First Australian GC User Forum at UTS
On Friday June 13, UTS hosted what we think is the first GC user forum in the southern hemisphere. Ben Doherty from RMIT was instrumental in getting together a crew including professionals, (BVN, ARUP, Woods Bagot) Academics and students from UTS, RMIT, QUT and UNSW. It was a great day with lots of interesting work of all levels shown, and some great discussion. Check the posts at MDA-Docs for more. The first image above is by Ravi Kumar from the MDA showing facade studies for tall buildings generated using GC. The second is from Ben Coorey from the MDA showing structural fibre studies using GC.

As part of the CV08 we began an analysis of the Sydney Suburban region in terms of energy production and politics. This diagram shows the distribution pattern of nodes of production that we took as our assumption for the research. The nodes in the diagram are around the Homebush, Ryde area.
More tower…
Some of the studies we did as part of the “States of convergence” movie. These towers were a development of our Arquine Towers competition. A lot of new modeling and design from Ariane and Manuel, our talented animator friends from Hannover who are with us at UTS this semester.
