Computation and Design

Catalog description

Advanced computing course that focuses on the utilization of digital design and fabrication processes in architecture. The course emphasizes how computational tools have evolved and impacted architectural design through methodologies in scripting, simulation, fabrication, and robotics. Students will be introduced to nascent technologies and techniques that encourage and promote computational design thinking. Principles such as algorithmic design, data management, and digital workflows will provide the underpinnings for creating drawings, models, and visualizations.
