Algorithmic Architecture
This course is aimed at investigating and exploring the structures,
processes, and theories of computational design. The purpose
is to develop algorithms and computational methods that would
encapsulate the processes that lead to the generation of meaningful
architectural form. The courses culminates with the design
and presentation of an architectural building. |
| |
• |
Kinetic Architecture
This course examines the notion of motion in architecture
through virtual and physical methods. It seeks to investigate,
explore, and propose how motion can be suggested, depicted,
or physically incorporated in buildings or structures. The
goal is to link past practices related to kinetic form with
motion-based emerging technologies in a meaningful way and
project into the inherent architectural possibilities. |
