Hi All,
As the title says, your attendance will be recorded at Thursdays lecture.
In addition to the lecture, Jeremy Harkins, Director at INENI realtime, will be giving a demo of his best tips and tricks for using SketchUp. Jeremy is an expert in SkethUp so this will be a valuable opportunity to learn from the best.
Look forward to seeing you all there.
Regards
Russell

Grasshopper Tutorials for CoDe students
Hi All,
The Code students in the studio might find these tutorials on learning Grasshopper useful; I did.
http://elsewarecollective.com/AIR/Tutorial%20Videos/AIR_TutorialVideoList.pdf
The creators of the tutorials explain their approach as follows:
"The video tutorials that we have put together are intended to demonstrate the use of particular Grasshopper components or geometry and programming concepts in the most interesting and architecturally relevant ways as we can manage. In some cases this is done within larger definitions (that are not explained) or using more sophisticated data structuring (again, that is ignored in the demonstration). This is intentional and we hope, not too frustrating. At these points in the videos later tutorials are sometimes mentioned (for you to skip too if the frustration gets too much) or simply the technical topics which will shed more light on the subject.
Our experiences with developing content and delivering it a workshop or studio environment have taught us that without some of this compromise, initial exercises can be incredibly uninspiring and unexciting. To inject this inspiration into the introduction of the design environment we have taken some of the most inspiring and exciting design projects of late and ‘reverse-engineered’ them (although they are not perfect imitations)."
I think its a very sensible approach as it gets you creating interesting and useful things straight away.
If you haven't already found this page, it's also very useful (especially because it broadens the application to Jewelry, Furniture and Industrial Design):

And finally, from Andrew Wallace's presentation last Thursday:

Tutorial lists
Hi All,
When you signed up for the course you would have put yourself down for a particular tutorial/studio group. This is just a procedural thing that the university wide enrollment system demands ... we reorder these groups to get the right mix of students (by program enrollment) in each studio.
You'll find your new group allocation here: http://www.russelllowe.com/arch1101_2015/course_info/tutorial_groups.htm
(hint: use ctrl+f if you are on a PC to search for your name).
I'm looking forward to seeing you all at the first lecture which starts at 12 today; it's at map reference G19 here and on the left in the photo below; you'll see it as you look up the main walkway.
