Course Content
Advanced use of computational models in the architectural design process, use of CAD/CAM in exploring new forms, structures, materials, new soft tools transforming the design process, ability to deal with complexity and precision of solid models, making of complex forms, understanding how the act of making (fabrication/manufacturing) by CAM determines the transition of CAD model from virtual (immaterial material) space to physical (material), customization of fabrication, exploration of various advance fabrication techniques to point out how these techniques effect the end product (from form to structure, from material to performance).
