Stereotomy: The Net, Intersecting Shapes & Forms

with Patrick Moore

$625

$575 tuition + $50 material fee

About this Workshop

One of the greatest ways to learn stereotomy is by practicing net models. The net of an object is the flattened-out surface that can then be folded back into its 3D shape. Students learn the basics of stereotomy by creating the net of a cube, pyramid, irregular pyramid, single- and double-curved surfaces, and then moving on to roof designs. Many of the net projects include irregular pitched roofs with hips and valleys, while others include curved surfaces. The advantage of practicing this technique is that it enables the brain to better visualize the overall size and shape of a design clearly in the mind first. They are exercises for the mind. An idea is first seen in the mind’s eye. Students will use paper as a medium for creating the net surfaces. This workshop would be great for architects, designers, carpenters, general contractors, furniture makers, and those interested in creating and designing structures.

Key Points

  • Learn proper drafting techniques
  • Learn drafting tool usage
  • Create the net surfaces of folded-out 3D shapes based on given dimensions and restrictions
  • Create and design structures, both simple and seemingly complex
