Design basic mass models

This video will show the basic steps to make a simple massing model for a design proposal. The development of a basic building form is crucial to establishing parameters, volume, and basic sizing of a design proposal. This first pass is not the design itself, but rather our control that we will start understanding the analytical information on the site. Establishing the correct modeling process will introduce parametric qualities to quickly modify the form as the design moves forward.

After this video, you’ll be able to:

• Create basic buildings in Forma Site Design.
• Create floor levels.
• Create specific functions in levels, varying form and function.
