This subject will examine rule-based thinking in designing with information technology through processes of design development, modelling, and design visualization. The ability to develop these will be done through contemporary techniques of abstraction, evaluation, formulation, and transformation of information as ideas and knowledge.
In this subject, students will develop an understanding of the design process and workflow through modelling of information and taking their ideas from paper to digital model. We will focus on using drawings and digital modelling as iterative, progressive and generative techniques in developing form and design content.
Weekly classes will be divided into Short Lectures, Workshops and Studios. During these classes, we will introduce students to a range of processes and techniques and their implementation in architecture and design case studies.
We will explore these methodologies through a series of exercises and design briefs. Through a series of workshops and support material, students will learn rule-based design processes and develop skills in parametric design software resulting in unique and innovative designs.
Throughout the semester we will explore a variety of projects starting from case studies to the development of architectural pavilions.
At the end of the semester, students will compile their portfolio showcasing their projects and analysis.
