"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

MasterKeen – Another year has passed

Logo AM4 grigio

Well, another year has passed, another run around the clock. Another sixteen students have gone through our programme and we have sixteen more BIM specialists running around the block.

Monday we’ll start again, with other people, and this will be our MK3. But before I do that, go back on my lessons and revise them, and tweak them, and update them, I have to put on paper what we did last year, since it was so full of good things it would be a sin to let it slide. I’ve had such a beautiful time with my Grumpy, and Bashful Sleepy and Snoozy and… well, yeah, you can thank our captain Emiliano Segatto for the colourful names.

Although somebody had an alternative interpretation of his username

And you can thank Lorenzetto Neri Bologna, as usual, for the group selfie that allows me to show you their faces. Some of them are from the first group, so if you can identify them you’ll win a paper doll of Neri himself.

Here they are

Here they are

This year I was particularly proud of some innovations we brought: an additional preliminary module of Dynamo just to ruffle up some feathers and get the moror running…

0.5.2 - Busy like Honeybees - Script 0.5.2 - Busy like Honeybees

…loads of reasoning around model uses…

1.1.1 - Model Uses 1.1.2 - Model Uses 1.1.3 - Model Uses

…some visualization to spice up the fun, also covering interactivity and brand new game engine workflows…

.Copy of MK2_3.1_Light Analysis_001 Copy of MK2_3.1_Visualization_004a Copy of MK2_3.1_Visualization_004b.

.Copy of MK2_3.1_Visualization_001 Copy of MK2_3.1_Visualization_002 Copy of MK2_3.1_Visualization_003.

…and a brand-new workshop around different model uses for different fictional clients. The guys came out with some hilarious characters and I think it will be tough for this year’s students to beat them, but for sure we’ll try. Of all the outputs, here’s just some of them.

2.3.1 - Brontolo 01 2.3.1 - Brontolo 02 2.3.1 - Brontolo 03 2.3.1 - Brontolo 04

Grumpy, a.k.a. Matteo Franceschetti,
was all about area plans and schedules

2.3.1 - Mammolo 01

Bashful found himself a difficoult entrepreneur to please

2.3.1 - Pisolo 01 2.3.1 - Pisolo 02

Sleepy, a.k.a. Giorgio Marongiu,
had domotic issues for a client from another planet, but had the time to experiment with a little Enscape while he was at it

2.3.1 - Specchio 01

the Magic Mirror, a.k.a. Giada Di Iusto,
spent a lot of effort into an efficient workflow for an effective solar study (here you see again some Enscape involved)

I am also very proud of all the work we did trying to grasp the meaning and purpose of the different classification systems and if you ever need experts in OmniClass, MasterFormat, UniFormat and the rest of the band, you know where to find them.

.3.1.1 - Classificazione 01 3.1.1 - Classificazione 02 3.1.1 - Classificazione 03.

Lots of work was also done on IFC, its main purposes and limitations among the different versions, its suitability to different model uses.
I am really proud of the work they did and of the research they came up with.

Now, before I leave and with their approval, let me give you some of their names, so that you can look them up.

Anna Maria Ricolli
Ferdinando D’Addio
Giada Di Lusto
Giorgio Marongiu
Luca Marcotullio
Matteo Franceschetti
Mattia Firinu
Nicola Scomazzon
Sofia Nichele
Solazzo Giuseppe
Valentina Liguori

Until next time!

A un certo punto ci sarà una battuta, in questo fumetto, e riderete. Sappiate che è l’unica. Com’è giusto che sia. Se devo paragonare quest’opera a qualcosa, il confronto più azzeccato è probabilmente lo spettacolo che Marco Paolini trasse dal Sergente nella neve di Rigoni
