Process of making castle

 

My ideal castle

This is my first time building a castle in Rhino. In the beginning, I was not sure what type of castle to build, so I started with blocks and parts of the construction. It includes stairs, big spaces, flags, cone-shaped roofs, and pillars. Later on, I added the front door, and its surroundings such as lakes, forests and a second watchtower. 

I created the rectangular part of the whole construction because this is how I recalled a "castle". The cylinder shape of a castle came from how I remember it like a wizard tower.   

I enjoyed the design process with Rhino and I could concentrate on my work for hours. The most challenging part was the bridge between the two towers and how to make it a reasonable combination. After a couple days of working on this project, I am satisfied with the final output of the first assignment.
