Introduction to Blender for Architecture

Learn from an architecture professional!

Welcome to our Introduction to Blender for Architectural Design course, guided by Dimitar – a seasoned architect with over a decade of professional experience using Blender. Whether you’re an architect, student, or 3D artist, this course will empower you to understand how to use Blender for architectural design!

Over the years working as an architect, and later as a project designer in distinguished firms in London, I have perfected utilising Blender for Architecture, ranging in scale from small pavilions, to buildings, and to whole masterplans. Why did I create this course? When I had a team to manage, I had to teach them Blender one on one, on the job, and I had to work overtime to then do my job! I thought, why not start creating courses with everything I’ve learned and share them with my co-workers, and perhaps also with other intersted students. Then I found out that I love teaching and now I am on a mission to show as many architects and designers the wonders that Blender can do for realising their designs.

Course Outline: Introduction to Blender for Architectural Design

In this introductory mini course, you’ll learn how to use Blender for architectural design while designing a multi-storey residential building. Throughout the process, you’ll gain insights into the following topics:

● Creating architecture massings and mastering mesh geometry editing techniques.

● Generating multi-floor buildings efficiently using modifiers for quick iterations.

● Procedurally creating internal walls to enhance your architectural design process.

● Utilizing Blender’s annotation tools to easily sketch and annotate within the 3D viewport.

● Designing facades that allow for flexible design changes.

● Exploring rendering basics to generate hidden line images for effective presentations.

Course Benefits: What You’ll Learn

By completing this course, you’ll develop a solid foundation in several key areas:

● Concept Architecture Models: Learn to create concept architectural models using Blender’s powerful tools.

● Procedural Workflows: Understand time-saving and user-friendly procedural workflows that streamline your design process.

● 3D Sketching: Gain confidence in using Blender’s annotation tools to sketch and visualize your ideas directly in the 3D viewport.

● Effective Presentation: Acquire skills to present your concept work effectively, showcasing your design vision to others.

By the end of this course, you’ll be equipped to create stunning architectural concepts, optimize your workflow, and communicate your ideas with confidence.
