Rhino User Webinar. Metaverse: Rhino to the Metaverse (English)

📌[ENGLISH] Metaverses: Rhino to the Metaverse

The webinar will focus on the use of Rhinoceros 3D and Grasshopper for the creation of metaverse content. The presentation will include a brief introduction to the metaverse and research projects illustrating the creative process. Three distinct pipelines (the “Voxel”, the “Polygon” and the “Game Engine”) will be presented and explained to demonstrate the various steps involved in realizing the workflows.

Odysseas Georgiou is a computational design engineer and an adjunct faculty at the [ARC] University of Nicosia. His research described interactive approaches to reinventing architectural forms, based on their structural performance. Odysseas is a founding member and director at SEAMLEXITY, a computational geometry practice in Cyprus. He is a lead computational designer and BIM Coordinator in many geometrically challenging projects in Cyprus, collaborating with international design consultancies.

Michail Georgiou is an associate professor (programme coordinator) at the Department of Architecture, ARC, of the University of Nicosia in the field of Computational Design and Digital Fabrication. He is a practicing architect/founding member of HUB design platform, SEAMLEXITY, and OOM. His current research focuses on developing and applying computational tools in assisting and enriching design and construction processes.

Ioulios Georgiou is an architect and computational designer, focusing on digital fabrication technologies. . He currently works as a freelance architectural designer and as a consultant for additive manufacturing companies in Switzerland and Canada. Since 2021, he is also involved in teaching/researching as an adjunct faculty at the University of Nicosia.
