Architecture is about Beauty. How Blender can help.

Presentation at the 2023 Blender Conference in Amsterdam. Originally available here: • Architecture is about ...
Architecture at its best creates places that works well for to users inside of buildings and for the people outside. The design process that produces the best architecture places is rooted in a deep and thoughtful practice that progresses through numerous iterations to test for specific ideas, design responses, and criteria, that aide untill the perfect mix is created.
Beauty is not produced out of thin air. Just like in nature, where certain patterns have developed over thousands of years of trial, error, and adjustments, the design process works in the same way. Beautiful and functional design is generated through an iterative process.
In this presentation, you will find out how Blender is used within the conceptual architectural design process, keeping everything as parametric as possible.

As a fellow architect, I wish you had not spent so much time and emphasis on your particular definition of beauty, which is debatable and not always scalable. Your designs lean towards organic shapes, Blender's advantage is shown mostly to keep things procedural and allowing the base geometry to stay flexible as long as you don't have to apply your modifiers. I so wished to see more of the unbaked process, like the photo of messy design studio at AA. You showed glimpses of hand sketches. Were they done in Grease Pencil? How do you sketch in 3D (with GP, with geometry nodes...)? I love that you emphasize Blender is not just for Arch viz. But why do you choose to only show finished rendering of the small project and your house, but not their design process? While you certainly have mad skills with Arch design in Blender, you might have undersold, or maybe under utilized, some of the other amazing Blender features that help architects iterate faster.

Fair feedback. 20 minutes to present is not a lot though, so I can't fit everything ;) My goal was really to have a more of a "wow, you can do that with Blender?" presentation. But I take your point and for next year, will likely propose to do a presentation that covers the less "sexy" but more important side of doing architecture in blender with BlenderBIM and what the likes of openingDesign are doing.

You rocked 😁

[@UHStudio]

Thanks so much Jenifer :)

Too bad I missed it live, but happy for the upload!

[@UHStudio]

Cheers! Please let me know your thoughts

[@zyzo99]

Mind refreshing, cool :)

[@UHStudio]

Cheers for that!

Iam also an architect, ve been watching BL for v.long time but still aspire for effective use of BL in arch, your records/YT channel seem interesting and valuable to me. Btw. Shabla&Topolite use to be my favourite vacation resort in BG (and Lavazza Rest. and their fish soup/ ;)

You did great! Awesome presentation. Nice work Dimitar 🤘

[@UHStudio]

Thanks so much Stephen!

[@GaryParris]

great work :O)

[@UHStudio]

Thanks so much!

[@MichaelLesterClockwork]

It should be beauty, but I see too many architects who fail to delete the default cube when starting their process...

Thanks so much Timothy!

3ds Max is not used for architectural design. People use software like SketchUp, AutoCAD, ArchiCAD, Revit, Rhino, and others for that purpose. Have you worked on any architectural projects using Blender?
