ARCH 436
PHASE 1
Learning of digital design tools:
Focus will be primarily on constraint based systems and the basis of scripting in this system
Deliverable: Series of small assignments (10 Points)
Learning of digital design theory:
Learn how to determine the seminal issues of design outputs to determine their inputs. Students will learn how to analyze the answer in order to create the problem.
Deliverable: Research and documentation of parametric systems and development of the reverse engineering process through diagramming and parametric modeling (20 Points)
PHASE 2
Continued development of design tools and introduction of analysis:
Focus will be on development of students understanding of constraint based parametrics and utilization of propagation based systems for analysis and form finding
Deliverable: Series of small assignments (10 Points)
Learning of how tools and theory translates across platforms and dimensionality:
Focus will be on development and representation of outputs through plug-ins, software, and fabrication
Deliverable: Parametric Modelling, Physical Modelling, Analysis, Visualization, Etc. (20 Points)
PHASE 3
Further development of skill with design tools:
Improvement of skill aided by independent research and development
Deliverable: Series of small assignments (10 Points)
Representation of learning objectives:
Students will be tasked to use the skills they have developed through Phase 1 and 2 to develope a final project of their choosing.
Deliverable: TBD (20 Points)
