The Third Contribution: Grasshopper

I couldn't think that I'd be so impressed by Grasshopper. After 3 days of intensive classes we learnt a lot of about algorithms and commands and the structure of plugin is so far from routine modeling and enforces to think deeply and logically. For these days we created parametric surface|attraction points, learnt more about lists properties and its function, trees etc.
Some examples of created schemes:

Indian brick architecture.
The international studying helps to see incredible and charming details in architecture of country you've never known before...

Rhino. Beginning.

So, my the biggest hope - that I'll able to use Rhino as a BIM tool soon. Unfortunately, it's pretty difficult to discuss about this type of advantages with others. In general, only students who're from USA|Canada are in BIM. Some guys even told me, that a person who's good in Revit is much more appreciated than others with basic 3D knowledges as an employee.
The first goal I set - to be involved in this kind of software for Rhino, at least at the level of acquaintance.

The Second Contribution: First Impressions

The second month in Dessau came pretty fast. It seems to me, Friday goes after Monday and Sunday doesn't exist at all. This day all of necessary shops are closed and you try to seek consolation in dealing with people. By the way, people're amazing.
Studying reminds me... Nothing. I wanna say, this is absolutely new and unknown atmosphere of self-working, which is suitable and comfortable for me.
We're in process of doing Rhino task now - modeling of one of Dessau quarter. Honestly I feel confused when I'm forced to think about ways of making forms in Rhino which I can make in Revit for 5 min. I grew out of a habit of modeling in other 3D programms apart from Revit and other BIM tools so much, that can't imagine how much time one or another forms will take for me.
Of course, Rhino has a lot of adds I anticipate to learn. About one of added software I'll write the next time.

The gold autumn in Dessau...
