Blender as a design tool:It's more about designing directly in 3D within Blender, than modeling designs thathave already been thought.
Part 1 : Technical Design
Part 2 : Concept or free-form design.

Tecnical design from scratch

It's possible to design parts anddetails:Snapping tools,
Modiers (boolean, bevel, array)
The tools are too be learned andwell known, but their use is then
so fast that I prefer it for manytasks to my architecturalsoftware .
features vs usability, exibility and versatility

Designing a pedestrian bridge 1

I had the general concept: a suspended bridge made of "slices" of wooden panels.
I used the tools I already knew to achieve it, testing the forms and characteristicsthrough the whole designing phase.

A plan with an array along a curve allows to change the orientation of the slicesA set of boolean modiers and solidify modiers cut the slices from a mesh

The modifers allow to wrap thestructure and windows aroundthe oors.Modifyng the oors make thewhole structure adapting itself.

Playing around freely with new tools is necessary (and fun !):It enpowers your toolbox for the next competitions .
It leads you to new ideas and designs.

One needs to know the tools and practice it.
It's necessary to explore and try (when you have a tight deadline it'stoo late for experimentation).
You must know what you are able to do

But no need to have ten years of experience:My students manage to got those very nice results after 4 days .
Thanks a lot
