Course Content

This is an experimental computational design research couese. This course outlines the basic knowledge on nature-informed computational design which is a rapidly developing approach not only in architecture but in many disciplines. In this course along with many well-known approaches, some of the significant examples will be studied in the context of data and act of modelling which are the state-of-art discussions of the computational design today. By conducting a hands-on project and providing a research paper on project, it is aimed to enable students to obtain not only the targeted knowledge and skills, but also the critical point of view to the field.
