Generative/ Parametric Design

Course Code
ARE254
Course Title
Generative/ Parametric Design
Course Description

The main objective of the course is to help students gain the intellectual skills that are necessary within the realm of digital design practice in architecture. The ways of computational thinking will be introduced and experienced through exercises which focus on computational problem solving, cognitive models, generative systems, shape grammars, spatial configurations and design tool development. “Learning by doing” is a crucial approach for the course. Therefore, the course content will be performed through workshops and design assignments which will be worked by using and developing several types of design tools from manual to digital. By the end of this course students should be able to digitally fabricate their design and assemble them into physical models.
