Course Content
|
The current transition from Computer Aided Design (CAD) to Computational Design in architecture represents a profound shift in design thinking and methods. This course aims to establish a foundation for computational design thinking and to focus its relations with mathematic, computer science, evolutionary biology, system science and philosophy. Rather than a merely technical approach, it will discuss essential concepts and topics that are fundamental not only for a discourse on computational design but also for its practice. (Algorithmic and parametric design, generative systems, expert systems and case-based design, evolutionary systems, animation and performance-based design approaches, diagrams, computer aided manufacturing and etc).
