Content of Learning Activity
- Introduction to new digital technologies applied to the design and architectural production.
- Presentation of methods, tools and digital devices able to support the design, production and upgrading of architectural space.
- Propose solutions (technical and methodological) to overcome the complexity of the new forms of architectural expression (non-standard architecture) and the new challenges of architectural design (performance optimization).
- Learning techniques of :
- Parametric modeling (<em>Grasshopper</em> and<em> Rhino)</em>
- 3D Acquisition (Photogrammetry and laser scan)
- Digital Manufacturing (laser cut, 3D printing).
Required Learning Resources/Tools
- Teacher Presentations (as the subject matter)
- Visiting lecturer presentations
- Exercises (parametric modeling - Digital Manufacturing - optimization)
- Blogs (parametric modeling, non-standard architecture, digital fabrication)
- Tutorials and online manuals on modeling techniques and digital acquisition
- References, scientific theses and papers (digital architecture field)
