The scope of the project ORDOS 100 is to Develop 100 hundred villas in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, China, for the Client, Jiang Yuan Water Engineering Ltd. The masterplan has 100 parcels of land and 100 architects from 27 countries around the globe are selected to participate. Each architect is responsible for a 1000 square meter Villa. Each project is limited by the size and the function of residential house but has different idea, shape and materials. Exploring individual projects students will learn different techniques of modeling the modern house and exchange their experience inside the group.

Study projects
Projects:
The mid-term project is a model and its visualisation. Students must provide a2 poster of work and submit to blog a presentation including:
- necessary information about the prototype building (plans, facades, sections, masterplans, photos)
- model building steps (screenshots with a short list of used commands)
- final renders
Final projects can be a model viewed through an animated camera (other animation is optional) using techniques covered in class. The animations should be about 30 seconds (they can be longer or shorter), delivered as AVI movie, either 320 x 240 or 640 x 480, plus 4 to 6 hi-res scene images in JPEG format. Also a2 poster and presentation are required.
Students are encouraged to storyboard all projects and connect with instructor during lab times, or class (time permitting).
Student grades will be based on projects
All final projects are due on or before the due date, which is the final class session. No extensions or incompletes will be given. Your entire grade is based on the projects turned in.

Course description
This class provides a working knowledge, resources, and learning techniques for AutoCAD 2011 and 3DS Max 2010. The content presupposes no experience in 3D. However, presentations will be geared to the skill levels of the students. Some background in Adobe Photoshop, and any animation tool(s) is recommended, but not required. Each class session will be a combination of lecture-demo and hands-on exercises. The instructor is available during scheduled studio time to work one-on-one, review projects, and answer questions not discussed in lecture.
At the first class, students will be directed to sign up for the Class Blog (students will be asked to supply an email address; the instructor will then invite them to participate.) This Blog is our means of communicating with each other outside of class. While the instructor is privately available via email; the Blog can serve as an extended classroom, where we can share answers, solutions, and comments.
Students should immediately choose and direct their efforts toward producing two projects, one due at the Mid-Term, and a second Final Project. The projects can be chosen from the list or proposed by student. The final project can be a visualisation of the studio project. The Mid-Term project must be done using AutoCAD 2011, the Final using 3ds MAX 2010.
More experienced students should aim to push their skills. The instructor will work with them on this, even if the content is beyond the scope of the covered material.
First, students must complete a small research on the building in order to get necessary information. (plans, facades, sections). Then write down what you plan to do (script). Then draw a sequence describing what you want to present (storyboard the project). Then build the content. Please consult with the instructor early for advice on the scope and difficulty of your project. Allow at least one week before the due date to render out your project.
