In the same year he worked at Zaha Hadid Architects in London. In 2010 he published Architettura Parametrica, a technical book on computational design translated into English as Parametric Architecture with Grasshopper.

The other option that we are exploring is introducing the geometric and parametric modeling inside the car configurator.Arturo Tedeschi started his career in 2004, combining professional practice in Italy with a personal research on algorithms-aided design, focusing on relationships between architecture and emerging technologies. That's a completely new dimension of modeling." - Volkswagen Team memberĪ: "Yes, it becomes interacting modeling as other people including - why not? - the final client can interact with the designer while creating a new car. It could be more than two people, it could be five or six, whatever. Q: "So that means design reviews can be possible while someone is modeling. We are also working on a new tool that will allow to stream the session over the cloud so that many people from all over the world can participate" - Gabriele Sorrento - CEO, Mindesk Inc. Q: "One stylist could sit in VR inside the car while another stylist is and see the impact?" - Volkswagen Team memberĪ: "This is definitely possible as Mindesk is a multi-user tool.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been even possible for us to even imagine to achieve this in five days only, without being car designers." - Arturo Tedeschi - A>T, founder

With Mindesk you can do all in once in real-time. Sometimes you realize the solution doesn't work and you need to start over again, this feedback process is very frustrating. So, in general, you need some "superpowers" to visualize but sometimes it is not enough, so you need renders that can take hours or days to make. Q: "Arturo, think of a scenario where you have a VR device, you are sitting inside the car, and you are able to modify the patterns live above you, do you think it is possible? This would be a whole new level of 3D modeling." - Volkswagen Team memberĪ: "Absolutely, we are geometry expert and we work in a mathematical world that is completely abstract. This allows to understand how the pattern will actually look like once built. Specifically, the designer can interact with the curves that define the shading system of the car roof while sitting inside the car. In Mindesk is possible to keep control of both aspects simultaneously and being focused on the actual result. This establishes a double interaction: on one side there is the algorithm that reacts to numeric inputs, on the other manipulating 3D Rhino geometries feed the parametric model. We use Grasshopper scripts every day and now, in the same VR environment, we have this canvas where you can edit the sliders and experience the output in 3D" comments Arturo. The VR experience goes further and enables controlling the geometry directly in VR. This makes it possible to explore the model at 1:1 scale and provides the great advantage of understanding the scale and proportions of the car. Jumping from CAD to VR can cause frustration, this is why Arturo used Mindesk, which combines the two together. Being a computational design expert, Arturo used algorithms to support design creation. The design process continued in Virtual Reality.
