All the tools you need to create fluid and organic architectural designs

T-Splines provides architects with tools to quickly arrive at an initial design concept, iterate between alternatives, and use the model as the final surface for manufacturing.

T-Splines for Rhino is being used by an increasing number of major architectural firms.

Freeform shapes and overall design can be achieved with T-Splines, then exact detail and dimensions can be easily added with the accuracy and robustness of Rhino's NURBS tools.

We won the design contest for the structure, with a design that heavily relied on T-Splines The flowing architecture of the structure would have been extremely difficult to achieve using NURBS.

Initial designs can even be created in subdivision surface or polygonal modelers and brought into Rhino's engineering environment via T-Splines. Since T-Splines can take a light-density polygon mesh and convert it to a smoothed, IGES compatible surface, T-Splines + Rhino is an ideal stage for the architectural design assembly.
