Studio Workshop 3 Material Simulation

Catalog description

Studio Workshop 3, ARCH 763, is designed to offer knowledge and skills on materials and to complement students' levels in computer skills specifically intended for Focus Area III - Materials. The course is organized by a series of technique-based modules on specific platforms, software and interfaces, which aim to progressively advance the ability of students to critically comprehend and apply computational design skills to materials. The workshops will assign simple progressive applied design exercises in relation to student's skills developing material simulations applied to digital fabrication issues and material performance under stress and material optimization. Studio Workshop 3 will focus on materials activating design issues from environmental, structural, material simulation and aiming to activate physical issues in structural and material optimization through evidence-based design. The workshop will also introduce students to material testing and experimentation including material research and development with polymers. Prerequisite Course(s): Prerequisites: ARCH 761 Corequisites: ARCH 702B
