In the right place then.
The show was pretty large accutally, spanning several rooms with a range of work in each. Models were everywhere which was a plus for me - and they were getting alot of attention from everyone else in the gallery.
To go with the countless models were collections of artwork which as an outsider I coulnt see the relevence to an Architecture degree show but they were stunning none the less - very sci fi.
The models on show had a range of technologies applied to them - predominently Dprinted with elements of lasercut acrylic. I spoke toone of the students on hand and asked about the software used to create such generative forms. They all get introductions into Rhino, Solidworks, Studio MAX - even google sketchup is used extensivly. He also explained that they build several models digitally - some for specification and also some specifically for the use of prototyping technologies. All models are brought and payed for at a little above cost.
Overall the day was great and well worth the treck accross London town to get there! The level of work - and the quality and extensiveness of the 3D prints was a great thing to witness!! Some of the aplications were questionable, such as a printed landform, but over all the applications were very generative and testament to their skills on CAD. Some of the details were very fine and bridging[from my persective] the gap between technology and art.
