Design Media 2 explores computational methods of design, fabrication, and representation in each resultant medium as integral aspects of the architectural design process. The course is framed by a general introduction to computation as it relates to architecture, and it will incorporate technical skillbuilding, historical/theoretical context, and understanding how such tools can be integrated into a design workflow. Students will be introduced to 2D and 3D techniques of procedural frameworks, parametric design, a wide array of digital fabrication technologies, and digital methods of visualization—with the emphasis on how all four elements can strengthen the architectural design process.
