| Course Objectives: | This course is aimed to act as an introduction to digital fabrication. Grasshopper, a Rhino plug-in, will be used as a primary digital modeling tool. Students will learn how to use the tools and software to execute their architectural design projects. The course will also explore qualities of basic materials such as paper, wood, concrete, and plastics in the context of computational design and digital fabrication thinking and techniques. |
| Course Content: | This course will be offered as a lecture/lab format with readings/lectures as well as hands on tutorials that introduce computational concepts, techniques and methods needed for completion of projects for approximately the first third of the semester. After this, the course will focus increasingly on digital fabrication processes and assembly. Students will produce a series of three fabrication projects with the tools and techniques covered in the course that communicate ideas and incorporate data of increasing complexity. |
