Algorithmic Architecture

: Graduate Level - Elective

This course provides an opportunity to learn algorithmic form-making processes with current script languages including Rhinoceros Grasshopper and MAYA Embedded Language (MEL). Students generate advanced three-dimensional geometric models with morphological transformations in architecture. In the process of the transformation, the students are able to experience & achieve the power of computational design.

Students will be exposed to various computational design methods using data management, ladybug+honey bee, augmented reality, and VB script.

DESCRIPTION

New design artifacts are produced with creativity and intuition contextualized in a social matrix. The artifacts are expected to meet human needs as well as to improve the human experience. The production of the artifacts requires students to 1) define problems, 2) construct hypotheses, 3) develop rules from analysis, 4) generate representations (synthesis), and 5) select a solution with evaluation criteria in the design process. In this context, the contents of this course consist of 1) engaging in various form-making processes, 2) exploring design alternatives that afford various human experiences, and 3) performing an optimization process to find the best design solution. This course will provide an opportunity to learn & exercise algorithmic form-making processes to develop a design artifact that interacts with stimuli.

Our understanding of where we live
is not so philosophical but rather pragmatic

Understanding urban environment with quantifiable measures has been the source of debates
Well then becomes the one of heated discussions … now possiblly the one of main trends
