Course Objectives
The course aims to provide the students with interdisciplinary skills at the intersection of design computation, performative architectural design and building performance. By the end of the course, the students are expected to have acquired the skills and knowledge on:design computation, specifically generative and data-driven techniques, applied on performative buildings.
Course Content
Computational design applied on performative architecture; research by design; design and prototyping for a small-scale architectural program; computational methods for modelling; simulation, optimization and prototyping; design context on architectural form generation and envelope design.
Course Learning Outcomes
- modeling, evaluation and prototyping of performative design
- a critical inquiry on performance and computational issues in architecture
- a critical inquiry on the relationship between design innovation and creativity
- a rigorous understanding of design geometry and architectural performance
