This Design Media seminar will explore the overlaps between two persistent threads in architecture: technologies of mechanization and the representation of the natural environment. These topics will be explored through readings, seminars, case study research, and a series of drawing projects that engage with processes of automation and ecological thinking. The course will focus on techniques of architectural drawing and representation as one way to explore and develop attitudes towards machines and nature. In particular, students will employ CNC and robotic drawing machines in conjunction with procedural, parametric software to produce a set of experimental drawings that blend aspects of automation and risk in their production.
