D3: Details, Data, Delivery

Catalog description

This course is focused on advanced subjects in the project delivery of buildings, subjects inclusive of Biogenic and Carbon Responsive Materials and Details, Environment, Resiliency, and Fossil Fuel Free Building Systems Integration, Advanced Fabrication, Robotic Manufacturing, and Building Labor, and Computational Workflows, Artificial Intelligence, and Simulating Building. Students study complex, integrated, and sustainably determined buildings seeking their systems based, technological, and labor-based innovations. Students engage in advanced research methods and forensic analysis of artifacts and primary source documents associated with the material detailing, fabrication, data-scaping, virtualizing, simulating, and workflow planning of building projects. Students organize the collection of firsthand/primary source information and interview members of the project delivery team. Identifying how, why, and to what end products and practices are deployed in the construction of innovative projects is the goal.
