MTS 541E - Architectural Design Synthesis Form, Material and Performance

Course Objectives

1. Evaluating architectural form with material and performance constraints.
2. Generating creative design solutions, by evaluating design and fabrication parameters integrally.
3. Receiving feedback from performance simulation results during conceptual design phase, by providing efficiency in architectural design process.
4. Integrating different types of performance requirements, such as environmental, structural and social performances with building systems and internalizing critical parameters.

Course Description

The use of digital design and fabrication methods as a reflection of technology into architecture, re-interpreting traditional architectural design processes, evaluating form, material and performance integrally in the conceptual design phase, computation and design synthesis
