The aim of the course:
Students will be taught to think computationally and to model with computational tools. Integration of the design with the computational fabrication process.
 
Learning OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
LO - 1 : How to think computationally1 - 2 - 33,4
LO - 2 : How to test a surface for whether it?s possible to produce 1 - 2 - 33,4
LO - 3 : How to read computational logic behind the precedent designs1 - 2 - 34,5
LO - 4 : How to produce parametric architectural forms1 - 2 - 33,4
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), LO : Learning Outcome

 
Contents of the Course
A design focused on computational thinking will be developed within the context of term project, the design will be modelled on Grasshopper and will be prepared for computational fabrication.
