Course description and objectives
We consider, since the technology in the design process is nowadays in the professional world fully implemented, it is very important to know as one of the tools that we have at the time of developing a project, 3D modeling. This course is designed to generate a minimum knowledge of the Rhinoceros 3D tool applied to the main geometrical demands that derive from the architecture project design, from which one can start to grow as a professional. Also, in the last part of this, we will see how to transfer our concepts and project ideas from the three-dimensional space generated by Rhinoceros, to a more visual two-dimensional platform such as a render or a line drawing.
As an objective, the course will try to take students to a solvent level of 3D geometric expression and provide a solid foundation of knowledge, logic and performance of the NURBS drawing to face the different geometric and aesthetic challenges that arise in a project.
Recipients
Those people within the professional field of architecture or construction that intervene in the processes of ideation, development or visual formalization of an architectural project, whether theoretical, abstract or materially constructed.
Course Methodology
It will try to achieve most of the objective of course during class time, that is why the timming will be divided between practice and theory trying to give the maximum possible space to practice, since the student-teacher relationship is very important to the time to solve doubts and settle the knowledge.

Intensive courses
To whom are these intensive courses addressed?
These training programs are aimed primarily at university students who need support in different tools and software they will need to properly develop their studies. They are also aimed at all those people who need to learn "from scratch" important and well known programs in the field of graphic design, 3D modeling, video editing ..., both for personal development and for professional recycling.
