Course Content
This is an experimental computational design course. This course outlines the basic knowledge on folding in the state of art kinetic, responsive and resilient systems in architecture. In this course, along with mathematics of folding, computational design techniques will be employed to explore not only the mechanisms in digital environment but also in physical one. By conducting a series of hands-on project and providing a research paper on the project, it is aimed to enable students to obtain the targeted knowledge and skills.
