Learning Outcomes of UE

- Awareness of digital architectural culture (the concept of digital continuum)
- Awareness, training and implementation of advanced modeling techniques
- Awareness, training and implementation of digital manufacturing techniques

Content of UE

- 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).
