MBL 532 - Graphics Programming in Architectural Design

Course Objectives

1.Teaching the logic of the translation of architectural design representations into computer environment and manipulation of 2D-3D drawing and geometric modeling during architectural design.
2. Supporting the ability to structure algorithm , develop computer models and computational thinking for solution of an architectural problem using related models and techniques; in particular Translation of conceptual models into graphic models developed for supporting parametric architectural design.
