This is a practical course focused on digital design that is grounded in the particular culture of SFC. With the ongoing progress in digital communication media in architecture and urbanism, programmable 3D data has become a comprehensive tool for sharing ideas. Consequently it has a strong impact on the design, construction and utilization of the ideas. It is used in many ways, including the visualization of complex topology and geometry, the simulation of environmental factors, the materialization of unique shapes and tectonics through digital fabrication, navigation of the vast design space that comes from algorithmic design methodology, adaptation to dynamic environments, and the interaction with human behavior through digital sensing technology.The objective of this studio is firstly to realize the practical potential of computational design methods using these technologies. Secondly it is to build a concrete skill set through a hands-on working method.
