| Course Description |
| This is a compulsory unit of study which aims at introducing students to general principles of computation and its wide range of
applications in architectural design. It also aims to introduce the students to the various digital design, fabrication and
manufacturing technologies utilized in architectural design practices and make them develop a beginner level knowledge and
experience in a suite of these technologies which involve a geometric modeling application (Rhinoceros), together with an
algorithmic modeling plug in (Grasshopper) and laser cutting as a method for digital fabrication. With these objectives, as can be
seen in the weekly plan, the course covers a wide range of topics to be delivered in lecture hours and tutorials and hands on
working with Rhinoceros and Grasshopper during the lab hours. |
