revisited was a large project we had to do for the course architectural design-ing in the second semester of the second year. It con-tained a faculty-building for the education of the civil-engineer-architects. The site was localized on top of the head of kessel-lo next to what have to become the belle-vue park of Leuven. The Belle-vue park which was a great inspiration for the de-sign of the project, reflected in the green hill which is kind of a lathe for the circulation and living in the universityfaculty.

StudioPhotoshopSantiago de Chiléthe previous page shows the photoshop project i’ve made for this portfolio. It’s from a pho-tograph my sister made in Santiago de Chilé in februari 2012. First i’ve photoshopped the pic-ture (lens-correction, image-settings). Then i went further and made some radical changes to it’s skyline, by plac-ing new skyline-defin-ing elements/buildings. I think you will recog-nise some of them.
