With the modern movement away from rectilinear buildings, Rhino
3D has forged a new cult following amongst contemporary architects,
keen to express their architectural prowess through stunningly
elaborate forms.
Architects have also begun applying a new generation of parametric
systems known as "Generative Design" solutions to do
almost anything, from changing window sizes according to solar
exposure on a doubly curved architectural facade, to the development
of rich and intricate designs. One such commercially available
solution for Rhino can be found in ParaCloud.
Other exciting new projects to be found under developement in
the Rhino Labs include Paneling
Tools and Grass
Hopper.
Everyday architects however, need regular architectural tools.
One such tool for Rhino is Asuni's VisualARQ.
This intuitive Rhino plug-in provides productivity tools that
ease the traditional architectural design and documentation process.
