Course Details

1. Create and modify detailed and complex geometry by the use of multiple modelling technics
2. Apply with the available software
3. Use design with mathematical notions and programming
4. Evaluate the potential for computation to be used to enhance architectural processes

·         Software as a tool, Scripting, digital construction: Applying the implementation of machine language and mathematics for the creation of a form, pattern etc. Visualization of mathematical and trigonometrical entities into spatial forms

·         Parametric design and digital construction: Listing parametric features in an object that will lead to implement the parameter value in the design process.

·         Experimentation and parametric design: actual 3D printing or laser cuting of objects created through digital processes.
