Catalogue data
Abstract | This course teaches structural design opportunities through the use of computational tools and strongly informed by (digital)fabrication techniques. |
Objective | - 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 |
Content | The 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). |
