You're Doing It Wrong

You're Doing It Wrong is a tutorial series by Paul Bamson (@ptbamson) that aims to inform design students on techniques to work smarter and save time!

A designer should be versed in all of the tools available to him or her so they are never bottlenecked by the lack of knowledge of any specific tool. Technology is moving at a break neck pace, which means that staying on top of current software is proving more difficult than ever! Software like Photoshop, Illustrator, and Rhino 5 are robust but have massive learning curves. YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG i

Early March, I was asked to present 2 YDIW sessions at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, College of Architecture and Design's TAAST week. The 2 sessions were on Integrating Software Workflows in 3D modeling with Rhino and Revit and also in 2D graphics with Photoshop and Illustrator. I explore some new techniques, plugins, and tools in the programs that will save you a lot of time and energy during the design process.

Watch both full session recordings now using the links below. Be sure to subscribe to the YDIW YouTube channel for the existing catalog of sessions and to be notified when new sessions are uploaded. More to come as well. Stay tuned!

I am honored to have been selected to present at NOMA Conference 2019 in Brooklyn, NY in October. I ran a special YDIW Session on Optimizing and Integrating Design Software Workflows using Rhino and Grasshopper. This session shows the process of building a parametric tower from scratch in Grasshopper, covering each step in-depth. Watch the full session recording now using the link below.

So I got bored and modeled the Vancouver House by BIG Architects in Grasshopper. 😅🤷🏿‍♂️Tutorial video coming soon! Also What building or landscape should I model next?

The raw live stream for YDIW Session 02 on Rhino+Grasshopper is available here. It is unedited so please bare with the pauses that occur throughout. Will be uploading a cleaner edited version soon. This session was a primer for both Rhino and Grasshopper and will be helpful for designers who have beginner to intermediate experience with the programs. Will be doing a more advanced session (not listed on the roadmap) soon for those who want to learn how to use Rhino+Grasshopper to do more. I have also linked a previous Grasshopper session that I ran in 2017 where we built a parametric spiral stair during that session. Stay tuned for details about next month's YDIW session on InDesign.
