| Course Objectives: | This elective course is structured to introduce and develop an understanding of computational methods and parametric modelling through various tutorials and design tasks. Through this process, students will acquire diverse computational skills covering basics of parametric tools and computational geometry. In addition to this, students will be introduced physics simulations tools to generate form through mesh relaxation. Finally, students will experiment with digital fabrication techniques that will equip students with modelling and fabrication protocols to create physical models generated by parametric workflows. The main idea behind the structure of the class is to engage students with diverse computational workflows that can have a cumulative input towards couple of design tasks. |
| Course Content: | This course will introduce students to the fundamentals of computational thinking and parametric modelling. The semester is organized around four stages that will combine various concepts such as NURBS modelling, data-handling and manipulation, form-finding and digital fabrication. The semester is organized to facilitate the timely completion of weekly tutorials, design tasks and a final project. To facilitate this outcome, the students will investigate diverse methods and experimental procedures that will involve arithmetic, geometry, design rules, materials, fabrication. In addition, the class is geared towards covering rigorous methodologies, procedures and theories of the digital age while covering a foundational understanding of parametric modelling and computational thinking and their complementary relation to design. |
