KurzbeschreibungThis course teaches structural design opportunities through the use of computational tools and strongly informed by (digital)fabrication techniques.
Lernziel- development of algorithmic thinking
- understanding of principles of design for fabrication
- knowledge of basic/medium Python scripting
- introduction to COMPAS framework data structures and algorithms
- fabrication aware constrained form-finding
InhaltThe course lays a strong computational foundation that gives students the confidence to use python coding for design. This fundamental knowledge is subsequently used in design-oriented exercises focusing on form-finding and the design of efficient structural forms informed by fabrication constraints. The course explores a variety of structural design options showcased through research methods used in realized construction projects (e.g. Nest HiLo and the Armadillo vault).
Voraussetzungen / BesonderesNote: This course replaces the former course "Structural Design VI".
