MBL 557E - Material-based Computational Design in Architecture

Dersin Amaçları

1. To question the role of materials in integrated architectural design process.
2. To evaluate the relationship between material, form, performance, optimization and digital fabrication.
3. To internalize algorithmic design processes that require systematic approach.
4. To realize creative design applications, in which material is the driving force.
