What’s the Workshop About?

Master the art and science of façade design using Autodesk Revit and Dynamo. Whether you're an architect, designer, or BIM enthusiast, this 20-Hour intensive online workshop is crafted to take you from conceptual massing to advanced parametric façades—with real-world projects and hands-on training.

Day 1: Foundations of Façade Design + Revit Tools

  • Importance of façade design (aesthetic, environmental & structural factors)
  • Revit UI walkthrough – façade-focused tools
  • Levels, grids, and reference planes
  • Intro to basic modelling: walls, floors
  • Curtain Wall Basics: system types, grid setup
    📂 Includes presentation slides and practice files

Day 2: Conceptual Massing & Façade Forms

  • In-place vs. conceptual massing
  • Creating and editing mass families
  • Surface division + placing pattern-based panels
  • Visualization: sun path, materials, shadows
  • Project Practice: Hungarian Autoklub HQ façade concept modelling

Day 3: Custom Curtain Walls – From Basic to Advanced

  • Advanced curtain wall grids, mullions & panels
  • Creating custom panels and mullion profiles
  • Nested families: operable panels, louvers, fins
  • Add smart parameters (height, width, material)
  • Apply it: Begin modelling custom façade for Hungarian Autoklub HQ

Day 4: Parametric Façade Design with Dynamo

  • Getting started with Dynamo
  • Creating parametric forms & dynamic panels
  • Extract geometry from Revit
  • Generate surface patterns like Voronoi, random grids 💡 Boost your computational design skills!

Day 5: Advanced Façade Techniques

  • Dive into Adaptive Components
  • Introduction to Kinetic Façades
  • Recreate famous kinetic façades:
    • KAFD Metro Station
    • Museo Soumaya
    • The Broad Museum
      🎥 Live modelling + walkthroughs

Day 7: Case Study 1 – Al Bahar Tower (Responsive Façade)

  • Geometry intro: Islamic mash Rabiya-inspired panel
  • Using adaptive components and Dynamo for rotation control
  • Solar angle-based louver movement (parametric)
  • Panel tiling via divided surface + nested component
  • Output as responsive dynamic façade panel family

Day 8: Case Study 2 – Wooden Wave Façade

  • Creating wave-like wooden fins using sine function
  • Placing profiles along adaptive reference lines
  • Nested adaptive components with sine function height variation
  • Curve-controlled placement and geometry generation
