COMPARED ANALYSIS OF STANDARD AND PARAMETRIC MODELING ON THE STUDY CASE OF CATHEDRAL BRASILIA OF OSCAR NIEMEYER

摘要

Conventional CAD software support, such as Auto Cad, is considered limited or rathercomplicated when it comes to freeform geometry design, because of their tools for modelling. Even thoughit cannot be said that in every case of complex forms they are unusable, they are limiting modellingconditions and quality of results in general. These statements are demonstrated with case study ofmodelling Cathedral Brasilia of architect Oscar Niemeyer in program Auto Cad and Rhinoceros.Comparative analysis will show that for every tested norm the software Rhinoceros was more efficient.Goal is also to encourage engineers to use contemporary programs while experimenting and designingcomplex forms because of the variety of different tools and methods that can be exploited and effective.
