Introduction1:45
Explore modern design in SketchUp through practical 3-D modeling, covering structure, walls, roofs, windows, components, building information plans from above, and sun and shadows techniques.
Intro to Modern Architecture1:53
Explore how modern design emphasizes beauty, simplicity, and experience over function by studying works of Philip Johnson and Mies van der Rohe, including glass house, Barcelona Pavilion, and butterfly roof.

1.1 Planning the Modern Building Program1:36
Explore a modern home program with a basic profile, guiding design by light and sun direction from dawn to west, including four major spaces, circulation, entry, and exterior garage.
1.2 Developing A Mass Model2:25
Create a mass model in SketchUp to preview a 12-foot high building’s 3-D form and shadows, then guide glazing decisions and garage openness based on the morning light.

2.0 Making A Structure System12:20
Here, you'll be set to make your building ready to stand. A good structure system is the backbone (pun intended) of a design.
2.1 Installing Exterior Walls5:18
Learn how to extrude and group exterior roof and wall forms in SketchUp, turn off shadows, and craft an open living space with skylights, glass walls, and precise wall heights.
2.2 Installing Interior Walls5:54
Install interior walls by creating a basic inside partition, doors, and grouped walls to define the master bedroom, bathroom, closet, laundry, and kitchen, plus an entry wall.
2.3 Sun/Shadow Studies2:24
2.4 Windows Design Concepts1:19
Study window design concepts from classic to modern architectures, using Pinterest as inspiration, and consider how silicon enables larger, beautiful windows integrated with overall design.
2.5 Modeling Windows6:04
In SketchUp, model windows with a frame and sash, apply glass material, group components, and copy the design across the building to achieve consistent fenestration.
2.6 Modeling Louvered Walls6:29
Here you will learn how to make cool material and surface effects on the surface of your building and spaces.
2.7 Modeling The Front Door3:22
Design a modern front door in SketchUp by thickening the base, elevating to eight feet, framing glass, and adding a one-inch panel to create a contemporary look.

3.3 Class Project Build a Modern House
3.0 Site Development5:18
Explore site development in SketchUp by crafting a sloped, multi-level site with parallel projection, grading, roads, concrete coloring, and draping into groups.
3.1 Generating Visuals2:59
3.2 Generating Plans, Sections & Elevations5:22
Generate plans, sections, and elevations in SketchUp, export to Layout, apply hidden line styles, adjust shadows, and present a modern house drawing set to clients.

Requirements

Basic Knowledge of SketchUp

Description

Finally, a resource to help navigate the 3D Modeling of a Modern Home. This course goes from scratch with a few design ideas and a basic layout to a set of drawings for a full Modern Architectural Design. You will build your SketchUp and 3d modeling skillsets in the modeling and designing of a 3d Modern home.

What you learn in this course:

- Techniques for building massing

- Techniques for sun diagrams and studies

- How to make a simple modern structure

- How to build 3d sites, and make roads

- How to generate plans, sections and elevations of 3d models

- How to get quality views/renderings of modern 3d projects

If you want to get further in your modeling and design skills, then this course is the tool you need to get to the Next Level.
